The one advantage that a lance has at lower levels is the one-hit-massive-damage provided by couching the lance. I love doing this and I have gotten good at it.
However, at a higher level, there is no real point to it, since even a bent spear will one-hit an enemy at a decent speed. My question is, why not use a better weapon? I think the awlpikes are superior to the lances. Almost every non-lance polearm that can have a shield offers better attack points and options than lances.
Also, a secondary question, how do you make the weapon swing or thrust (as it says it can do both types)? At the moment I can only do one type of attack with the weapon. X doesn't seem to be related to this function.
