Well Heide Lance is a lance believe it or not...It's not, but you do get some nice range even if all you get are thrusts.
Personally, I find the heide lance one of the better spears since it has a very powerful multi-hit charge attack with a powerful stun. Syan halberd isn't too bad either. Arch drake mace has huge poise damage - the best I've seen - wielding it is a pain in the rear, though.
I filled my last character slot today with a character who I intended to use dual axes.
In the end, he's dual wielding Red Rust Sword, a "straight sword" with attacks from axe and greatsword, with Gyrm Axe, an "axe" with the greataxe moveset, and probably the best greataxe overall. I don't know how that happened, but he certainly does a lot of damage at the moment.
I'd give him that shield crossbow to add to the odd weapons theme if Avelyn wasn't the only usable crossbow... :/
