| Mr Khan said: Agility, mostly. Though Agility is something the Great Sword is heavily lacking in too, i'm just not comfortable facing bosses solo with the Lance just yet. Online, sure, but not offline yet. |
The lance is actually quite agile, once you get the hang of it. Basically, try to emulate this guy:

Use your sidestep, advancing guard, and counterthrust abilities to move about or, better yet, get the monster close to you and in a position where you're one quick pivot away from counterattacking. It can do crazy damage very quickly this way: I killed the Lagi my first time in under 15 minutes with the first Gobul Lance, and that was with retreating twice to wear off the paralysis susceptability. I also find it useful to have the Evasion abilities, as invulnerability combines greatly with reducing cooldown.
One important thing if you do use the lance: Cha-Cha becomes more of a liability than a help once you get used to it, as you want the monster near you at all times, rather than charging the NPC on the other side of the map.
