1. I can never seem to master the damn thing, so I'm not a big fan of it.

2. Wyvern's Fire penetrates armor like no other. Quite useful against monsters with tough hides such as the Fatalis trio when undergoing armour mode.

3. Not really. Sure, it's got more power and range overall, but the Lance has better mobility and defenses, so it all depends on playstyle, really.

4. The 4U incarnation was pretty effective at getting the job done, even though I still haven't mastered it.

5. Haven't played MHF2, but that game's incarnation of it seems pretty weak compared to the others from what I've seen.

6. I've always been a solo player, so I can't say for sure. From what I've heard, it seems pretty irritating.

7. What Hellfire King Char said below.

8. I would give Gunlances the ability to change its shelling type and/or allow it to use bullets that aren't Fire-elemental so elemental Gunlances can be a thing. I might also consider giving them the ability to rocket jump for extra mobility and fire over long distances with the cost of lower power and/or increased cooldown (don't want the Bowguns to become obsolete, do we?)

9. N/A

10. N/A

11. I might start using it just to see if it lives up to the hype or not.

12. Same as 11.
