Until this morning's patch, gunlance actually could infinite down/focus attack combo any monster with max of both Flayer and Part Breaker.

What does Gunlance do with wounds? I've seen people putting it in F-tier.

I know longsword is in F because it consumes all wounds, robbing other weapons of their utilities in co-op (like kinsect recharge or horn rebuffing party for free).

It just does a lot of damage, but you can aim it easily and hit multiple wounds. It also takes up a lengthy amount of time so the monster is "stunned" for longer while the attack animation is playing out.

IMO wound tier lists are kinda w/e because certain weapons need to "use" wounds more than others, but people are also forgetting 90% of the time it's better to pop the wound asap for the damage to build up another wound on the part later (or in the case of [story spoilers] guardian monsters that can regenerate woulds you might not get the chance later)
