Clarification please ...
"+0.25% per point of your attack, defense, damage and armor stats are transferred to your health at the start of combat.P"
Does that literally TRANSFER points from ATT/DEF/DAM/ARM in which case, as a hunting buff, I see little use for it, or is that another Hoofism, where what it really means is that it will make those %age calculations, and simply add the resulting figure onto your HP, leaving your other stats unchanged ?
The stats are Transferred from ATT/DEF/DAM/ARM, to HP.
It's not Really a hunting buff per say, but with Chi Strike you can actually end up with more damage than before SC 
OK, thanks for that - so, it's just a case of getting the combination right 
I doubt there is a decent leveling combo that gets even close to the "right" combination.
If you have a lot of attack, defense, armor and/or HP compared to damage then SC + CS can give you more damage than what you started with. But I doubt many levelers will use a setup with such amounts of attack/defense/armor.
As an example, if my setup has 10k attack, 10k defense and 4k damage then SC175 will change it to 5625 attack, 5625 defense, 2250 damage and 10500 HP. CS will add 17.5% of 10500 HP to your 2250 damage and turn it into 4088 damage.
The starting stats here are 16.67% damage and 83.33% other stats. If you had more damage compared to your other stats then you'd have ended up with less damage that what you started with.
Most hunting setups have something around 10% attack, 15% defense and 75% damage (or even more damage if you go suicide instead of defense to keep oneself safe).
If we take those numbers into an example we'll get this:
1000 attack, 1500 defense and 7500 damage will change from SC175 into 563 attack, 844 defense, 4219 damage and 4375 HP. CS175 will then raise the damage to 4985 damage.... :?
Maybe I missed some buffs (Fortitude perhaps?) that will have some effect on these examples, but I doubt the effects are that high that it will turn SC+CS into a decent leveling buff combo.
It's a nice PvP buff though. 8)
