And honestly it's probably fine for GS, Hammer, and other "simpler" weapons. But when you get into Switch Axe, Charge Blade, Gun Lance, or Hunting Horn where they've got a bunch of other factors on top of damage, affinity, and sharpness, it gets harder to find a weapon that hits enough sweet spots. With Greatsword you can go "Ah, here's the weapon I want and it does fire damage like I need. Ah, but the skills suck. But here's another fire greatsword that has great skills, affinity sucks on it but I can work around that" With HH it's finding a HH with fire and the buffs you want *and* has good skills on it, which is harder to do by virtue of variables.
At least until I get deeper in the game (only around 50 hours myself) where I can deco myself out of the problem I'm forced to choose between weapons I'm meh on but have the skills I want for my build or the weapons I do want that have garbage skills that I'll never use and struggle more with hunting because of it.
For real, I don't really use the more complicated weapons but this situation must be hell for them. Really makes me want to stick to GS for the entire lifespan of the game lol (I swear I'll use other weapons but for now I can't leave GS behind ;--;)
Idk in my experience the Rarity 8 CBs and SwAx still have enough slots to put in whatever skills you might want. Though I personally don't care about making a high-end build atm since there's nothing worthwhile to fight with it
