Guild Wars 2

Maybe I am…

But now that Wells are useable underwater, I started to realize that the Spear would make an awesome on-land weapon for the Power Necro. The kit is great, really well balanced, and makes logical sense with a siphon build.

There’s a small part of me that would forgive ANet for everything (yes, everything) if they made this happen.

all underwater stuff is amazing.

Like mechanical wise, compare DS autoatack. Even if u remove the overpowered condition transfer and scale damage according to fire rate, its totaly superior for faster might stacking and less blind shutdown.

Oh and all the pbAOEs

Off-topic…
I like spears in general (not GW2 related). They are amazing. Who doesn’t want to kill people standing out of their reach?
Spear being an underwater-only weapon is sort of weird… since it’s not.

Best Necromancer skill by far

Some players have been asking for that also on guardian class forum, meybe an adaptation of of land skills, imo spear 1 handed while trident 2 handed for casters.

I’d say it competes with Locust Swarm and Consume Conditions, but it’s definitely in the top 3.

It’s the only thing keeping me from getting the mistforged spear.

Sorry Brandon, i’d have to say plague blast is a bit better

True… it is puzzling to why Plague Blast and Life Blast differ in that respect…
Meh still, Condi removal enough in the non-watery areas, so a 5 target pull would be much appreciated… With a cripple, because it fits attrition ._.

I have been wanting a land spear ever since the rumor of additional weapons started. Necromancer’s main condition damage comes from bleeds, which are mainly from scepter, a long-ish range weapon. A short-range land spear with bleed, torment, blind, and a leap finisher / gap closer would enable more effective condi builds in PvE and reduce the number of condi-bunkers in WvW.

Spear seems to be the best weapon we have. Cleaves on the 1 and 2, pulls on the 4, leap on the 5. Free PBAOE on the 3. It’d be a fantastic land weapon if we could use it there.

Personally, what I’d like to see would be for ANet to remove the distinction between land and sea weapons;
Combine Tridents and Staves
Combine Rifles and Spearguns
Spears usable on land

Gives 6 of 8 classes a new weapon to play with on land, and every class a lot of new weapons to play with underwater.

a spear in land…like a gladiator..skill 4 could throw a net, and then pull, like binding blade. Combined with our Point blank AOE it would be beautiful.

PS: a trident is also great for a gladiator

In response to title, everyone wants land spears.. even thieves somehow.

I’d LOVE the spear on land

Yeah, I hear y’all.

I guess my specific statement was simply to say that, if at all possible, I’d love to be able to use the Necro’s spear (with the same skills ’n all) on Land. Now with Wells being useable underwater a spear/siphon build got seriously legit.

I’d maybe change Spear 5, though. Turn it into a root ’n bleed maybe? Dunno. I feel like two pulls on one land weapon would be unnecessary.
