There is way more subtlety to the hammer than the long sword and that’s the point. When you are less subtle than the “unga bunga” weapon you have some serious issues.

[@samstone1445]

@@OtioseFanatic I would actually disagree. Longsword has ease of play but a very high skill ceiling. Hammer does as well, but at the skill ceiling feels much lower. Longsword has a lot of different skills to react to specific different moments of time, which makes them more versatile but also more complicated; weapon sheathes, iajutsu, counters, etc. The Hammer has very little complexity by comparison. And I'm saying this as someone who mained Hammer way longer than Longsword. There are a lot of reasons folks get annoyed with Longsword users, but "simplicity" doesn't feel like it should be one of them.

[@vincentpey3929]

The thing is Hammer has weaknesses youll need to play arround Longsword is simply an automatic win at this point, they made it so obscenely strong that it just takes the fun out of the game if you hunt with a longsword main in the group that and trips are nasty especially in older games (nowadays you just gotta slot in flinch free and limit your build a bit so you are able to play the fucking game) Tbh if a longsword player joins my hunting group they get kicked out imidiatly i just dont wanna deal with that broken bullshit

[@OtioseFanatic]

@@samstone1445 Lol. No, it doesnt. Gimmicks do not equal higher skill celing. In fact it often means a much lower one. Hammer users have to deal with a slowwer than average movement speed, a slow weapon that has a ridiculously low reach while dealing blunt damage meaning that they NEED to hang around the face of the monster (99% of the time the most dangerous part) to reamain effective all while having no guard or counter move, no built in flinch free, having the slowest dodge in the game with poor I-frames while also having to manage charge levels like a greatsword user because each level of charge completely changes your moveset WHILE KEEPING IN MIND that your charge moves drain stamina AS DOES YOUR DODGING meaning that if you do one you drain your potential to do the other and deal with all of that while not gettng carted over and over. Proper hammer use is less a skill celing and more of a skill Mt Everest. No celing in sight, only higher and higher climbs and people have died trying to get there. Meanwhile LS users have a faster movement speed, faster dodge with better frames, counter moves that can negate monster attacks while attacking back, all of their gimmicks run off of their own meter so doing most of your flashy moves will still leave you with stamina to duck out when you cock things up, built in flinch free, a frankly silly range with AoE and delayed damage moves, and their weapon does slashing damage so they can chill near the (relatively) safer ass of the monster and still remain effective (and thanks to that range AND speed actually can cut tails easier than any other weapon type). You can literally roll your face on your controller and be effective with LS. I know this from experience because i have actually done it to proove a point. I cut the tail and i didnt even fucking cart. The LS doesnt have a skill celing. it hs a skill crawlspace with some fancy gimmick moves.

[@samstone1445]

​ @KoboldCantations Hoo boy, I think we're way too far apart here to find even a slight middle ground. Again, I've played a lot of Hammer, and while I love the weapon, I honestly think it's one of the easiest weapons out there. It was my first main weapon back in Tri, so I'm speaking as someone with hundreds of hours of just Hammer across the various games. Stamina management is not difficult in Rise. Being near the head is not significantly more difficult than being behind; heck, it's arguably harder on some monsters. The things you mention for Longsword (aside from built in Flinch Free and counters) apply to pretty much every bladed weapon. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that Hammer isn't fun, or good, or requires skill to play well. I'm also not saying that LS isn't a very strong weapon in Rise. But claiming that LS is just the easy mode zero skill weapon, especially in relation to relatively simple Hammer, is just ridiculous to me.

@@gosucab944 hammer bros know of the existence of any monster parts apart of the head... really?

[@gosucab944]

@@TgfkaTrichter it makes the discussion easier on why nobody is on the tail. If they don't want me there, I don't want them tripping me at the head.

I mean, ditto. I always make sure to go for the tail first. It keeps you from flinching teammates, and provides a valuable drop for people that are farming. Anyone that's complaining they can't do full DPS while helping their team in the longrun needs to realize one simple thing... **You're not a speedrunner.** If you were, you would be hunting the Hub quests solo or have your own group to roll with. At that point, you can coordinate strategies. And EVEN THEN, most of the super tier players I know LOVE helping new players. So yeah. Just cut the tail, guys. Fun aside, I actually started mastering every weapon this time around, because I wanted to avoid tripping in Low Rank before people could get decorations.

HuntingHorn is literally just the hammer but better. Like imagine a hammer that isnt slow as hell, doestn flinch, and heals the party/applies buffs

@@savannahs.5874 look at the speedrun times buddy hammer outclasses the loot on every monster in both rise and world i think you just have skill issue and need to use the gutted braindead hunting horn in rise

[@savannahs.5874]

@@inarosthedad3565 damn someone is butthurt. Also your logic makes no sense you're describing the hammer as if it's broken and needs to be nerfed but then say you don't need skill for the hunting horn lol.
