THIS IS A RAGE POST. A hero doesnt like that sometimes he is killed by couches. Its really just that. Heavy lance is a superweapon, sure, its supposed to be, without paying upkeep for a horse u are not gonna use the heavylance. I dont play cav at all cause I fucking suck at it, but of all cav that attack me as an archer, shielder, 2hander, lancers are the LEAST effective and LEAST scary, they can only get you with a back attack or when you are already being ganked, and the first: Be aware, and second, once your attacked from behind while already being ganked, wtf does it matter if it was a couch lance, an arrow, a pike, dead is dead. The OP is LITERALLY in the minority:
Despite what he may say about how from his experience blah blah blah blah, this thread was made cause he was playing 1hander no shield, the only class lancers can engage head on, simply by couching/thrusting at max angle as they turn away from enemy. This way 1hander cannot hit back without being lanced. This makes lancers the ONLY melee enemy that Teeth cannot get a sneaky hit on with the ghost reach on rightswing.
This OP was, very basically: Scissors claiming that rock is OP.
