[quote=Lucius Cypher]
I did a stint with Gunlances for a while, but I find that I'm too reliant on my shield. I like being defensive, really, but I also like something that gave me a good amount of speed. And getting Speed+Defense doesn't seem to be a common thing, I had to settle for just speed and power. I'm actually hoping that the Charge Axe gets me that good mix of mobility with tanking ability that I've been hungering for.

Go to YouTubes and look for Icemannoob's tutorial on the Charge Axe. Very informative and insightful on how the new weapon operates. Plus, if you watch it, you'll get an idea of how Kuhaku fights. xD;
