Yep, I've mained DB in Rise.
Love it!
Got started using the Felyne Paws which had some super buff which I think meant you did crits pretty much permanenrtly. It got nerfed in Sunbreak, but by then I was well into DB.
Done some lance, hammer and LBG but in the endgame I've found that DB is working best for me.

I've not played for a couple of months. I took a break with some Hitman and I'm on my second playthrough of BG3, but the MH itch will come back.
I've nearly got the plat for Rise. Just those f*cking RNG pendants are holding me back.
The ONE SINGLE improvement I would make to the series is to remove the RNG related trophies. They don't reflect on player skill or even really commitment when you also have things like 'Slay 1000 monsters' in there.

Count me in!

The weapons I've never really tried are:
Gunlance, Charge blade, Greatsword, HBG

Tried a bit:
Switch Axe, Bow, Insect Glaive, SnS, Hunting Horn, Hammer

Tried to main but couldn't master:
Longsword

Mained:
LBG (sticky quick reload in World - awesome)
Lance
Dual Blades

Did I miss anything?

Is it confirmed that Wilds will let you equip two weapons and switch between them on the fly?

I think I saw this rumoured somewhere, but I didn't know it was official.

Well, not exactly on the fly - you can store one on your bird friend and then switch between them once you mount it. So you can’t do it during combat.

Still, sounds rad as hell.

I guess it just makes it a bit quicker than trotting back to camp to switch your gear.

Not like the old days, eh lads! Where you had to quit the quest when you realised you'd come with the wrong build.

Bow time. Jump dodge looks great, reminds me of Wild Hearts a lot actually.

HOMING ARROWS??

Ok I’m in. SnS for up close. Bow for when it gets too scary.

Lance is cool and all but....it's not a GUNlance you know?
