spearman guide

So you've decided to become a Spearman, eh? There are some things that you
should know.


QUOTE

Advantages:

* Uses spears and polearms

* Polearms have a stronger slash

* Spears have a stronger stab

* Weapons have long reach

* Fancy 3rd job skills

* Strongest raw attack

* Many multi-hit moves in 3rd job

* Hyper Body allows them to have much more HP and MP

* Since advancing to Spearman gives you more MP, they have the most MP out
of all the warriors


Disadvantages:

* Spears and Polearms are slow

* Spears do less damage when slashing

* Polearms do less damage when stabbing

* Hardest class to use

* Very big range between minimum and maximum damage

* Lower defense than Page and Fighter because they have no Power Guard



Spears: Pros- Slightly faster attack when you stab, and more dmg when you stab

----Cons- Spears at level 50+ = expensive

Slash dmg= weak


Polearms: Pros: Strong slash dmg, prices of polearms slightly less expensive

----Cons- weak at stab, no level 40 polearm out in game yet
