Lore

"The lancer is a master of polearms—weapons which have evolved from humble hunting tools. In former times, the longspear saw the most widespread use, due in great part to the influence of the proud lancer legions of Ala Mhigo. The lancer's weaponry has since expanded to include other lethal implements such as the halberd and trident.
While it is no easy task to wield a polearm as if it were an extension of one's body, those who master the lancing arts come to be as a raging storm before their enemies, capable of delivering a barrage of devastating thrusts and slashes." — Game Description

General Information

Play Style

Lancer is a melee physical damage dealing class specialized in single target DPS. The most important stat for lancer is strength, which increases attack power. Lancers utilize positioning and combinations to maximize their damage. They inflict piercing damage, allowing them to take advantage of their own Disembowel effect and giving them some synergy with ranged physical classes. They can wear heavier armor than any other non-tanking class, making them fairly sturdy against physical attacks.
