Why All DeadEye Are Playing Spear?

is there something wrong with the design of weapon and skills?

should we have some "weapon specialization passive points" in each ascendency class?

Spear is popular because its the newest weapon class added to the game. Also something about lightning spear is good i hear.

And restricting classes to 1 weapon class hinders build customization. My melee witches would not be happy.

It is not about the weapon, it is about the skill lightning spear. The skill is basically too good. No matter the class or ascension, it is the top skill for the top builds.

This is the lightning spear league and anything else is second tier.

Last league a few ascensions dominated, this league one skill is dominating. There is class diversity though, as every class is trying to figure out how best to leverage lightning spear. All ascensions are endgame viable as long as they use lightning spear.

Lightning spear is the best skill in the game, and deadeye is arguably the best ascendancy in the game.

Saw a lvl97 invoker monk using lightning spear + other spear attack abilities. A class thats designed to be close combat and mobile, forced to be ranged for safety.

Not to mention every 5 minutes someone is linking a Tangletongue spear in global.

Class diversity my ass.

Look at the time lost jewel. Only one to have 10% crit damage + 10% weapon specific crit damage per notable in range seems like it’s busted just from that.

You can’t roll double crit damage of any other weapon mod in the entire game.

The reason why Belton was freaking out about it isn’t just the 300%+ crit damage possibility from one jewel. It’s also because that jewel is so statistically cracked that even in a build using 100% adorned and perfect corrupted jewels you still cut a slot and path all remaining nodes for that jewel.

That jewel is so broken it literally is worth devoting your last 20-30 points to it even in a magical Christmas land perfect adorned build

There isn’t even anything remotely as influential for dps output than that jewel. It’s actually insane.

Whoever approved of double crit damage mod on time lost jewels with 25% bonus to nodes as a seasonal mod, was a clown.

Statistically speaking every single class should be running spear basically except minions maybe?

What jewel are you referencing? I tried to look it up and couldn't get it to show.

because of the frenzy ascendancy tree, you can build around the anaconda skill to one shot bosses.

All the people saying it's because LS have not played LS...

All the deadeyes are playing spear because of the ascendancy nodes Avidity and Thrilling Chase.


This paired with ice lance / wind serpend snake, gun shots bosses...It's because right now the consuming charges combo effect is very powerful and the fact that you can literally get 7 charges easy just with the tree on deadeye , getting them in full and beeing able to get twice the benefit of them and pair that with perpetual charges and you can literally gun shot everything on the map while having always full charges...

Amazon has a though time even with combat frenzy and 100% crit whatever shananigans to keep up the charges up, while the deadeye just get's them once every 3 throws with combat frenzy and almost 100% crit...Pair that with cast on crit and mark and yea you get the drift.

So no it's not because of LS, LS is only used for clearing, LS even with fully charged volt hit's bosses like a wet noodle...so it's not because LS IS MEGA SUPPER POWERFUL ..... But yet again 90% of people on the forum are crying cuz t2-t3 maps are too hard so what can you expect from them seeing how LS clears and they do not know how to scale their hammer warrior

because Ranger is toughtess than hunter. the hunter is too vunrabel. It is the result of creat a passive tree with no max life points, and also lack of good evassion rate. 99.9% the toon evade nothing.
