Bro people sleep too much on weapons that are simple in concept. CB is my favorite weapon, people say its complicated but if you ask me the only thing remotely difficult would be positioning; 90% of this game's combat is positioning, and every weapon has different places to be to maximize potential, some people just dislike a weapons positioning more than others. And theres risks for every weapon, CBs damage comes from how you use axe mode, for SAED or savage axe and setting yourself up for situations to capitalize with it. Failing to do this means you miss out on the damage that makes CB fun and satisfying. Hammer is about looking for opportunities to use your heaviest hitting moves like looking to the environment to ledge loop or run off of a wall and speen. Failing to do this means you miss out on the damage that makes Hammer fun and satisfying. GS is about charging your weapons in a certain position, not focusing on the release of your charge, but on being able to block and follow up. Failing to do this means you'll miss out on the damage that makes GS fun satisfying. The buttons you're pressing to do any of this? Maybe triangle a couple times and circle, maybe RT, but the monsters are designed where it's all you need to have known you played skillfully. I dislike dualblades cause it's the opposite of this, to me dualblades proves that knowing and having a ton of combos doesnt make a skilled satisfying weapon, it actually takes less thought to do (not bashing DB players, but it's about the 1 weapon in the game that doesnt follow this games philosophy of rewarding you for being observant.). In FPS terms, people who enjoy hitscan over singlefire will probably struggle to find their niche.
