Ok theres 40 lenght difference. The point is how the hell i can do my job on the battlefield when theres a great lance user charging directly to me


Suggestion: You can make it shorter or you can remove it from game. If not pikeman is a useless class.

Thank you for reading...

You are basically really bad if someone with a great lance couches you in a head on charge and you can't stop him with a long spear.

Your options are:

Get a pike (it actually costs less).
or
Time your attack better.


The long spear has a length of 245 and you can thrust with it, you can only couch with the great lance. But you can't defeat anybody if you don't thrust at the right time.

Thrust adds about 50 length on polearms, so you fail If you cant stop a Great lance coucher charging at you.

Where the hell did you get those weird numbers from?
Thrust adds about 0 length on polearms.

[Osiris]

Great lance can only couch and cant block. Its hardly OP

Im pretty sure it does add length.I read it in a thread.

Legit.

[Vexus]

It adds 50 length only with shield, without shield it adds 10-20 length so pretty much 0 thanks to the pole grip.

[B3RS3RK]

Ah ok, now THATs why I had 50 in my mind ,thanks

And since people use shields with heavy lances, which animation does it use... 

[Osiris]

well it uses couch which doesnt add much length right i think the length discussion was in relation to stabbing with a long spear

[Kirman]

It was mostly about Great Lance's lenght but yeah it can be stabbing with a long spear too  but i dont haveproblem  with other cavs which is using heavy/light lance.

[Konrax]

Heavy lance when stabbing is actually longer then the great lance.

Which imho is bs

And since people use shields with heavy lances, which animation does it use... 

bow animation?



Btw, if someone couches you can jump or walk to the side and stab the horse. Lanceangle on horse isn't that big so it should be quite easy.

And since people use shields with heavy lances, which animation does it use... 

Actually I believe it uses the one hand pole animation when you are mounted regardless of if you have a shield or not. I might well be wrong though.

You're right.

Also, great lance is fine, stop complaining, you're making yourself look silly.
