The Lancer is a good fighter and can come in handy at times. Its Jump attack is extremely powerful if you have a Lance equiped at the time, and while you are in the air, you can't be attacked. Also, you can learn the very effecient ability, Lance. Lance allows you to absorb both HP and MP. This can be a life saver if your low on MP. And from my expert opinion, they should have called the Job 'Dragoon' instead of 'Lancer.'
