It's funny, because outside of Spear Swipe, all these changes are kind-of needs to the weapon in PvP. But healthy ones imo. So these are 100% (on paper) welcome changes. The only thing I'm skeptical about is the fact that Cal *specifically* called out that "Spear doesn't do more damage based on range" in the first preview. Let's hope "Doing more damage to the first target" doesn't end up being an excuse to cull the base damage and leave it unusable like Rifle or Bladesworn. 😁
I'm so glad we're moving from cc spam to evade spam, this is how things are made more fun, at least you can press buttons. I'm being sarcastic of course, but I do worry about how much and how often you'll be able to evade with warrior spear, especially on spellbreaker, which was already at the point where I groaned when I saw it in the beta just because it was so annoying.
Bladesworn needs a lot of fixes and/or reworks. But i wouldn't mind if bladesworn was better with rifle than with spear. It's both a thematic and mechanical fit (with the ammo) and god knows rifle needs some love too.
I wonder if they actually put the effort to add a single boon or additional functionality to the other weapon skills or if they just fixed tracking and said that's good enough. Self-cc on reflects with spear swipe will probably still be a thing cause it's not like they played it. They saw some god of the arena spb spamming evades and deemed it strong. No shit Sherlock, a weapon and spec which guarantee 4+ evades without actually pressing the dodge is gonna be powerful. That's not good .

Thanks, Mr. Face. :)

I am now picturing on my mind bunker SB sitting on point with infinite dodges. Overall the changes to spears for all professions sounds good on paper.
They listen and make changes we like... leading up to the next xpac. After that drops, we won't matter again. 🎉😂
Dont worry spear swipe will have a refresg cooldown just like leg specialist to nerf it with out you knowing
"They're fixing rifle" when?
And Bladesworn is still so uncooked, that you can't even use the new weapons with that spec
But we could if the spears blew up.... Janet, make the spears blow up.
Bladesworn needs a lot of fixes and/or reworks. But i wouldn't mind if bladesworn was better with rifle than with spear. It's both a thematic and mechanical fit (with the ammo) and god knows rifle needs some love too.

good, now fix/improve the outdated Warrior weaponskills 😂
I was absolutely expecting them to nerf warrior spear after that first line about "strong option in PvP". thank goodness
