Pikeman Archive

Im only at novice, and I always hear how the LVA is so great. But what about the lance? Sure.. the armor rating is light not medium. And the damage is a wee bit lacking compared, but mine only has -32 to hit, and the LVA is -55. That seems to be a signifigant difference to me.

I havent really been able to test it out too much in combat, but with polearm hit2 I hit for 1500 pretty easily(with a 4.2speed 96-356 lance). Can someone tell me why LVA is just that much better? heh.

p.s. partially my attachment to the lance might be the fact that im a rodian, which nearly negates the ungodly huge action costs..

Well, the axe does do more damage more often, but not always. Lance is nice because it does electrical damage, and MoBs with that vulnerability will suffer when wielding the Vibro Lance but really it depends on the other resists too. I found some Mobs being 15% resistant to Kenetic damage but Vulnerable to electrical. The Axe still out damaged the Lance. 15% wasn't enough to out weigh basically. Then against a MoB with 50% kenetic resistance but more open to electrical, the Lance performs better.

when i play i carry 3 weapons my Lance a VL and a LVA... majority of my fighting now i use my LVA (3.9 460) because it deals medium pierce and it helps alot but when i get a kinetic resist i use my VL (3.5 389)because of the electricity damage BUT i use my LANCE (2.8270)alotalso so i don't hog all the xp since i don't need pole xp anymore

It's all about the Doctor buffs! Befriend a Master Doctor, get some Muon Gold, and you will seriously 0wn on advanced planets.

*cough* my best friend is a smuggler, i get crates of muon gold for free.. muhahahaha.. and well, im pretty sure i have the doc part taken care of..

Like thay all say, depending on the resist of the monster.

I find that my Vibro lance does a nice job against Squills, Ronto's and arachne warriors
