Specializations
Variants
- could be useful against ranged enemies. Whether you've picked Staff, Shield or offhand Sword, this trait will get you some value against projectile users.
Variants
- could be a significant damage increase if you can afford to play with fewer cleanses.
Variants
- makes it easier to set up bursts, but costs quite a bit of your sustain.

Equipment Variants
Relics
- - better CD recovery and a bit of extra healing. Decent defensive choice even after the nerfs.
Runes
- - it's like Reaper but a bit less tanky in exchange for offering higher boon duration.
- - higher damage.
- - better sustain without sacrificing much damage.
Relics
- - more consistency on your hard hitting skills.
- - higher burst potential.
Consumables
Food options
- - a very strong defensive option which improves your endurance regen and adds a bit more damage. Highly recommended due to relic and trait synergy.
- Budget version:
- - passive damage mitigation and great stats.
Utility
- or .
Usage
To be added

Ratings
I prefer Staff with Dagger, but this Spear build is a close second. Doesn't have the boon removal of the other build, but it can bruteforce its way to victory using Destruction of the Empowered on Discipline. Has a solid amount of everything - damage, CC, mobility, healing.
