One of the biggest factors in my not using DS's despite being ridiculous amounts of fun (especially demon mode evading) is the weakspot of monsters cutting and elemental damage generally being higher off the ground than the swords can reach - Especially in High Rank quests where monsters are generally larger, so while it would seem really fun to DS against a diablos I would be too frustrating being incapable of hitting its belly as often as i would need to, and if I have so little opportunity to attack the spots I need im better off with a higher powered weapons imo

DS is fun against monsters I can keep close to and hit weaker spots, annoys the living sin out of me against flyers and diggers
