User blog comment:BurnZ/Monster Hunter - Dual Swords or Long Sword in MHP3 or MH3?/@comment-757516-20100506160818

I'd like to make a point that while Dual Swords is a popular weapon I find it the most useless. Here's why, every weapon has a niche persay. For instance heavy damage with defense? GS. mobility with heavy damage? Hammer. This is where the LS and DS clash, they both serve the same purpose. They both are fast attacks with mobility (think like DPS). While dual elements are nice with a DS they lack in sharpness and attack power. This is why I believe that DS didn't make it into tri. Too redundant. Although I'm still trying to figure out the switch axe, decent damage combined with elemental power???
