What is your main/main rotation for weapons?
Any particular reason or story to it?

When I play alone I use Dual Blades, but in a group I play gunlance. I think Dual Blades are stupid fun. It feels like playing a beat em up game like marvel alliance. And most of the weapons are fun to look at.
Yeah, DBs are the button mash weapon, sort of always have been. But gogdamn if that spine pinwheel isn't fun as hell. And spin to win into the face in RiseBreak seems fun too.
Gen 1/2 dual blades were precision weapons, surprisingly. You were rooted to the spot and locked into animations a lot more than in later games, without the benefit of constant stunlocking like you'd get with GS or hammer. You often couldn't reach weakpoints either, so they were all about carefully chipping at the feet to get trips and then going ham for a few seconds after they topple. Very fun weapons, but mashing would get you killed quickly.
True. I did use them a bit in MHFU and recall the longer animation locks you mention. I guess the input just never felt precise to me even if the weapon needed to be used in such a way.
