I had a bear with
6 rage
6 iron blood
3 stomp
1 SMS
All I had to do was buff stomp to SMS if stomp stunned go in for kill and if it didn't withdraw till it came back.
All u need is:
Lvl 17 your forgotten bow
Lvl 5 or 15 experts (jewel theifs leather is better IMO)
Snipers avian helm
Critical ring
U will win 95% of fights yes even vs entertaining or kawakasaki too
