All SPEAR Skills and Animations Showcase

[@ekkophantom]

Footage was taken during June 2024 beta of Spears so SKILL ICONS are missing, also they changed skill's numbers abit on some classes. wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Spear Check this link for new icons + changes

[@alancode2147]

Makes a 15 minute video covering all spear abilities and animations (with good pacing across all specializations). Spends the last 5 minutes of it just covering all the freaken elemental abilities. Checks out.

[@ekkophantom]

lmao too much elements 😂 the class solo carried video duration

[@Igndraw]

Elementalist is by far the most unique class if you think about, but it also requires basically 4x the amount of work 🤣🤣

[@alancode2147]

@@Igndraw yea it is crazy how much development time has to be devoted to elementalists

[@aethermartyr4860]

meanwhile anet cant even give another offhand weapon to thief for 10 straight years. even though every weapon ele has got 20 unique skills they say its too much work to make dual weapon skills. i get mad when i see a ele because of this

[@yeetskeet4657]

​@aethermartyr4860 I'm an ele main but I feel that pain, I talk about potential thief offhands all the time. Forever dreaming about thief focus

[@AzureRoxe]

Everyone looks so cool. And then Warrior is just "stab dude, yay".

[@magnusm4]

Warrior got a fun thief dodge skill. Then suddenly lightning. Warrior. The most meelee brutal class just randomly out of nowhere becomes an elementalist. Then Guardian. With magic, who throws several great swords. Just rush straight in like a doofus.

[@RandomGrindingGames]

now we need possibility to 1H spear + shield for warrior with condition based skills to turn it into the parangon

[@kreidas]

I was surprised that spear was not one handed to begin with. I was actually hoping for a paragon type character.

[@monkeeb]

Rev spear is going to go absolutely bonkers in a Condi Renegade shell.

[@KatoCoyoteCombatWorkshop]

Annoyed at how ever since PoF everything new for the ranger has to have a green fart glow on it. Core ranger was always a warrior with a different skillset, but now it all has to be green gas.

[@arshameghtedary344]

weed bro WEEEEED

[@kreidas]

How do you think that Rangers get rid of their wasteful gas? 😄😄😄

[@lcZahark]

Elementalist by far have the best looking effects.

[@dragongoddragneel7106]

Thief combo system is really fun

[@kleinc2584]

Been looking for a showcase. Thank you!

[@chaoticneutral1090]

Guardian, mesmer, engineer, elementalist, look all rly cool

[@dreamforger7166]

So you can just use auto attacks to enhance skill 5 for elementalist? That is always something. Does it has a different animation?

[@ekkophantom]

any attacks basically not just auto attacks

[@TheEightDomain]

Engineer and Thief is so cool but the DPS is pretty underwhelming and the animations are very slow and heavy

[@ekkophantom]

also rev animations especially when they're slowed its worse lmao

[@Aunteryn]

There was a video of 50k dps spear thief

[@ryuzakikazeshini4012]

you're high if u think thief spear is underwhelming lol. 53-58k bench atm

[@AzureRoxe]

Engie and Thief are legit the only GOOD ones.

[@creap32]

Warrior spear= gw1 paragon, let's goooo

[@taylorgarrett793]

one thing ive notoitced with ele os that the animations slightly changes if ya charge up the etching ie biger volcano if its charged

[@HitrapperDaBaby]

i was wishing for a Spear + Shield to be possible 😭

[@Oragodon]

the spartan style, i like it :D

[@IRedpunk]

yea big letdown here

[@clarencezer]

Was really hoping we could have gotten that combo. Missed opportunity, would be so cool to, go into a stance form pressing F1 or something with it.

[@DavidSilva-um3yi]

atleast Warrior could have that combo/stance as proposed, warriors physical power as heavy weight lifters could very well use and make a much more appealing weapon, since honestly i think spear warrior is just bad/bland

[@WaxxyDabbss]

Necro spear is gonna pair really well with both strike and condi reaper. And the boon rip and, boon block is a thing now? I wonder if that will slap in pvp

[@he110me]

really disappointed there's no one-handed spear given these animations. That stance is screaming Hoplite fashion.

[@vilxxblack2472]

Warrior spear being range is dogsht

[@NightRavvvven]

I wish they would have done it like the ranger speer, but for all classes. Context: it gets melee at close and range at distance

[@anders8461]

Spear skills for heavy armor classes is abit disappointing 😅

[@NightRavvvven]

I really like the Guardian Speer!

