FFXIV LANCER

The strategy of the lancer is to outrange and fluster opponents with their long, two-handed polearms, peppering them with a barrage of thrusting attacks. They are trained with a number of weapons, giving a diversity to their attack that makes them extremely versatile combatants.

In former times, the longspears saw the most widespread use, due in great part to the influence of the proud lancer legions of Ala Mhigo. Since then, the guild has greatly expanded its armouries to include a variety of weaponry, such as the throwing javelin.

Lancer is one of many Classes in Eorzea under Disciples of War. The Lancer class one of the best damage-dealing (DD) jobs in Final Fantasy XIV, has good soloing strength, and has a few powerful group and self-buffs. It also has a few valuable debuffs, making it a solid DD class which brings more to the table than raw damage. The Lancer is great for any player who likes to deal damage, play in groups, or even play solo. It is a strong class and has valuable skills that can transfer over to other jobs as well.

By utilizing the long reach of their polearms, lancers are able to deal devastating damage from a position of relative safety.

The battle tactics of the lancers afford them numerous advantages, such as avoiding the ire of enemies and enhancing the attacks of companions.

PRIMARY STATS

Lancers calculate attack damage based on Piety (PIE) and Strength (STR).

GUILD

"The Wailing Barracks are home to the Wood Wailers, the lancers of Gridania who keep the peace within the city and the greater peace without. It is to this enormous wooden structure that the townspeople come with matters whose resolution requires a polearm's edge, and here that the nation keeps its goals, the occupants of which have committed crimes that have wronged the forest or forestborn. It is also home to the Lancers' Guild, which is ever on the lookout for able bodies to aid in its grand endeavors."

Located in Gridania. Lancers' Guild can be found in the Wailing Barracks, in the northeastern part of the city.
