Lancer (formerly Pikeman)
What makes Lancer different?
Lancer are primarily known for their AoE attacks. To a lesser degree, their state attacks and defense. This profession has both a normal damage spin attack as well as a spin knockdown attack. These are particularly useful for farming xp, pulling aggro, and crowd control. These attacks do an average amount of damage but if there are several enemies the DPS can add up quickly. For single targets, Lancer does have a few medium-high damage attacks, but are generally not recognized as a high DPS single target profession. State attacks include intimidate, warcry, and stun.
