im not sure which weapon to start with/master
bow
IG
charge blade
idk if i am a fan of the charge blade 2h but it seems cool overall
IG looks pretty awesome but everyone says its confusing as fuck and i have no idea what about anything in this game
and i am a bow fanboy, usually like all bow classes in games. but is it good dmg? do people want bow hunters online?
cb would be the easiest to start with probably
bow is pretty skill dependent (I can't imagine using it without a minimum of focus + marathon runner/stamina recovery+, and skills like peak performance/spread+ vastly improve its dps)... also bows lacking power shot/coatings are pretty underwhelming
ig shines more late game when you max out the kinsect with speed/effect extender; as a starter weapon you will have to deal with slow casting speed and will be pressured more to keep buffs up, but it is still pretty solid
cb is fairly balanced right from the beginning and doesn't really evolve a whole lot, it just gets better as skills such as artillery, guard, sharp+1 etc. become available... learning to effectively use guard points and general combo execution is what you really need to be concerned with early on
