If you have a choice to roll power or aggro there is no point in making a PvP dedicated lance. I like the fact that you have to have both. Means you choose what play style you want. Can't be greedy now guys.


Uh.. far from it. 2% Aggro is a useless stat even for PvE if you have any idea how to hold aggro. I highly doubt being able to reroll power on 10/11/12 for PvE lances would make PvP ones suddenly obsolete.
Yes, at that level it is about right to take that long. Learn how to balance constant skill use and mana upkeep and your kill speeds should improve. You shouldn't be looking at damage per hit either, lancers are a multi hit class in terms of dealing damage. It's split between parts of a move but those numbers do add up very quickly.

As for getting hit hard, while they are the tanks in the game what makes them so tanky is their ability to block. Even in a game like this the tank can only take a few hits, which makes perfect sense. If you could facetank everything and not block it would defeat the purpose of being a lancer. Lancer isn't for everyone but if you stick with it then it's a rewarding class.

Also, yes one hit mechanics exist at later levels. Lancers need to be able to adapt to the situation in regards to positioning, different dungeon mechanics, threat management etc;. Don't expect to just need to block if you want to play the class effectively, it's more complex than it seems if you're doing it right. It will take some time to get used to but if you don't want to invest the time into it I would suggest rolling a dps class instead.

If you do a bit of research on what you're going into beforehand then sure why not.

It's aggro.


Why do they feel the need to give us a horrible 10/11/12 stat..
This raid any fun/worth coming back for? Grats btw. :]

Since I haven't bothered logging in for a few weeks, can anyone tell me if the KN raid lance has aggro on the 10/11/12 or can it have power?

To you they might be easy to learn and complete but not to a lot of people, and no way are a lot of people farming it let alone even tried it, well in my server anyway lake of tears. You think too high and mighty since your probably a very skilled player. Thats similar to saying i can lift 300 pounds and i expect everyone else to at least lift 250 pounds. I tried to watch manaya'c core normal guides on youtube but the one i found was over 30 mins long and its pretty hard to remember everything in the entire 30 min long video, maybe not for you and maybe i might need to rewatch it 20 times. I do agree with your last point about lore/story people being in the minority sadly.


I speak not from my own experiences ( I do tend to be a quick learner) but from seeing people that I've taught grasp it quite easily. There's a good few people I've taught the dungeon, many of them people thought were too bad to even try taking. It's just a matter of learning it from someone that can explain well, it's not tough and I don't think I'm some godlike player that's in the 1%. Of all the people I know, most of them can do at least MCNM and alot MCHM.

If you truly believe this, I think you would be in utter shock if you found out the actual number of people that have even tried it.


What can I say I'm a hopeless optimist..

I agree with this guy, i play it for the lore/story and i would really like to down the argon queen, i know i would never get good enough for hard mode but i just wanna beat shandra manaya in normal at least. They should nerf it eventually but hopefully a lot sooner. The fair thing to do is nerf normal but keep hard the same since hard needs to stay hard for the 100% elite people.


Both are incredibly easy to learn and complete. I'd say by now the majority of the population has at least normal mode on farm status. I understand you play it for the lore/story but players like yourself are in the minority by far. If you want the completion, put the work in to learn it and down it like the rest of us. (Don't mean to sound rude)
