Great vid, but pro tip for anything in Janthir open world: Consider taking a sigil of nullification if your build doesn’t already have boon strip. There’s a lot of mobs/bosses out there with protection and being able to strip that makes a big difference.

5 - 2 - 4 - 3 - 5 is especially important on Ele's spear in fire since fire 3 buffs the damage of your next spear skill, which will be your big damage 5

I love this patch. I mained warrior for years and have not been able to get a good patch to make me want to play it again. This spear has revived the class for me and it feels so good. Not too strong but just right in the middle for wvw. And pve side of it is also great. Been hooked and I’m still doing all things on first map only. Anet nailed it with this one.

I’m running staff/spear zerker right now. I just got spear last night and am still getting the hang of it, but staff as an open world weapon feels so good. You have a far better chance of surviving and this, winning tougher encounters. It takes warrior from feeling “okay” on its best weapons and builds and makes you feel a bit god-like when you look at a champion and are pretty sure you can take it down reliably

Thank you for this well-made video and the very good builds. "Fun builds for the open world" and still effective, that's exactly my thing... unfortunately, it's treated rather poorly by many GW2 KZbinrs. Having fun alone or with others is still the most important thing in GW2, at least that's how I see it and luckily my daughter and my girlfriend see it too, the three of us often go out on the maps together as a fun and successful trio. I really enjoy playing the new landspear with my Renegade and am really excited, especially about the spear skill 3 "Abyssal Blitz/Blitz Mines". For a fun and stress-free open world build I like celestial stats plus traveller runes.

Willbender with the alacrity traits and f2 vigor and skill reduction. Sword sword/spear is really fun. Both in open world and wvw. Do your normal willbender things with swords to get to your targets > swap spear > 5,4,3,2 or f1. The alacrity let’s you pretty much stay just in spear, use swords for mobility. Rage/hydromancy on spear feels good. Bring sword of justice for a little range and vulnerability.

Been having a bit of fun with a Vindi spear/shortbow, full Viper with trapper runes and relic of rivers. Having alacrity and quickness 100% uptime is really cool, the open world traits I take are Retribution, Salvation and Vindicator, in fractals, strikes etc. I swap Ret for Corruption. Still pretty new to this game so no legendries yet but ascended has been very easy to obtain and most of my 80's have near complete set's and pretty close to making the Gen 1 spear from the Wizard's Vault which will be a really nice first legendary.

In my Opinion they have to rework a little bit on the Ele Spear. But overall im very very happy about the Ele Spear and i really love it. Much better than my staff i used before. But about the Rework, Spear dont have Blocks or Auras, also only one Condi Cleanse (2 or 3 effects only) and most Skills are Ground Skills with a very small Circle and i would be happy if they change some to make it like Dragons Tooth (Scepter Fire2)

I tried a lot of different things with Guardian spear, as its hybrid support nature makes it not as great for open world farming. It's undoubtedly great for Hybrid Support Celestial Firebrand, replacing Staff, but it's something I use for world bosses and massive events when there's other players to boon and heal. When it comes to damage, I've ended up on Power Zeal Radiance Dragonhunter. Zeal traits along with Spear 3 help stack a lot of might and fury (some of the greatest weak points of DH), and the Spear's overall burstiness fits into DH playstyle quite well. Other weapon is flexible depending on you need, I'm running longbow cause annoying titan mobs, but scepter or greatsword works well too. Power Willbender is not that bad with spear either, but wasn't feeling as exciting and powerful to me.

@leftrom9738 2 ай бұрын

Lately, I have lots of fun with the celestial Vindicator+spear+Relic of rivers build. Has 25k health, tons of resistances, alacrity(from dodging)+quickness; I've never felt so indestructible before, as with this build.

@DjNaste Ай бұрын

Try Herald instead: Corruption 132, Retribution 321, Herald 311, Dragon/Demon stance, full Celestial w/ Trapper runes and Relic of Rivers, Spear w/ Energy/Cleansing sigils. I was a Vindicator stan for a long while, but this Herald build does everything Vindicator does but better (minus the flashy dodge). If you're into food, Meaty Asparagus Skewer and Magnanimous Tuning Crystal.

Was testing a build similar to the one shown in the video for Thief. It is a fun build to play and probably first power build with some cleave since Daredevil with staff came out. Real shame that Specter traitline has no power boost traits so it is not viable dps option in endgame group content.

@moonshinetheleocat1235 2 ай бұрын

I should note that spear is a very init friendly weapon for thief, allowing you to drop trickery for another trait line

What’s frustrating about catalyst is that there is no good way to generate enough energy with the spear to use the jade spheres as often as you should. It just feels much worse than hammer, especially if you want perma quickness for any group content

@artiviser1237 2 ай бұрын

Agreed, Tempest is much better for it. I’d argue even core is better than catalyst in terms of playstyle. Weaver is my favourite playstyle for spear but it’s not the best in terms of numbers sadly

@unclewiggily3007 Ай бұрын

two things on elementalist. first, thoughts on when in air (on your build) actually switching to 5,4,2,3,5 for the cc on 4 to more easily hit the rest of the combo? and also how would you shift to use with tempest? i find i really like the usage of arcane as a second specialization with air, but also find when using tempest im splitting attention as you want shouts for the traits there. think 2 shouts and 2 arcane skills is enough to keep the flow going?

@Vallun Ай бұрын

i liked tempest too, you can find an updated version of that on guildjen,com open world builds, but the main reason to use 2 before 4 is because you can use it once again before swapping out of that attunement

I'm enjoying the warrior spear.. a bit janky but its not comparable to the jankiness that is bladesworn. I do feel like its overtuned... like man even in open world.. for warriors at least*. Spear 3 dazes for 2.5 secs? Good damage. Spear 4 damage stacks fast and its "lingering". Spear 2 is aight. Spear 5 is a meme. I mean.. I don't want a nerf... I only bought the expansion cuz I wanted a new game style since SoTO offered nothing game changing with relics and EoD spec for warrior was dogshit. But man.. spear is fun. Knowing anet, even with that new balance lead... I'm expecting the fun to end soon.
