dude, negative affintiy is NO reason to say a weapon sucks, Barroth has some awesome weapons: the lance reaches high attack and blue sharpness at LOW rank, the GS has some pretty good atk and is great with art of unsheating, most barroth weapons upgrade into awesome diablos weapons, and negatie affinity only balances high attack power.

Ever ask an experienced player, especially in MHFU, and in tri sometimes too, some of the best weapons have negative affinity, but great sharpness and attack power to compensate that
