[GUIDE] Spear Warriors

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Lion Roar - MAX this, your AoE stun.

Cloud Sprint - have this skill maxed by lvl60 to get Striding Stroll Sprint

Defensive type skills that should be maxed right away.
