Strong and mighty looks when throwing a spear, great ias and adrenalline gain make warriors the best spear turret evaamirite?

Atts & Skills:

[build prof=Warrior/Paragon box SpearMastery=12 Strength=12+1+1][Barbed Spear][Spear of Fury][Stunning Strike][Flail][Enduring Harmony][For Great Justice!][Save Yourselves!][Lion's Comfort][/build]

Usage:
C-space, charge barbed spear or use enraging charge, throw it followed by spear of fury and flail after that you can spam stuff all you want, use lion's comfort to heal and gain adrenalline to charge "SY!"/Stunning.

Variants:
-Barbed spear for enraging charge if you have something to apply conditions in your party, like curses nec.
-Enduring harmony for finish him or meciless spear for dw.
-Dont take SY! if theres a imbagon in the party, take any other skill instead.
-Spear of redemption in areas you may encounter blind.
-air of superiority instead of enduring harmony if you have high enough asura ranks to keep it up indefenetely.

Pros:
-Very manly, high dps, ability to shut down casters, ability to spam sy!, charges adrenal attacks faster than a paragon can + has a better ias.
-Good synergies.

Cons:
-Doesnt have tntf but imbagons dont have stunning, no res.

Here it is, gimme fame!

just an fyi, the codes are back so you could edit your post for others to see your skills clearly.

How is it for keeping up [Save Yourselves!] ? If it's not' constant i doubt i'd use it. :/

Ya, but imbagons can take [[spear swipe] and get their daze. Also, dont really see how you're gonna manage a good SY uptime tbh with all those adren skills.

This build would be viable if you bring an essence of clarity so that FGJ is 30/33 instead of 30/45. That would allow you to remove flail for something else, posssibly Drunken Master, as even while not drunk it would stack with essence and give you a total 33% faster attack/move. Barbed spear is honestly not needed, you're bound to have SOMEONE making conditions somewhere else in the party. Curses necro, minion master, elementalist, ranger, something. Could add Merciless spear instead for Deep Wound.

You cant keep SY! up,soo no.

Yea but they dont really have place for it and need to go to melee range and spear swipe has really long recharge too. And you are gonna mantain SY! no problem with your with your attack rate, adrenal gain and LC.

Well, I think so too actually, you at least shud have weakness or something but some player might not bring it so having barbed is more versatile? :P

Also,

Yay codes r back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually, that all depends on your SY! rank. at 4 seconds, using no adrenal skills but SY! would keep it up permanently, using spear of fury directly after SY! would allow you enough leeway to use stunning strike, and of course 5~6 second SY! would allow more leeway yet. (Also, lion's comfort is a great help, 3 adren x 2 = 6 adren every time you use it.

EXAMPLE. SY! used. attack (1 second, 2 adrenaline total) Stunning Strike used. (2 seconds, 3 adrenaline total) Lion's comfort used (3 seconds, 8 adrenaline total) Attack/use SY! right before spear hits. ~3.8 seconds, 2 adrenaline total towards SY!

It's pretty viable at 4+ seconds as you can see.

EDIT : Just checked SY! duration, lowest possible (new) duration is 4s, so yes this is maintainable, just takes more effort at lowest rank.

What he said. :3

Daisuko · Nov 04, 2008, 07:47 PM // 19:47

Blind isn't an issue. If you're in an area where you might be blinded, swap barbed spear for Spear of Redemption.

Remedy signet is a no-go thanks to lion's comfort, but Spear of Redemption allows for blind removal, as well as mild +damage to increase overall DPS

Finish Him! isn't very viable IMO due to low energy, however with a zealous spear it may be viable.

Air of Superiority could be used to replace Enduring Harmony, the % chance for instant recharge should be enough as long as you can kill the foes you're fighting before FGJ runs out, and it provides extra survivability from condition removal, health gain, bonus energy... It'd be a nice addition. Plus then you could name this build "Superior Wagon" or something :P

Daisuko · Nov 05, 2008, 05:06 AM // 05:06

BTW air of superiority is able to be kept up forever at rank 1 last I checked :P

Oye, they changed the durations x.x, so, do you think the all skill recharge would accut often enough? Because in that case I'd replace enduring with it. But really neither are really needed, 20 sec fgj is enough and when its not up you would have more than enough adren by spamming lion's comfort and spear of fury to at least keep sy up at all times. ^^

You do more damage with Hammers, Axes, and Swords. Not too mention scythes.

Sorry, but no.

You cant daze with hammers, axes and swords not to mention scythes.

A Leprechaun · Nov 06, 2008, 04:01 PM // 16:01

Daze is rarely needed in PvE. I'd rather have the damage.

syphonus · Nov 06, 2008, 04:38 PM // 16:38

Can't say much for damage, but it's a better user of [save yourselves!] than godmode, IMO. Staying near the mid- and backlines takes a lot of pressure off the war, not to mention guaranteeing perfect coverage of sy!

Tried this with racway the other night and was pretty impressed.

Bobby2 · Nov 06, 2008, 09:19 PM // 21:19

It has spear damage, Daze, 100% SY!

but it needs LC to do so. At 4 seconds SY! uptime I presume one would be camping LC a lot. Which feels kinda counter intuitive when you're Dazing shit... at least it did for me, even having 6 seconds to play with

I think what I'm trying to say is; Para's do it better imho, even disregarding Spear Swipe. Wars have their own brand of caster shutdown, and it's called Earth Shaker.

Luminarus · Nov 06, 2008, 10:26 PM // 22:26

Yeah, its good and fun, but not as good as other options. Good for a spear warrior imo.
