Would it be worth going for this with 2 piece Velk rather than 4 piece Silver Los since the difference isn't much and you get much better flexibility?

Dumb question - Can you stack this effect? Both Rathalos sets have it, and so does the Azure Star(?), so can you get two tiers of it via a mixed set? I doubt you can but that would be pretty neat
Yes and No, because Status and Element are different things, but if you have skills/weapons that somehow allow you to do both, it will work to allow the effects to both crit separately. However, I don't think there is a way to be doing both types of damage since it's based off of your weapon.
Do Critical Boost decos stack with this skill? If I had 3/3 "critical" decos which puts my (crit damage at 140%), will this stack ont op of Critical Element damage to increase critical damage even further?

If I have three armor pieces of the Zorah and two of azure rath does the effect stack?
Kinda bogus that they decided to restrict this skill to 3 armor sets, rathalos only gets it for low and high rank, then it gets shoehorned to velkana which most people rarely get the armor for. I liked it when it was on charms and decorations so you could min-max with a lot of hard work through hard heavy duty raw and elemental crits.
