Sounds sooo good. Definitely a build that I want to try myself!

Aww. Towards the end I was hoping you'd read the article/news post on the 1st batch of spear previews (guardian, necro, ranger)

Oh haha! I didn't want to go back, since I wasn't sure if people were interested in seeing me go through that article, but I could do it for the last batch.

15:05 You were right about ele skill :D, I was not! :P

Haha that's okay! It's still always just fun to theorize.

Thief the clear winner in this preview but damn am i enjoying all the spear skills (on paper) and all the animations, looking forward to the 20th for the final 3, Rev, Ele and Mes....these 3 will all be magical in some way for sure which is prolly why they kept them for last, complex skills, 4 elements for ele, revnant legendary stances interaction perhaps and mesmer clone/phantasm shenanigans

Oh, I totally didn't even think about Revenant legends. I do hope they make these last 3 really interesting and intricate. I'm really curious for the Elementalist since that I'll be a LOT of skills.

I really hope they learned from weapon mastery and the new axe and made it so spear isn't only going to be worthwhile on deadeye by spending initiate and spamming malicious stealth attacks. The new combo system looks great and hopefully will be less spammy as a result.

Yes, I can agree on that!

I don't think the warrior spear will have difference in damage depending on the proximity, it's just a matter of single target/multiple targets, and you need to position accordingly

Yeah you are probably right

So basically Skill 2 and Skill 3 have 3 varients (ill call them A B C in my exmaple). 2A and 3A. (lead) Press Either... Its now 2B and 3B. (follow up) Press Either... Its now 2C and 3C. (final) 4 and 5. Get bonuses depending on the 2C or 3C? i think

Correct. That seems to be the way it's gonna work.

Actually nah. Fire/burning is still the strongest condi. Which is why Willbender Pistol-wielding guardian works so well.

Well, yes burning is the strongest condi, I agree, but I still think torment has taken a major role when it comes to many of the condi builds nowadays.

@@bilaliqbal4012 which is a shame in my opinion. I would love to see a focus on poison at some point in time and that was my original hope for the specter specialization, which unfortunately got a focus of torment. It seems a little unfitting since I think the shadow magic part of the thief (which is the spiritual successor to the assassin who used a lot of poison) could have a really cool way of using poison and make it stand out amongst the condi builds. This would also help with synergy with other weapons since the only weapons the specter can realistically use are axes (new addition) and scepters, so you lose out on a lot of build crafting since none of the other weapon sets have a focus on torment. While yes, we do get a lot of poison in the setup, the big focus of the specter is still torment. It's unfortunate but oh well I guess.

I'm okay with it still. I would like some smaller illusionary wings that I can dye gold. I'd be happy with that alone.
