Welcome to Discussion of the Week: Freedom Unite Armor Sets! Again, just something a little bit different. Makes a change from monsters, areas, Frontier, etc.
I think it'd be remiss of me not to mention the armor set we've all used at some point in our lives. Not that it's any way good, obviously. Although having said that, Divine Protection...

You know, Kut-Ku actually has a fairly reasonable set of armor for Low Rank. How many beginners are going to argue with extra health and boosted attack?

I love Rathalos Soul U as well. HGE makes Diablos and the Raths so much easier, and you can get some good levels of Reckless Abandon out of it. Although personally I find Azure Rath more annoying to farm than Shogun Ceanataur...

I suppose this armor set is great if you're against a monster you hate and you keep taking damage. Apart from that... it isn't even great-looking, IMO. And I'm not sure where the developers saw a connection between Rathian and healing...

Some very cool Gunner armor. Attack Up (Large) as an innate skill is great, and Normal/Rapid Up is also excellent, seeing as Normal/Rapid tend to be the default means of attack for Bowguns and Bows.

Questions Suggest your own set from MHFU and I might find time to put it in the list above.
Without going into combos, which is your favourite full armor set?
Which is best in terms of looks?
Which armor sets are most over-rated or under-rated?
Are there any armor sets that work really well against specific monsters?
