GW2 | Spear Power Quickness Deadeye (41,289 / 42,470 dagger ending) | Aug '24 Janthir Wilds

[@redsocksandcrocs]

I'm in love with this build- thank you! The flexibility is really nice.

[@Stevethebeast08]

Finally you release a video, I have been patiently waiting 😮‍💨 EDIT: it’s already on snow crows

[@Sporophyx]

Anet : We want to make the spear used by all spec. Reality : Deadeye for the Win

[@Iskarel_GW2]

The problem this time is just that the trait design of Quickness Deadeye assumes that it does not have the same Initiative throughput as Maleficent Seven. The two new weapons change that, so the damage gap between Support and DPS Deadeye is shrinking.

Will power daredevil be viable with Spear?

[@Iskarel_GW2]

@@jelloz7316Yep.

[@cotojee]

this rotation is so complex because is hard to keep up what you are currently doing... Not sure if I want to put such an effort into it.. :(

[@n1cemaiden879]

You'll still be doing good damage with the staff/dagger variant

[@sand9577]

Can anyone besides the creator of this rotation come close to this?

[@potatoisnotpotato]

great song choice :D

[@McPilch]

BAND-MAID!!!!!

[@Arxndomguy]

Hey man, is there a way for this build have a simpler rotation? Gratz for the bench

[@Iskarel_GW2]

You can simplify a little bit by using Distracting Throw (Spear 4) whenever possible (i.e. 2-Lead Attack after Stealth Attack, 4 as Lead Attack whenever starting a new combo after 2-Finisher). Otherwise, no, not really. You could take a further DPS loss to just use 2-Follow Up instead of 3-Follow Up but that drains a bit more Init. If you're not going at bench pace, then that might not matter much. If you do this, I recommend using the Spear 4 simplification above, since that costs 1 less Init than the usual 2-Lead Attack.

[@Arxndomguy]

@Iskarel_GW2 so, the loop is basically spear 2-3-2 2x qckness, stealth attack and repeat? And spear 4 when i remember xD

[@mic1234008]

Spear is so fun to play in open world. After the mess name axe thief. I'll accept this apology Xd. Gonna learn to play this properly. Thanks!

[@quatron9561]

Idk if it is too much to ask but would you kindly also make video of condi spear please?

[@Amydamru]

i assume it's Incera's job to do that but, considering the nerf, dunno if we will see it soon

[@Iskarel_GW2]

Incera’s working on lots of other Spear Thief builds including all the Condi DPS options.

[@MrFelicesBladewing]

is there also a condition variant following as it is designed to be a hybrid weapon, or is power straight up better numberwise, so it wont make it to a guide/build from your side?

[@Iskarel_GW2]

Yes it's good for every Condition version of Thief. Core, all elite specs, quickness, alacrity. Incera will post benchmarks soon.

[@warblizarga]

​@@Iskarel_GW2 just slot a spear into condi build will work? Like condi daredevil?

[@ramenrider4238]

Witch runes?

[@Iskarel_GW2]

Dragonhunter and Scholar runes are both good. Difference is practically unnoticeable.

[@TheJoker-xc9xt]

We got Spear Thief before GTA VI

Spir

[@julian2719]

本当に日本の方ですか？

[@Iskarel_GW2]

I just love BAND-MAID's music.

[@madmagus7693]

For those of us who don't know thief intimately, it would be nice if you actually explained what and why you are pressing buttons. Just watching buttons being pressed doesn't do much to show me how to play the class. Thanks for the effort.

[@Iskarel_GW2]

Read the video description.
