terra, fire, aqua lances lvl 20

[Cstriker]

all lances and cannons at 20. Lances are for dps, Cannons are for AoE so I suggest a dps bar and an AoE bar.

FA is about "breaking" their defense, in other words you have enough magic/dmg/crit that lances will actually be effective. Higher magic = more potent BM2, so unless you wanna be hitting 60-70s like some people try to get as much magic as possible.

[Alleluia]

don't get it

[SilvusX]

Lances for boss, pvp / duels etc for highest dps
cannons for pve, or when there is a stack of procs / caps in war (with GD as well of course)

terra, fire, aqua lances lvl 20

This

Is what everyone uses. Combo with Shadowshot, Crit shot. lvl 20. I prefer cannons but that's just me. Definitely crit shot and shadow shot thou.

I use Terra lance level 18, aqua lance level 19, fire lance level 18. But only because it makes combo easier. I don't use cannons ever save for when I use stun lock (which is almost never).

Terra Lance and Fire Lance are my only lances and they are both lvl 18. I made them 18 so that I could make a revolution out of the dps combo Crit shot (lvl 20) > Shadow Shot (lvl 20) > Terra Lance (lvl 18) > Fire Lance (lvl 18). I think the aim for a dps combo is to revolve your combo back to crit shot (which is one of FA's painful skills) as soon as possible, so adding a third and extra level 20 lance (lets say Aqua like what others do) is a waste of damage.
