I freaking loved lances in Tri, and they're still ok in Portable 3rd. Now, I don't agree that they don't do much damage, I usually brought things down faster than with any other weapon! And I personally think the GS are better for blocking (drawguard is such a lifesaver) and I've never really focussed on blocking with Lances, just staying out of the way and stabbing as fast as I can when the monster's recoiling
