Lancers are... ?

[Synapse]

I hate to tell you, you are not out damaging an archer. I have all the same buffs you just mentioned and even a poorly geared Archer will still break 1k in the situation you described.

Maybe when they nerf archer lancer will be neck and neck in dmg.



Same thing here; hello WideVolly II for 350-500 dmg across multiple mobs . It's faster for an archer to get rid of adds than a lancer. Especially considering you have to move yourself between the groups of mobs where as archer just needs to switch targets range distance is usually enough. There's just way more burst damage output there to take down adds faster.

TBH any adds we ever get are taken by the mages using emulate so they can siphon mp or me for TP.

ARC is stil best at extra adds like Hogs during dodore due to their burst dmg and longer range.

During Dodore, we usually have ARC and LNC in pt, ARC are lucky because Wide Volley II only cost 1000tp, but LNC arnt far behind, they can do 700-900 to each of Dodore's Minions (up to 4, 5 possible but hard to adjust) with Doom Spike II @ 3000tp. I personally did 725, 775, 790 and 820, and currently hold the highest DMG on Dodore, @ Doomspike II 1378, 2nd best is ARC at 1238 in our shell (Legacy - Bodhum).
