The strategy of the lancers is to outrange and fluster opponents with their long, two–handed polearms, peppering them with a barrage of thrusting attacks. They are trained with a number of weapons, giving a diversity to their attacks that makes them extremely versatile combatants.
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. Since then, the guild has greatly expanded its armories to include a variety of weaponry, such as the throwing javelin.
Below is a list of abilities for the Lancer class up to level 50. To allow the table to fit on the page easier we have shortened some of the table headers. Cast and Recast refer to a time in seconds, while TP refers to the number of TP required to execute that action. If anything is listed as 0, that means there is no cast/recast time or TP cost.
