Skill Bar
Weapon Variants
Players that own Janthir Wilds can use Spear. This is similar long-term DPS, but the burst is lower and the weapon is incredibly visually noisy, making it difficult to see mechanics.
Sword/Dagger can also be used by players that own Secrets of the Obscure.
Scepter/Dagger is the best choice for players that don't own Secrets of the Obscure or Janthir Wilds, and also has the benefit of doing good damage at range.
Skill Variants
Healing
- provides good healing in low damage fights (i.e. fights where you never press your healing skill).
- for a strong group heal.
- if extra condition cleanse is needed.
Utility
- On non-hammer builds, should replace or :
- can be swapped to for higher burst.
- can be pre-cast in fractals then swapped to another skill for extra damage.
Elite
- can be pre-cast in fractals then swapped to another skill for extra damage.

Spear Rotation
Spear's unique mechanic is its Etchings. The five-skill in each attunement places a large symbol on the ground. This can be immediately reactivated to launch an AoE attack, but a more powerful version can be charged up by using three skills while inside the symbol. As such, the general principle will be to quickly activate the Etching, followed by at least three skills, then the enhanced attack from the Etching.
It is worth noting that while you need to remain in the Etching symbol to charge it up, the damage can be aimed up to 1200 units away.
In order for to be available each loop, the Fire traitline is required.
