^ Aerial bow is, IMO, as legit as Adept Bow. Same for Striker IG/Horn, Adept GS, Aerial LS/Lance. Sure some styles are really popular because they have a thing or two that makes them insanely good, leading people to think other styles on a weapon aren't worth it, but i honestly think those people are wrong. Other styles demand further investment from player, but can get as good as anything else. Like i said, Striker IG had me play the weapon like i do with Guild Hammer, reasoning-wise. It's not that styles are bad, it's that people don't understand what is needed to make it work.
