CyberDoedel: Thank you for making this video, fellow human. I, too, like gen 3 bacon.

MadTawnyOwlet: I've been testing it out too, although purely in pve. It's kinda fun but definitely feels a bit too weak and janky. I've noticed the awkward pauses in between skills because of stealth immediately stopping my attack chain.

Hopefully it gets a bit more refinement and a damage increase otherwise I can't see it being a great pick amongst all the other weapon options.

tbull1663: I find it really strange that the flip skill also puts the regular version on cool down, yet every other flip skill for spears (and in general) does not do that. Hopefully they change that cause it feels clunky in it's current form

traviscue2099: Spears are so hard to judge right now. I hope Condi Ren doesn't get nerfed into the ground. I like how it feels, but it's certainly OP

TWKPixelHero: The biggest flaw is the stealth seemingly interrupting the skill queue. If you press the 5 and the skill you want to empower too fast, it just doesn't execute it. Instead you stand there in stealth doing absolutely nothing. Instead you have to use the 5, WAIT, and then use the skill. Sure, I can get used to that, but the number of times I've found myself just standing there in stealth doing nothing with the skill icon I wanted to use and pressed unused and flipped is infuriating.

majked: Spear is good... As 2nd weapon.... Underwater. Thats it

baronoke5432: Thanks for the video! Just in time for my food. Are you going to do the spears on other profession?

pantheraleo2: I was really betting on there being a stealth relic, a replacement for rune of the trapper if you will, on launch. Still quite possible for a quarterly update, or as a trait with a balance patch (maybe in Wilderness survival, bringing camouflage back). I also imagine a gimmick duo build with blood moon, lingering light, and celestial shadow in Druid, and Quick draw in skirmishing that is just daze and stealth spear spam, but relies on there being an ally to heal to reduce cooldown on cele avater for stealth.

boutch1993: For me, this weapon is meant to be a power weapon with a lot of utility. You can be in stealth a good amount of time, and that is pretty amazing if your build has a good amount of toughness amd you're targeted most of the time because the mobs usually trade their target for a brief time and you have free opportunity to burst. So, I can see this weapon not as the strongest, but a more versatile approach to encounters, especially if the mobs are not stationary, as it gives us ranged/melee mix, stealth, stun etc. For me, maybe it's the most fun weapon atm.

theuntamedsensei: I main power quick untamed and to me (without arcdps) it feels weaker to me too. I’m currently using hammer / spear

missk1697: So the weapon is pretty much useless in pve and wvw, and it's only really useful in the least popular game mode. Gz devs.
