[edit] Weapon TraitsSwords have some of the lowest average damage levels indeed, but it is extremely capable at variety of other aspects, such as inflicting status ailments.
[edit] Changes from MH1 to MH2 and then MH3Back in the original monster hunter, the Sword and Shield weapon type was generally weak; it bounced more then any other weapon and the attack was so weak that every Wyvern would be a decent challenge. However, in and after MH2, the SnS was changed: not only does the sharpness last longer but you can also use items while it's drawn. The SnS is largely regarded as the most balanced weapon in the game. It can cut through the sturdy Gravios skin with only green Sharpness only and rarely ever bounced off of any monster's shell. It also gained a new attack: by pressing "R," you can perform the second strike from the leap combo. SnS have gained a sheer increase of raw power and elemental power in mh2, the eternal strife is a good example. In MH1 it had like 89 attack, while in MH2 it has 167 attack with 520 dragon element. In Monster hunter 3, so far only one new change can be identified; the hunter can bash the monster with his or her shield, to perform an impact damage attack.
