I've never seen a good evaluation of the defense stat, but that's the one most likely to suffer when not using the signature weapon it seems. In the example above, defense drops from 18k to 11k. I know high health can make up for that to some extent, but I don't know enough about the relationship to fully recognize the trade-off.
