HR 141, been using longsword aerial style the whole game, but I'm beginning to feel like it just won't cut it anymore. Feels like I'm constantly trying to sneak one or two hits in, while the ranged weapons can space and constantly bombard enemies safely, dual blades users are quick enough to keep up with monsters like rajang and agile enough to maintain pressure on monsters that aggro with twisty movements like brachy or to get plenty of stop and go hits in on monsters like akantor, ukanlos, or G deviants. There's also gunlance which can tank and poke while ranged weapons deal the heavy damage, and blast away at monsters at opportune moments (toppling, etc).
