6 Power Strike sometimes feels a little bit low, though.
Not really, because as a lancer you get enormous speed bonus damage, and dont forget that you deal pierce damage, which is better on medium/heavy armoured players, rather than peasants/archers.
Fun fact, when I was playing as a lancer, I used to 1 hit armoured enemies, while archers required 2 and in some cases 3 stabs. go figure
