Since this server is based on Renewal when it comes to attack, would it be more beneficial to just use a refined Lance as opposed to a fully carded Pike[4]?
The only downside is Pike being the best option for 1H Spear to be able to use a shield.
But Lance and other high attack spears at this time are 2H.
I'm starting to wonder if a pure Spear Knight is not as efficient as it could be on this server. Especially if you're missing out on a Thara Frog carded shield in lieu of a 2H spear for more attack.
Could use some advice since I haven't really played with Renewal mechanics. Thanks.
