Guild Wars 2

So I am currently making incinerator and the legendary spear for my ranger and was wondering if either weapon actually has any special effects on ranger’s skills or if you just get the fancy skin, such as the shark popping up on critical hits for the spear. Granted I read on the wiki that the shark will only pop on ONE ranger attack as opposed to the entire skillbar which is rather depressing considering almost all of the warrior’s attacks will make the shark pop up … And then for incinerator when you use the throw dagger skill does it actually throw incinerator? Or just the default dagger? Maybe i’ll just put the spear on my warrior if ranger’s get no love… #thestruggle

Shark only pops if you crit with #3, other skills do not pop shark on crit.

Skady.5916:

I can confirm this, having owned the spear for 6+ months now. Kind of unfortunate. I wish it proc’d on more skills as well. As an additional note, and it’s somewhat difficult to test, the #2 whirl finisher when used in a combo field occasionally sends out ghost shark projectiles. I “think” that if these hit an enemy, the shark bite animation also triggers. Only from the whirl, though. The #4 ranged doesn’t proc.

Pretty sure its not only me who noticed that Ranger is actually good underwater while wielding a spear so it is somehow ideal to get the legendary imo. Not quite sure of the animations though.

Ok thank you guys for the answers, quite depressing that the shark only pops on one attack, I think once I actually get it i’ll post on the bug forum and see if i can get a response, unless it’s intended rangers only get the spear effect on one attack lol…
