The skill trees look to have changed...would you mind doing the skill trees again on new world data base and putting a link in here...Thanks!

Just 2 notes: Spear benefits more from 350Str because of the follow up 2 light attacks Keenly jagged unfortunately is a dead perk now since its only applied once per target and since tanks are mostly using butcher there is no need for DPS to Run keenly jagged any more. So it should be enfebleing skewer/bleeding sweep + attunement + vicious/rogue

[@zombles3084]

Thanks, yeah as I mentioned, 350str gives more dmg for every atk you will do besides the first light attack in it's combo - so it's the best DPS option at no con. If you run 50con or more though DEX>STR becomes the higher DPS option I mention attunement being a better option, but unless you're crafting it, it's a lot easier to get KJ, your only other option really is KE which I wouldnt recommend over KJ in most scenarios

Thank you

Would recommend to Take the slow passive in the right spear tree and dont Skill the Last Point in skewer, you basically maintain the bleed with the additional debuff duration for normal attacks

[@zombles3084]

interesting, I agree the +5s on skewer is kind of pointless, but why choose the slow? If anything I would recommend the +20%dmg vs grit perk or any of the stam perks on the left tree I only suggest skewer because it'll increase uptime vs multiple targets if your group is slow at clearing

[@Charlesweed]

Maybe I missed it but what gems do you run on your gear

[@zombles3084]

Good question - that's more specific to the mute element you're running in. You essentially want to fully gem against the mute element while also running the element specific protection on your ammy. Fire mutes hit the hardest. So if it's a fire mute run all rubies, nature - arboreals, void - amethysts, ice - aquamarines. That's only for the armor, I wouldnt suggest runeglassing them either because you lose ele protection for a little bit of dmg, and you may often replace them on each mute rotation. For the weapons I just run diamonds with a runeglass for an ele dot, doesn't matter which one as long as no one else has the same element runeglass dot
