1. Yeah! It would make sense that Hunters would find ways to execute special attacks after using the weapons over time.

2. Yes. Most seemed relatively balanced in regard to the build-up time and their power.

3. I owuldn't mind if they stayed.

4. For Gunlance, its usually Striker Style with Blast Dash, Dragon Blast, and Dragon Breath. But for Charge Axe (When i'm not screwing around with a Gunlance, basically when i'm serious) Its Guild Style, Energy Blade, and Limit Breaker.

5. Blast Dash is my absolute favorite, only because its so simple. Instead of facing forward with the lance and bracing, the hunter swings it behind them and just lets the blast and recoil propel them forward. And at level 3, that overhead slash combo-d with the low buildup time basically makes you a Striker/Aerial Gunlancer.

6. Don't honestly have one, they all have their uses.

7. I do. Each weapon gets some really cool Hunter Arts. Since we can and have hunted without them, there's really no room to complain in myh opinion.

8. Not really, but I hope they all get a few more.

9. I did not know that.

10. A Melee Hunter Art called "Stand your Ground" that lets the Hunter take advantage of their sturdy armor to withstand the charge of one monster and grapple it to the ground. It sounds far-fetched until you realize all of the other crazy inhuman stuff Hunters do.

Next would be for the Greatsword called "Bell ringer" and would be a charged, downward strike using the broad, flat part of the blade, dealing very high KO damage.

The final would be for the Switch Ax, my first and probably all-time favorite weapon. This would be called "Switch Ax Shuriken" and would involve the hunter jamming the weapon between sword and ax mode with a piece of metal,  which also jams the phial open. The hunter would spin the weapon at high speeds and then throw it at the monster, then yank the weapon back with a piece of wire. The animation would be insanely long, but with a full phial the damage would be high. But only if you hit your mark.

11. Dunno, i forgot all of the new ones because the game still has no localization news and i'm losing hope.

12. Probably a bad thing, as it would drastically cut down customization.

13. Yes it would. Please don't do that.
