it is good, you can walk between towers very fast in wars
in hunting you can kill a lot higher lvl mobs, like smilo, ankies or brontos, ofc it would be very hard to kill a lot higher lvl bandits and to use it in far range hunting you need to hunt somewhere where is a lot of free space, otherwise its possible that you wont be able easily escape from mobs or several alphas/vets will attack you
combo depends on pve and pvp situations, but mostly this is useful: dino vita, endu, stab/any other imp, heat/any other imp, for gun dmg, clock, prec/pene, any other tech
