W/P with spear, can it be done?

Okay, this is my first post, so please be gentle. I was wondering if anyone has made any builds with this in mind? I found a build stub on Guild Wiki
( http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Build:W/P_Ranged_Flail ) that looks to be okay.

Spear attacks with armor penetration just looks so tasty to me But i have no idea how armor penetration stacks, or even if it does .
Would a armor penetration spear skill + a sundering spear + Strength stack?

Any insights/thoughts/build suggestions/advice would be greatly apprecaited.

Noone has any thoughts on this? Come on, I can not be the only one that has considered this?

Strength doesn't stack with skills such as Spear of Lightning, but the Sundering spear would.

As for the build, a Paragon could proberbly do it better with Agressive Refrain replacing Flail, and a Spear mastery rune + Crest.

1 day left until builds wipe, better copy it to your namespace

How bout W/R Penetration with Spear, still same as a W/P?

Okay, that clears up a few things. I have saved the build, and I will do some testing, both with a P/W and a W/P to see who is the most effective.

But I have faith in the W/P build. It just has to be tested and tweaked. Spear has better DPS then most other weapons, and coupled with armor penetration from strength it should be able to hold its own. And the build with W/P would be mostly adrenaline based, with maby one or two skills costing energy, making it durable and efficient in fights. And it would be able to keep up the pressure even in long boss fights and in PvP.

Ill post a build when I have tested it. Allso, if anyone else wants to join me in trying this out i would be most gratefull.

Been down this road many a time.

Armour penetration is nothing compared to 16 spear mastery. And the bonus penetration from strength is only on attack skills.

Just go P/w if you want flail... but honestly AR is much better. Also with only 9 in tactics the heal is pretty pitiful. And you can benefit from a hard rez with p/.

So the only benefit from warrior primary is 20 AL vs elemental??? not worth it.

^ this is a much more effective build than the one you provided a link for:
