User blog comment:Lord Loss/Discussion of the Week: Greatswords/@comment-2049092-20120416023132

Greatswords really got the backhand in Tri. If the game was land only(I'd hate to see that) then you could say that the timing of the charges was really just a cost to expand the ever so shallow movepool of the Greatsword. However,when adding underwater to the mix, Greatswords get completely washed out. First off, depth perception really got screwy in underwater (for me at least(3d might help, but maybe not), and second, the y axis in movement is much more prominent underwater than above water (that includes every monster, except Rathalos who always loves to fly lol.) So a well timed attack that would've hit Lagiacrus really well turns into a miss when he tries to go for another player who is not on the same lateral level as you are.That's even if he's just barely above or below you. Greatswords are great weapons in Tri, but you need to diversify your weapon use whenever you go under the sea (if you can use a Greatsword underwater well, including in multiplayer,then you are a great Greatswordsmen.)

Hey Lord Loss- Instead of having topics like they were in MAD, why don't you rotate the topics (like have a weapon class as a discussion for one week, then go to a different topic, and then go back to a weapon class.) It'd keep the discussions fresher.
