@WolfQueen I'm not a lance pro, but i think i know more than "a shit" about them. First, I was speaking about Tri, where the number of weapons is low. Second, MOST of EVERY kind of weapons "suck".Just some of them are totally useful on Tri, when you reach a certain level, nobody tries to hunt a hig rank monster with a low rank weapon (except when begins the Hi Rank) Lances like Barioth, Alatreon, and some abnormal stat work very good. But the rest of them look not very strong. I'm sure that there is a lot more useful lances in other games, but not for Tri (in my opinion)

@Hunter Neisan I know, but they also have lances and gunlances, or hammers and hunting horn. The bases of these weapons are similar, the point is add significant changes. Anyway, i think that dual bowguns can be an interesting weapon for long range hunters, and that chain weapon you mentioned can be very cool. Or, a whip :D
