I tend to circle around Terra Shogun while charging my hammer, and let out superpounds on the legs when I get a chance, and attack the head/body when it falls over. I've managed to weaken it to the point where it blows purple bubbles (which I've heard indicate that it's ready to be captured), but it tends to kill me soon afterwards. I just hate the massive range its claws have when extended (and how it goes into insta-rage mode if I break them to reduce the range). As for the armour, Black Diablos isn't available at HR8, so I'm using Khezu Z helm and waist, Conga Z torso, and Rathalos Soul Z arms and legs. I generally use the Crow Torrent, as I believe that has the highest average DoT of any raw hammer at HR8, with the use of Sharpness +1 (could be wrong on that though, but I'm fairly sure it outdamages Juggernaut of Deep Darkhammer).
