What is this witch craft ?

That’s the passive attribute at C2, it’s normal. The real witch craft is the block effect. lol

Lancer skills lack inate AoE ratio, what I notice is lancer skills doesn’t hit more than 2-3 targets on a mob of monsters.It could be the reason why it’s sometimes hard to land joust silence on necromancer with many summons.

I don’t see why a small hitbox is not worth it (so far). IMC might reajust it too.
Anyways, Crush is totally worth it. Max attribute give -50% def and -50% attack for 10 seconds on targets.

The only downside I see with that skill is the animation. It’s pitiful. In a party or bossing with all the effects around it it’s not noticeable at all for the rest of the party so usually teamates can’t take his advantage unless they already casting something at the same time.
They need to change the animation for it. Like comparing that to Dethrone for exemple. Like you know Dethrone was cast because of it’s big noticeable animation.
I am convinced Lancer 2 skills will have a AoE one.

Crush is listed as a debuff, does it show on targets ?

the most i could do with crush+quintain is 4 medium targets and 3 large targets
as a cataphract 3 lancer aoe will not be your concern.
You are a swordsman and most swordsmen won’t lack basic aoe stuff like some archer (except fencer i think?) Just get your rush to high attribute and when you get to rank 7, pick draogon/doppel if you want more aoe. But really lancer is a pvp class so if you’re concerned about aoe i would pick dragoon c2, dethrone has much better aoe.

Not sure about aoe, but my prediction for future lancer circles is a skill that has synergy with the 30% knockdown chance, which would mean a skill that enhances your basic attack (the knockdown work only on basic attack)
ofc we already know that initiate will get an attribute.

and BTW for the OP - initiate is still a mystery skill with a mechanic that is not understood. We might have to wait to circle 2 or even circle 3 to fully understand why does that skill make you block with a spear. For now we can just enjoy beating archers and other swordsmen with our awesome initiate/deployment.

there is, but i find it not enough imo. especially when it comes as flashing already or if you a little further away from mob/boss you won’t see it
