Oldies but Goldies

Having reached G-Rank, I've been taking my time and trying to fill out some early G sets and upgrade weapons where I can on my own with early G1 monsters (B. Tetsu / Hermitaur). Mostly been using Charge Blade with sprinkles of bow here and there.

I don't know what had sparked the fire, but I somehow became inspired to pick up my old MH3U flame - Greatsword. I crafted Chrome Hell and Exemplar Blade, and took them for a spin. Hunts are fast and satisfying in ways I had forgotten. Every hit is a earth cleaving strike, and the new additional charge attack adds so much risk/reward. It's like I've been driving a new modern sports car and then I hop into a classic muscle car. Both exhilarating in different ways.

Hunters, are there weapons that used to be favorites that you shelved for reasons, but find renewed love by coming back?
