User blog comment:SusM/Unluckiest Hunter Alive/@comment-5020152-20130710132705

Duramboros is best with a Hammer. I used full Gigginox armor and the Plume Flint.

As for the Lagiacrus capturing fail, just hear this - in MHFU I tried capturing a Rathian, only to have a Genprey paralyze me just as she touched the trap. Ugh, worst quest ever...

You aren't the unluckiest hunter in the world, we all have our unfortunate moments. You'll get lucky sooner or later. Is MH3U your first MH game? If so, I think you're just inexperienced and the game will get easier if you just keep playing.
