Yeah, I'm usually one of the last to join in so it happens. No big deal. Better someone else join the hunt than have me drop out during a giant Jho hunt when every weapon counts.
Besides, the Damascus armor set I really wanna use for that still isn't finish.
By the way Maxi, I know you've used Adrenaline before but I've seen a few hunters take that skill to another level. Guild hat, Soulhunter Jacket, with Leather pants. Gonna assume the waist was the Chakra Waistlet but I'm not sure. Not sure if any gemming is required but basically you'll have Adrenaline & if/when you die Fortify kicks in & you'll return stronger which will boost the power of Adrenaline once your life drops low again. Of course if you die again Fortify hits you with yet another attack boost & couple that with Adrenaline...
Oh & if you color change the hat & pants white you'll look like a cowboy.
