Great Lance so useless!

[Nomad]

WTF with Lance in this game? In DkS 2 all lances was good, but in this game it's useless/

[Marty]

Infuse it with poison gem

In DS1, it was Backstab or go home. In DS2, Bleed was a very pitiful statues effect, where Poison was fairly good (not really "meta", but very viable), and DS3 reversed the statues roles.

Things change between 'Souls games, and it's kindof a good thing, too. Gives me a reason to return to 1 or 2.

Great lance was broken in DS 2 large hitbox and pvp on the bridge was stupid against it.

Yeah it's trash. Use the pike instead. Although it's a rare drop.

I find it ok.

Grab a decent greatshield (lothric knight, cathedral knight, black iron ect), put on leo ring, invade/summon, lift shield, poke, ???, 100% win rate.

pretty much. if you're confident in your pvp skills you could also just equip a great axe too and bait them to get close lol. doesn't work as well as a shield/lance combo but it's hilarious when it does work.

It really isn't. All it's atributes rank between "meh" and really bad.

- Poor tracking
- Slow
- Meh damage
- short reach for what it is
- small hitbox
- high stamina consumption for the little damage it does

It's pretty much as ghetto as it gets. And what makes it basically competely unusable for pvp is the fact that the attacks are so slow and telegraphed that a blind man can parry them. And since it does so little damage there is very little risk involved in trying. It can be used to riposte or backstab people, sure. But there are weapons that are way lighter and do more damage for that.

Refer to what I said above. I can poke people three times and it'll gib them. As well as the fact that two of the hits are guarenteed and the shield poke comes out so fast. On top of that, very little people try parrying and even less people can parry a spear poke.

The parry skills of the DS3 PVP community is vastly overestimated by many. It's honestly pretty rare that someone can reliably parry any sort of weapon against a person who's not playing sloppy.

[Boggybean]

So much fun to use regardless.
