This is an apology for the bow.

[@TheTolnoc]

The engineer with the engispear!

[@TheTolnoc]

As a chronic Mechanist hater, I will be stealing this for my Scrapper for the leap and blast finishers.

[@CuriousMoth]

It's a good weapon, does almost identical damage to pistol/pistol in my tests. The skill 5 could be a bit quicker and smoother to use but otherwise I'm happy with it.

[@tyburkulosis8799]

One huge problem with spear is that the 3 skill does not activate mech's rocket punch, which is likely a bug. The 2 skill will sometimes send your character past your target if you're within a certain range. I also feel like it deserves to have more survivability than p/p since it's a melee weapon. But visual effects look great, and I'm glad it's a melee condi.

[@Demogarose]

hmmm. with the Leap and Blast finishers, Condi Scrapper might be a thing now...

[@VMSelvaggio]

I played Engineer and about 5 of the other Core Professions, and I thought Engineer was one of about 3 that felt like ANet could package them today and they would be ready to put LIVE.

[@Safineya]

So far for me the heavy and medium spears felt better than the light spears. Especially ele. Obviously I was doing crap with rotations and stuff but man did the ele feel clunky. Especially water because I kept launching myself out of the circle. because of a move skill (I believe it was a 3).

[@TheRealTimeline]

All they need to do is speed up some of the cast time to fix the clunky feel of the weapon and it will be great.

[@AirG]

The spear 4 in wvw only does 8 damage, huge letdown.

[@Nebarus]

Really like these short spear/class walkthroughs Muk, thank you :)

[@Bunstonious]

This looks great, aesthetically they nailed the engineer spear vibe! :D

[@Ashendal]

In terms of WvW we ran across a few enemy players running it on Mech with what seemed like a full Trailblazer roaming build and it was painful to fight when they were in a group. If I slacked on condi cleanse it would chunk anyone in my group and we had to start hard focusing any running it down immediately. The ones running it as power on Holo and Scrapper weren't nearly as threatening, but if numbers stay as they are it'll be something condi Engi will probably use consistently as it does great damage and avoids a lot of the projectile hate that makes p/p a bit iffy to use against some setups.

[@merklyz]

I was hoping for a bit of utility, since hammer has reflect and block, but I will still try it after Janthir comes out.

[@Mister5597]

I really liked the engineer spear when I tested it, it brings the Vulnerability and Hard CC that Condi Mechanist lacked, had a lot of fun with my Condi Alac Mech build.

[@wigotheroxxor]

A condition weapon good for quick scrapper ?

[@Northernsolstice]

I was not excited about this one going into the beta but it turned out to be my second favorite. I just love me some condi cleave.

[@RhoVabien]

thanks

[@MisterNo1111]

Yea, sounds like fun🐣

[@culkyy7489]

I wounder if this could contest dual pistol for condi?
