Advantages:
* Uses spears and polearms
* Polearms have a stronger slash
* Spears have a stronger stab
* Weapons have long reach
* Fancy 3rd job skills
* Strongest raw attack
* Many multi-hit moves in 3rd job
* Hyper Body allows them to have much more HP and MP
* Since advancing to Spearman gives you more MP, they have the most MP out
of all the warriors
Disadvantages:
* Spears and Polearms are slow
* Spears do less damage when slashing
* Polearms do less damage when stabbing
* Hardest class to use
* Very big range between minimum and maximum damage
* Lower defense than Page and Fighter because they have no Power Guard
Spears: Pros- Slightly faster attack when you stab, and more dmg when you stab
----Cons- Spears at level 50+ = expensive
Slash dmg= weak
Polearms: Pros: Strong slash dmg, prices of polearms slightly less expensive
----Cons- weak at stab, no level 40 polearm out in game yet
