Spear BM. Need some help.

Touza - Lost City

Hey I just made a new spear bm and I really don't know much about them. I was looking for some guides for them but I only found 1 or 2 and they weren't as comprehensive as I was looking for.

Warmachine's Axe Warrior/Blademaster PvP Guide

This is the type of information I was looking for. Except for a PvP Spear BM obviously. So far my build per level is

Even- 3str 1dex 1vit
Odd - 2str 2dex 1vit

I wanted to know what my build should end up as. Also, what equipment should I aim to get at endgame, where should my vit be capped at, etc.

Oceanuss - Sanctuary

The exact question i'm asking to. And if possible can someone also include in the spear bm guide what the skill points on each stat should be every 10 levels and what skills need to be learnt/mastered at which levels.

I've currently been doing the following every time i level:
3 str, 1 dex, 1 vit.

Currently i'm level 8
Have I ruined my skill build for spear already?

Thanks

No, but at level 40 or so both of you will want to start laying off vit a little or even completely. Im 36 right now and have 37 vit, I have stopped until 80 or so.(Ive got 1.8k hp which is good for me right now, I may just get it to 40 cuz I feel like it ) As for a guide, I seem to remember an old one buried way back in the forums, try the search function.

I have played a Spear Warrior on the older Delphi server for some time, here is a guide that I had found, and the orginal writer of it game me the go ahead to pass it along. Keep in mind, this was from Delphi, so some of the terms might not be what you are use to, if need be, I can tell you what ones are what. As well as post some stat charts for as you level.

Spear Warrior Guide by Draztik

Ive been playing Spear warriors for a long time - in the MY-CN version - and am a spear warrior now.

Spear warriors have a total of 3 AoE's from their mastery, and yes they are all aoe's that attck in a straight line(except for the final skill). You may have to line your mobs up for your AoE's to be effective. Once you hit lvl49 and get Meteor Rush(the knockback AoE) things will start to go more smoothly in PvE. You can start to line them up and use your other 2 AoE's - Frantic Draco slash and Cleaving Splash - knock them all back, and repeat when the mobs return to you. You will see how effective this is.

Spear warriors in PvP, imho, are actually one of the best...as long as you make it a PvP build - and by pvp build, meaning you need a good amount of AGI and CON. The usual PvE build for spear warrior is minimum requirements for your weapons and the rest in Con. The PvP build for spear warriors is - enough Str to weild a Spear, and enough Agi to weild a Sword, then the rest goes to Con. With that build, wearing jewls that increase dodge, you will be dodging those Heavy melee types quite a bit in PvP. When it comes down to fighting Mages, Priests, and Archers this is where your HP and your Long range serves as your defence. Spear warriors have 2 long range attcks - Dragon Emerge, from the universal mastery...and Back Thrust, from the spear mastery. The long range of these 2 skills combined with your stuns and bleeds, will murder those running Mages. Since mages, archers, and priests, have such low HP...it is important that you use your 2 bleed skills since they stack - the first bleed skill is Short Burst, and the second is Whisk Stab from the spear mastery - and dont forget THESE BLEEDS STACK!!!!.

Spear Wuxia: Tactical type Wu Xia, hit hard but most importantly, HIT SOMETHING. Most spear skills are very useful and tactical. Spear Wu xia are like transformers, they can become Sword types anytime they want and wear light armor


Mini Guide


I will explain 2 Spear warrior builds to you, and I would advise that you choose one - PvP build, or more towards PvE.

So lets start with the PvP build for a spear warrior(which is my build now). For STR you only need just enough to weild your Spear, for AGI you add enough to weild a one-handed Sword(not blade), and then the rest goes to CON. You should wear dodge type jewls with this kind of build for it to be really effective.

Now for PvE builds its quite simple, STR/CON build are the way to go. So for this build you add just enough STR to meet the weapon requirement, just enough AGI for the weapon requirement, and the rest goes to CON. The type of jewls you should be wearing is phys defence jewls.

You may be wondering why you need CON so much, simply because it keeps you alive. You may not notice how affective CON is at your lvl, but when you reach around lvl55+ you will see how much CON really is important because for us Spear warriors CON and our long range serves as our defence against Magics.

Now here is a list of what you should be using and what should be maxed.

( Draw Blood ) Short Burst(bleed) - very good when maxed - can stack with your other bleed skill to really hurt those low hp types.

( Aeolian Blade ) Aeolian Blade(stun) - MAX this for sure - has a 50% chance of stun when maxed, great dmg, perfect for both pvp/pve.

( Piercing Winds ) Whisk Stab(AoE bleed) - this is your other bleed skill which can stack with your other bleed skill. both combined is a great DoT - leave it at lvl2 till lvl60.

( Farstrike ) Back Thrust - your ultimate long ranged attck - lvl this up right away, this will be your main skill - your perfect attck against long range types and awesome dmg - at max lvl shoots at a distance of 15.0 m.

( Drake's Ray ) Dragon Emerge - your other long range attck from the universal tree - max this for good dmg - this acts as a great filler while your other long shot cools down.

( Fan of Flames ) Frantic Draco Slash(half AoE) - this does not have to be maxed, it is just a prerequisite for Cleaving Splash - keep this at lvl 5

( Drake Sweep ) Cleaving Splash(AoE) - MAX this for sure, this serves as your main AoE attck, great dmg.

( Meteor Rush ) Meteor Rush(AoE knockback) - MAX this - your greatest grinding skill, the knockback AoE. Tactic for grinding: run around to lure mobs, when gathered quickly use Cleaving Splash, Frantic Draco, then knock the mobs all back with Meteor Rush. When they return to you your AoE's should be cooled down - then repeat.

( Glacial Spike ) Frost Glacier(ultimate AoE) - MAX this - now this is the skill im talking about - the pride and joy of Spear warriors. This is your ultimate AoE attck which you get at lvl59. It lowers the phys and mag defence of your opponents, thus making your next few attcks A LOT more painful to your enemy. This skill costs 2 fury points so it wont be used as much as your other skills.

( Roar of the Pride ) Lion Roar - MAX this, your AoE stun.

( Cloud Sprint ) Cloud Sprint - have this skill maxed by lvl60 to get ( Will of the Bodhisatva ) Striding Stroll Sprint

Defensive type skills that should be maxed right away.

( Aura of the Golden Bell ) Auric Shell Barrier
( Alter Marrow Physical ) Muscle Alter Sutra
( Alter Marrow Magical ) Marrow Alter Sutra
( Diamond Sutra ) Diamond Sutra

Pacman - Harshlands

Thats a good stat point guide but it may be a bit hard for a person that play the international version to understand the MY version of the skill names.

taleon

is why I mentioned above that I would convert the names all over. just did not have the time then, will convert the names in () when I can

taleon

edited the post to have what I believe to be all the correct names, I will check again tonight when I get home and have the game running. I do not agree with all of the Guide as it is written, Magic Body should go no higher then Lv 4, or it will allow to much removed from Phys Def.
My Blade Master on the Delphi server does very well with the build above, my Current build on the Int servers is running a little higher Con right now, but I will be tapering that back come level 60-70. Hp stones for your armor can help if you want to stick the stats I have listed above, I have always before looked for armor with accuracy and +Hp regen on it, seems to help with run more non stop grinding.
