People wanting a support class. Why?

[JunseiKei]

Then I play games like Monster Hunter and see very few people actually role the Hunting Horn. The support job of that game. I always feel like it's one of those things where it's something people think they want but won't actually enjoy it when they get it; because it won't turn out to be their vision of it.

HH also follows quite a bit of the same logic as a hammer - needs very good understanding of how the monster will turn, keeping track of stagger thresholds and positioning needs to be on point. Then add in the requirement of knowing when you have enough recovery for playing songs in between attacks and not getting smacked in the face. The fact that a lot of HH users I do see are well away from the monster and dooting means they don't have a very firm grasp of the weapon to actually play it well. Like watching a charge blader never use guard points, dual swords never use demon dance, insect glaives that seem to want to stay in the air, bows that don't understand critical range, etc, etc, etc. They're effectively the healer that only heals and never touches a damage spell even as they stand there for a few GCDs. They'll mostly suffice, outside of ultimates and savages, but that doesn't mean they're good.

Someone who actually plays HH is like having someone that actually plays hammer - they stand out and make runs super smooth and fast with the sheer amount of staggers and buffs.
