Oh come on, let that Great Lance alone. No one uses it anyway...
I use it. It's actually fun, and WAY more challenging than regular lance cav. You can attack people on hills so you have to first get on the same hill, and at a distance. You can outrange all but the 189 length polearms is you do it right. It's a 1 hit kill, be it friend, foe, or horse.
But it is bad to use on aware inf cause if you miss(as you can easily do with couches) then you just took a hit.
