@sc94597, thanks for defensive to offense tip.  I am more aggressive than I should be while playing the game (barely started).  I blame it on thinking I can somehow roll out / dodge attacks than block/then attack.  I obviously need to rethink my strategy because I have been getting hit too often at beginning levels (I attack then roll and that is probably a not very good strategy (sure I try to block but some reason I have aggressive style of play due to other games I have played in past)).  I think I am going to try sword and shield combination cause I don't like the slowness of great sword, etc...  I need to find a weapon that I am more comfortable with using.  I am also thinking about switching mainly to bowgun also since I played hunter in WoW (and similar class in PSO).   Anyways, thanks for the tip and obviously I should read this thread front to back.  I was given the monster hunter wiki site yet I really not sure how to utilize it yet (considering I am just trying to grasp basic gameplay first then worry about combination / items next).

It's a fine strategy, the only issue is that certain combos commit you for longer periods of time than are healthy. When in doubt, just get in one hit (in severe doubt, just don't even try). Many of them don't present real opportunities to whale on them.
