I swap round different classes depending on what I'm fighting, what my goal is (cutting tails, breaking horns, etc), and who I'm playing with. If I'm using an set with Earplug or Wind Res, then I normally forgo blocking abilities in favor of faster, higher damage. So hammers and tachis are my thing. I'm honestly not liking the Switch Axe. It feels too cumbersome and slow. Not to mention it's easy to get locked in a combo attack if you're not paying attention - which'll prevent you from dodging.
Once I make a medic set, I'll rock an SnS with it on every quest.
