Survivability is key to a Hunter's efficiency out in the untamed wilds of the New World. You're no use to anyone if the medical cart back to camp is your favourite hangout. Thankfully, if you have a tendency for making risque plays against World's gnarly natives and subsequently in the market for some gear that accounts for your aggressive nature, look no further than Vaal Hazak's set.

Its innate ability to allow automatic recovery of otherwise 'permanent' (potions excluded) damage works in harmony with a maxed out Recovery Speed skill, meaning that unless you're charging headfirst like a lemming into the path of a Tempered Bazelgeuse's bombing run, your chances of unintended death are slim to none.

Besides being the perfect remedy for the mistake-prone Hunter, any frontier fighters that pledge unconditional love to the (Gun)lance will find that donning Vaal's set will make them tankier than a Challenger. Plus, it makes you look like a badass.

Win-win.
