Imbagon question (what kind of spearhead) - Page 2 - Guild Wars Forums

Bottom line?
If you really don't need the adren or energy (some people actually use speargon for general PvE sometime, in that case, more adren is nice. So is longer daze) for an imbagon, why not add some damage?
Vamp (admit it, having a dummy spear and pressing F5 before combat and F6 at the end isn't that much of a hassle) or sundering for imbagon. I'd personnally go for Vamp, but if the maths are true, the difference is kinda irrevelent.

I'd run furious regardless of what your build is...it's always nice to have that double hit of adrenaline. I've ran imbagon with order of fury on a hero, and that 4 adrenaline every 10 hits or so is actually rather noticeable. It's not "every ten hits" either...each attack has its own 10% probability. You could get lucky and get it half the time...I've seen that too.

Since the mod doesn't matter, may as well run what works best with your build. For an adrenaline based build, adrenaline is a no-brainer. Furious, all the way.

Oh, and you can also imbagon with appreciable and useful pressure with damage. I run 15 spear mastery, 12 leadership with a rune, and 10 tactics with auspicious parry as my elite. Spear of lightning and one adrenaline attack skill, spear of fury, sy!, tntf!, and a couple chants or shouts which match the area, or sig of return plus one shout/chant.
