Double Sided Lance

[nayman]

what is it for?
if it was a little bit longer, i wouldnt even doubt to use it. great piercing damage is a supa advantage, but i see no other. is there any other advantages?
and what are disadvantages?

what i see are:
advantages
pierceing

disadvantages
very short lenght
blunt swing (if there was a cuttting edge oh i would love it)

no need to discuss the second side of this lance))

PM chadz, we do not know the logic behind this weapon.

The world's most humilating couch attack. Imagine someone couching you with a 130 length spear from horseback.

More seriously, it's a good hoplite weapon. Think of it as the ashwood pike's little brother. Or an awlpike you can use with a shield.

Also the model is dope as hell. IT GOTS TWO POINTY ENDS

[nayman]

i don undrstnd the logic of couching with this)) if there was any harseman who used it, he must have been hit the enemy on 99th attempt:)
as a hoplite it would be amiable if it was at least 140 lenght ... but 130. but to say smth we have to try to use first)
ty for replying)

Its only for ninja couching, aware targets will be able to dodge or hit you first except you are very lucky.

I can remember GK_Lungy (?) using a Double Sided Lance with a 12/30 (?) build on an Arabian Warhorse. He even used it on siege. Was awesome. Not sure if it will still work, though.

It's a really nice polearm for polearming with no shield with an agistacking build.

[WITCHCRAFT]

The speed and thrust damage are amazing. It's a good no-shield polarm as well but the cost is a limiting factor.

It costs about as much as a miaodao, but the good thrust damage is outweighed by the weak swings. It does less swing damage than a quarterstaff or boar spear.

I think that it should be buffed in swing damage or reduced in price to balance the item. In its current state, it is rarely or never used.

If I was a polearmer/hoplite I'd use this weapon or the "spear" both are really really good and so underestimated weapons

[Palurgee]

This weapon is actually much better than it seems. I did a "mounted hoplite" type build for a while, using a +1 double sided lance. Excellent pierce damage, couching and four attack directions make it very viable for both infantry and cavalry.

[Miwiw]

I used it on horseback before with a 1h/shield cav build and couched people to death. It's shorter than any lance so it's often more difficult to couch someone unaware, but if you do it, it's a nice weapon. On foot + shield it's also good as an ashwood pike so it's actually quite a balanced weapon which can be used in many ways.

This is actually one of the most awesome hoplite weapons. I used it with a 15/24 build, thanks to its short range it never glances and despite having only 5 powerstrike i only needed 2-3 hits to kill most ppl thanks to the high damage.

PM chadz, we do not know the logic behind this weapon.

I suggest this as well. Also, ask him to make the weapon throwable.

[FleetFox]

Its a great weapon at MW. 35 pierce stab and 22 blunt swing its great. I also happen to be trading my MW one because im no longer polearm if anyone is interested

[Johammeth]

I suggest this as well. Also, ask him to make the weapon throwable.

Dear god, yes.
