Maybe they could counterbalance that by making virus weapons have extremely high raw damage, sharpness and affinity. So the virus would just be mean to balance the weapon out. Kinda like negative affinity on other weapons. It would be interesting to say the least, giving a risk/reward vibe to the hunt.
