It' cool and can be fun to fight with a competent group. I mean knowing when to guard or when to superman is one thing, but watching people with the defense down buff run right past my Steam bomb and without even stopping to heal...it's like they are purposely trying to fail the quest, just to mess with everyone, cause I have a hard time believe people are really that bad at G-Rank.

Moving on, the Armor is pretty good and somewhat cool looking. I especially like using the G-Rank Armor with Bows.

The weapons are actually pretty good if you have an armor set that has Sharpness +1 and Fencing, as the higher Raw makes up for the lower damage modifier of blue sharpness and fencing keeps it from bouncing.

With Star Knight for example, gemmed for Sharpness +1, everything but the LS hits on average(affinity included) for as hard as it would if it had white sharpness but didn't have the Affinity(including the Power Charm/Talon). The LS hits as hard as a 315(300 base) LS with Purple sharpness, but without affinity, but for a bit less than the Tigrine Esurience.

HBG just needs a way to reduce it's recoil & increase it's reload speed and the Bow only needs Load Up.
