StationOfbarny: This would be a perfect opportunity for a plush weapon set where the spear is a knitting needle.
Felana1988: I cannot agree more with the buff bar rework. Keeping an eye on a TINY icon to know when you need to do something or not like Untamed Ambush is hilarity.
markanthion: While I love the ele spear, the weaver dual-skills are a massively missed opportunity to give ele a truly ranged spec (in all circumstances, similar to virtuoso). I hope they will be reworked to enable spear weaver to be a competitive ranged DPS build.

It's regrettable that the most damaging build - spear tempest - requires one to be at close range most of the time, thus defeating the purpose of giving elementalists a 1200 range weapon.
DezzieYT: As a Necro main I've yet to find a compelling reason to replace GS with Spear in PvE (other than the to get the Wizard's Vault achievement). Maybe I just haven't found the right build or rhythm, but I'm 750 kills into the 1000 goal and I'm still feeling "meh" about Spear. It's not bad. I just haven't had a "Wow!" moment with it.
thalandor46: The barely contained giggle as she said Haboob was a beautiful little moment!
b3hold3r: i agree with the mesmer spear. it's also my favorite of what we got
SimonPeel: Ranger spear is jsut so bad. Im lealous of everyone else.
Lanzetsu: To me the Ele feels super weak and it is what most people said TBH, the range is super good but once they are close you are not really having a lot of advantage on anything. Plus other Ele weapons at least cleave in Mele or bounce, or have AoE... while the Spear nope... and I mean Auto Attacks obviously, the only one with Splash is Fire IIRC, the others are Single Target, and only the 2 usually pierces... once you used mainly 2 and 4 (whit those huge cooldowns) you are done, the 5 is your big hit and after that again with Auto Attacks or Rotation ASAP so your DPS doesn't become subpar.
Others in the other hand like Engi are ridiculously good lol, at the point they will nerf them I assume... but for now everyone feels at least fun
AzureBeatPony: Elementalist spear feels like they hate staff so much they had to make a less interesting replacement. Compare staff to spear, and staff has 20 mostly unique skills(water and earth 2 are pretty similar, air 2 and fire 3 as well, but all the autos have different effects), spear is 5 autos, 10 ground target damage skills, 5 stand and spam here, 4 buff me and 1 movement skill. And spear's dual attacks really prove the designers just don't want to think about weaver. Also, the flow of spear doesn't fit into fresh air rotations at all.
gearjacky: I love warrior spear. Most fun I've had of the spears. Big damage, great utility/flow. It makes ranged warrior actually fun.
LunarValkyria: I like that they finally incorporated the assassin combo system into gw2. Makes me think back to my days as a Wa/A dagger build in guild wars 1.
