User blog comment:Lord Loss/Discussion of the Week: Sword and Shields/@comment-173.189.140.215-20120513160636

Sword and Shields (S+S) are, in my opinion, the best weapon choice for beginning hunters because it can easily allow noobs the learn how to chain attacks and then to apply that to other weapons( GS, Lances, etc.) However, once you get past the noob stage S+S begin to lose their appeal. Eventually, I fell for lance and it's still my favorite weapon. Those of you who can still find using a S+S fun I congratulate you.

If I had to pick my favorite S+S out of them all, I believe that I would have to pick the Jhen Kodachi, because it has the highest green level of ANY weapon from Tri and it has a cool design. I don't actually use it though.
