Amen to that. I main GS and CB, and while I can get close to my Greatsword damage numbers with it, it's so much more difficult to use. That's not to say Greatsword is simple, though. It's just that if I don't know a monster, Charge blade is the safer weapon.

[@mystirboy]

Love Insect Glaive, a lot of people are saying because of "style" and "masters of air" but I simply enjoy IG for the sheer utility of being able to easily do mounts but the real prize are the nectar buffs. You deal higher damage with red, you have higher mobility than other light weapons when white nectar buff is up plus the extra nock back resistance with orange is very useful. The other bonus is that if you're good at targeting you can actually use your kinsect to do knockout damage. The IG is such a powerful well rounded weapon if people will properly use all it's features.

[@welwitschia]

Sure, but you know that we IG users just do it to fly around the map and jump like we had firecrackers in our panties.

[@nate51691]

I mained IG back in 4U, and for my first go-around in world (took a break from it in gen for SnS and CB), and it's definitely a fun weapon with even more potential in world, though I do want to say that, oddly enough, I've had more success mounting monsters using the lance (one of my three "main" weapons on pc) than I did with insect glaive (and while I tried to split my time with IG in the air and on the ground to get more dps while still maintaining mobility and safety/not knocking teammates around, I still was doing way more aerial attacks.

At heart, I'm a bow player, picked it up early on, been playing it since my induction to the series in 3U, and it's my old reliable. I love my bow. BUT. It's hammer time, baby. Mobility coming from the dash of a lv 1 charge and rolls, the ability to floor a monster by playing aggressively, able to pull off high bursts of damage, the description of a gambler fits me perfectly. I will take risks and even unneeded damage just to get that headshot to preserve my KO value, and I'm the kind of guy who looks at a 1% drop rate on something in MH, nods, and says, "I can get that in a few attempts."

I main HH, and have gunlance in the backburner, can say they really upped their game with HH. I like that I can store 3 songs on my HH and playing the music actually does damage. Can't say I am a huge fan of the slowness of the attack animations but I can say they didn't disappoint me with the new way of playing songs for buffs/possible damage, such as the sonic waves song that certain HH have. The only problem I can ever say with HH is that the sharpness goes down waaaay too quickly. In fact I found it hard to actually kill monsters with the low rank stuff just because my attacks kept bouncing after the sharpness was gone after 6 hits. And I've mained HH since Freedom. So no, it's definitely not me.

[@extrachromosome7114]

My main is shock trap. I like long sword as a secondary though.

[@BaileySilverpaw]

Im an Insect Glaive user. This actually didn’t really describe my reasons for choosing that weapon. Its simple actually. The glaive, while it can’t quite compete with the flurry of the dual blades with attack speed, or the incredible brutality and strength of the great sword, it in itself is a very versatile weapon. It’s perfect for players who enjoy a balance of speed, range, mobility, and the flurry style of attack; a huge bonus with a healing build for those who struggle to find a chance to safely drink a potion, or those who just get a thrill of leaping right over the charging monster before slamming down upon them.

Also remember, sword and shield is the best weapon in the game. All who use it are geniuses and should be regarded as gods. Using it proves you are a capable warrior who has toppled giants, and all the greatest heroes cower at your feet. Most people gazing upon a sword and shield user have their eyes melt out of their heads from pure amazement. All monsters who face a sword and shield hunter are actually cowering, and only fight for the futile chance of surviving because running away would be useless. If you find a sword and shield hunter, ignoring your lack of eyes, you must follow them to greatness.

I am a light bowgun main. You can stack wyvernblast after wyvernblast and have the monster attack the wyvernblast landmines.

Charge blade is the best! Red fully charged shield and sword is godly. And it’s super easy to get the phials with certain combos and guard points. So you always have best defense and offense. Just time your attacks right since you don’t want to waste your phials and evade/block or guard point at right times. And don’t stay at axe mode for long since you gotta charge those phials and then unleash the axe.

I think a few weapons need some sentences added: S & S: "You don't want to specialize, you want the whole package. You go into a quest to actually get the quest done efficiently. Style, breaking parts and damage numbers are nice and all, but the quest itself matters more." Longsword: "To you, the most important thing is to keep hitting the monster where it hurts, nonstop, by dodging it with fluent attacks. Everything that can be broken or severed must be broken or severed." Lance: "You don't want to dodge all the time, you just want to be able to block and counter. You have a lot of patience. You like it when you can just wait for the monster to come and try to hit you, instead of you having to jump, run and roll after it all the time."
