Lances vs Cannons

There are countless guides everywhere and most of them tell basically the same but they do not EXPLAIN WHY.

Lances got 1.3 cast / Cannons 1.5

Skill amplifier is the same while added dmg is the difference.

Can someone elaborate why most of you tend to pick lances though ... coz if you time right the combo with cannons you get more dmg around 12 hit.


Another thing i saw is that a lot of you go for terra lance or cannon [ i understand that the amp starts at 70% now ] but still range is lower compared to others. I do believe a FA strenght lies in keeping a distance from all the mobs but giving a bit more dmg [ but that's just my oppinion ]

Anyway discuss.

I use lances in pvp and cannons in pve. gm/trans in tg+cannons.

In pure 1vs1 you need speed. that's all ^^

In pvp time changes for both.
lances get from 1.3 to 1.1
cannons from 1.5 to 1.3
so i can barely see any noticeable time change but oh well stick with lances.
