Fun fact: Attack up (sm, med ,lg) used to only add (3,5,10) raw damage (not with multiplier) to your weapon in MHdos, which completely sucks.

My old favourite skill got to be Adrenaline+2: My bread and butter in the dark days of trying to solo MHdos. If everything can and will almost one shot you anyway, why not add a lot of damage to compensate? There aren't even focus nor critical draw for my gs and its almost impossible to get more than 1-2 good skills without having a pathetic defense there until like endgame.

My new favourite skill is probably Awaken. It basically unlocks the potential to be usable for a lot of weapons and for some of them to be one of the best (I'm looking at you, bushido,grongigas and black tempest). And maybe challenger+1/+2, the idea of having your own rage mode is pretty cool.
