Alright, second question in a row on this forum. I have lots of questions. xD

Ever since my first Monster Hunter game, Monster Hunter Tri for the Wii, I have never been able to pick which weapon I want to use. All of them are just so cool and unique and they all have their own special abilities. I can't decide what I like the most. I think i've mostly used the Lance and Gunlance, along with Hammer the most. I really like a very defensive playstyle, so the Lance has always ben high up on the ones I like. And throughout 3 ultimate, I used the barroth gunlance for I think half of the game. And I also remember in Tri I got stuck on barroth and used the peco Flint to get past it and loved it. The Hammer is offensive, but you have to dodge and evade a lot and only get a few hits in, which is interesting. I like a mix of offense and defense, but focused more on defense. Gunning is fun as well. It's very unique, and extremely different from using a blade. Not really sure about hunting horn, it's a bit weird. Sword and Shield is fun sometimes, really like the X+A ledge jump and using items with it sheathed. Dual Blades not really my thing. Greatsword is very weird. I like it though, it's an interesting playstyle, and reminds me of hammer. And it can block like a gunlance, so that's also really cool. Don't like charge blade. Just don't. Insect glaive is fun to pole vault and send insect out, but the actual attacks are kind of boring.

I guess the highest contenders are:

Lance, Gunlance, Hammer, Greatsword, Longsword (can someone tell me about this, and evade slash or whatever it's called?), Sword and Shield, and I don't really know anything about switch axe. Dual blades and charge blade are off because I don't like them, and insect glaive i'm really not sure. Hunting Horn I could see myself using only in a group.

Thanks for your time, and sorry if this is a dumb question! (I'm really not good at choosing things...)
