Defense and Counterattack may not be used with a lance equipped.

No. Charge can be used last I played on a giant, so assumed the same for a charge w/o shield reforged human.

That's some weird shit.

Charge and Lance Charge share the same cooldown. A giant can use either whenever they want and it does not switch your weapon. However, I'm pretty sure a human cannot use charge with just a lance equipped. I believe it'll say you need shield or switch to your other gear if you have one equipped already.

I'd have to test it though because I don't play little humans much :)

Not sure why they didn't just consolidate the two skills along with Counterattack + Lance Counter and save some hotkey spots. It's totes possible.

That seems pointless and unnecessary to me. Not to mention the skills are entirely different.

I think IDSd's idea makes sense since you're not going to use one when you have the other. It would also make it possible, for example, to switch between traditional melee + shield, and lances without having to switch hotkey sets.

Not that it matters though, we don't control how the game works, lol.

Then we wouldn't have ANY lance specific skills then.

Yeah, but it barely even passes as a skillset in the first place.

And that extra ap. :(

True, lance doesn't have much, but I don't want it to have even less!

AP isn't so bad, especially with the free talent ap now :)

As much as I don't like redundancy and copypaste skills, more stats is better than none.

We should tell devCat to implement a skill that does literally nothing but every rank gives you a ton of stats.

Wine Making.

You have an odd definition of "a ton of stats".

Oh well. I'm an elf, so I really don't care about lances. lol.

This explains everything!
