User blog comment:Lord Loss/Discussion of the Week: Sword and Shields/@comment-4674269-20120512133639

I remeber in an early Tri article I thought the Hydra Knife was coolest looking weapon ever (Boy was I noob back then). Personal I prefer to ditch the shield for Dual blades because I'm more of an all out assult kind of hunter (Still can't beat my SA). I still enjoy using the SNS once in a while, mostly for arena quests. For my favorite SNS I have to go with Blood Tapor because of the design and that mission where alot of my team had Shadow Sabers while I had a hulking posion battle axe all because I never upgraded my Ludroth Nail until high rank.
