1 They are the only leg armor that has two slots I have upgraded fully. I plan on swapping them out for empress greaves alpha when the update drops. Or use this weeks gold ticket on a Vaak gem for Kulve Taroth's. This is just the set I have been using to hunt Kirin since I got my first tenderizer jewel. It does need optimizing, but it still works.
2 I like this LBG more than my Bow. I could take my cluster bomb HBG, but I would most likely get one shot while trying to knock the horse down.
4 I dont know how hard Kirin can hit. If I can take a thunder bolt without the defense, I will remove them and add things to make my attacks better like crit or more peak performance.