[@ZeroTheOtter]

Mesmer so so god damn pretty

[@dragongoddragneel7106]

Animations are fun

[@Der_Hoschinator]

Welches Spiel ist das? Wäre gut wenn das im Titel steht

[@InfernalDeathwish]

Das is guild wars 2

[@ekkophantom]

Es ist Guild Wars 2. Ich habe es nicht hinzugefügt, weil alle meine Videos mit Guild Wars 2 zu tun haben und ich das Spiel als Guild Wars 2 getaggt habe, also sollte es unten angezeigt werden. (idk german so used translator 😅)

[@InfernalDeathwish]

@@ekkophantom friendly reminder KZbin has translator enabled automaticly in comments so no need for the big hassle if other person don't speak the same language 🙏

[@M350clubstyle]

spear ranger on pvp , in think will be good

[@edurtk3458]

wtf with this super cool revenant animation, sadly i'm a main boring guardian

[@patricklafontaine5969]

Engi , Thief, Mesmer and guardian have the more unique elements. Oh and Rev

[@horseradishwithchives]

When someone who has never wielded a 7ft long martial staff is tasked with animating.............oh Lord, have mercy.

[@KatoCoyoteCombatWorkshop]

Usually I'm okay with unrealistic animations for the sake of expression and style, but holding a long weapon behind them and sticking their hand out is gonna be hard for me to get over

[@clouddancer3109]

are those placeholder icons or something? cuz they look trash

[@ekkophantom]

yep ofcourse 😂

[@Flagyouraccount]

Spear isn’t all that good for most classes. The engi and Mesmer look good tho!

[@ssm13-]

Keep it up🎉

[@freshoutthevault1216]

Why the skill images are so ugly?

[@ekkophantom]

These are all placeholders icons during Beta

[@valsarash]

Most of the animations are absolutely fantastic, although some of them defintely need work. Nevertheless I'm super excited! Also no idea how Guardian got melee over Warrior. Doesnt make much sense.

[@ekkophantom]

i mean it kinda makes sense cause warrior dont really have much range option, also last weapon was melee for war and range for guardian. Both of these are performing well atleast.

[@willitnoodle]

All of it’s kinda disappointing if you’re a PvE healer main… I mean, the guardian spear heals but honestly, I dont see it replacing staff-mace/shield any time soon.

[@alex_fabris]

hummm this gonna makes guardian OP...i mean, more op

[@ryuzakikazeshini4012]

so far only thief and mesmer are winners of this spear beta

[@skeletonwheel5056]

how they look worse than gw1

[@irgendwasmitxy]

Don‘t tell me the icons for the abilities are final LOL

[@Vekkgods]

The skill icons look so bad and plain for the spear 😤

[@ekkophantom]

These are placeholders icons during beta test actual icons are good (check pinned comment)

[@supremeleadersnoke1167]

This game didn't aged that well... should hurry up and make Guild Wars 3...

[@arshameghtedary344]

everyone are awesome except warrior.... man he is WAY mediocre and out of theme compared to others!

[@crimsonpotemkin]

The only thing Arenanet never fail at is disappointing.

[@cabals4]

Most of these look terrible. Mostly eused animations and effects. Skill icons are identical, just swapping spots and colour lmao.

[@MGC-XIII]

Making them throwing weapons is lame and the ones that are melee are used as slashing weapons rather than piercing weapons. GW2 do better.

[@LightriverArt]

A lot of classes needed ranged damage options and a majority of players are happy to get them. Multiple of the ones that have Melee animations do use thrusting attacks. Spears historically have been used as slashing and stabbing weapons - their versatility in addition to their reach is what made them so ubiquitous globally. None of your complaints are valid. Do better.

[@InfernalDeathwish]

Jesus your complaining to complain. Everyone loves them

[@MGC-XIII]

@@InfernalDeathwish "Everyone loves them" this is a false statement based on what I wrote.

[@patricklafontaine5969]

Spears were used ranged , they still use spears to hunt both underwater and on land to this day by tribes.

[@MGC-XIII]

@@patricklafontaine5969 Javelins or spears? Because a spear is a 1 time throwable object that is unhandy. Whereas you could usually have multiple javelins. This is what I think off when I think spear kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5imZ62cbdicf5Y&ab_channel=SchildwachePotsdam

[@nichokineraffelt6691]

The icons look like trafic signs... no charm no art just boring

[@smolmica]

Those are placeholders obv.

[@ekkophantom]

Those are not real icons you'll see real icons after launch

[@nichokineraffelt6691]

@@ekkophantom oh okay, all good then

[@warr39]

So much animation reuse, no class has a distinct feeling.MEH

[@NateEpicsaurus]

Why is he mouse clicking the abilities , Ewww , You could just showcase them by using the numbered buttons instead since they still work that way... ☠️

[@ekkophantom]

only reason for that was if people wanted to read the abilities, im not a skill clicker dont worry XD

[@TheMasterwitcher]

This game is so sad. It wants to be everything but its nothing.

[@ridkwngridken3863]

Trash gw2 weapon, wtf
