I don't know why everyone in gamefaq is screaming that the Insect staff 's jumping attack is broken.

As a staff 's user, i find the staff is a bit annoying to use ,  not much wide sweep and shorter range than LS , and completely no anti-wind to reliable ESP attack , plus if you go solo , you can only pull around 3-4 successfully strike and mount the monster as their resistance to jumping attack goes up. However, when the time come , the staff user can save the life of the hunting team by mounting the monster and occupy it for a while.

There is nothing broken here, if there is one , i would say that would be the charge axe , the combination of Great sword and switch axe , easily dish out ton of damage.
