Lancers are the glue that hold the party together. Do you ever notice that when you are a lancer in a party, everyone just lets you take lead. Lancer first to attack. Followed by the Tank. Lancer is the leading class, with party support.

Also as far as advanced classes go. I hope they combine the already existing classes to make the advance classes. R40 Marauder + R40 Lancer ='s Berserker. R40 Lancer + R40 Thaumaturge ='s Dark Dragoon. R40 Gladiator + R40 Conjurer ='s Mystical Night. That way you have to get high enough in the other Classes to Unlock the next class.
