I have a question, I understand that weapon strike cause charges to go off on weapons...so, do people typically equip the weapon just to use a charge and then re-equip a differant weapon. I just dont see how the weapons would be effective if you wasted all the charges in one fight. Pretty much I am just asking how people go about using them the easiest and most effective way.

Well for a weapon like dragon's breath, I'd imagine that you would want as many fireballs hitting your opponent as possible so why un-equip it?

[Deadiam]

I would think these should be a bit more situational then equip and waste all the charges at once.
