Bypassing weakness on wearying spear

Try this out, I just won 10 consecutive in RA with it. Match 10 was won with only 3 characters, one of our team ragequit right at the beginning. I think it is very strong, it combines good damage with condition overload. Your character is virtually immune to conditions thanks to plague signet. In fact, conditions like blind and poison help your team as you throw them onto the enemy with 40% increased duration.

[build prof=P/N name="Plague Signet" spear=10+1+1 command=8+1 leadership=11+1 curses=6][Anthem of Flame][Chest Thumper][Barbed Spear][Wearying Spear][Plague Signet][Leader's Comfort][Aggressive Refrain][Resurrection Signet][/build]

Use Anthem of Flame first, then Aggressive Refrain, the Anthem will refresh the Refrain when it ends. Keep spamming this throughout the battle. When you engage, try to use Plague Signet on your target of choice first to transfer your Cracked Armor to them (28 second duration!), then hit the target with Chest Thumper to deliver instant Deep Wound and Burning. Follow with Barbed Spear to provide Bleeding to cover the previous conditions. Use Wearying Spear for great damage and Plague Signet again to throw the weakness, cracked armor, and other conditions onto the enemy. After a few seconds your target should have Cracked Armor, Deep Wound, Burning, Bleeding, and Weakness and possibly more if they put some conditions on you. :-) Make sure to tell your healer not to worry about conditions on you, they will waste energy removing them and reduce your effectiveness. well...teh prob here is similar to mighty throw...
u spend time casting plague sending (1s everytime)
which u could be spending attackin and building up more adren instead

u could jus bring 2 lesser attack skills that add up teh same dmg bonus as wearying does while building up more adren for other skills

comparing it to mighty throw...
if u ias mighty throw with fa or fgj
u basically insta recharge it on attack

so every attack ur gettin teh +40dmg bonus...
but still...its some pretty lame dmg imo due to its slow attack speed

its similar to flare spam...repeating strike spam...etc
none r all that very effective

I'd take out leaders and put in some kind of daze imo Agreed, but in RA you can't count on having a healer on your team, so I was carrying Leader's Comfort. :-\ For more organized teams you could sub in more offense (e.g. Spear Swipe, Holy Spear, Harrier's Toss) and remove the self heal. This build worked pretty well against the monks I came across (typically WoH) and others with condition removal (rangers with Mending Touch). Sure they can heal themselves and/or remove the conditions but you can reapply all of them for free. Then it becomes a war of attrition which they are probably going to lose. I can say that the immunity to Blind was very useful. :-)

none r all that very effective Yes but in that 1s you are removing all conditions on you (ie. blind and others) while giving the enemy 28s of Cracked Armor and 8s of Weakness as well as all of the other conditions that were on you. Totally worth it IMO. I killed a lot of warriors and dervs and sins face to face, it worked pretty well.

not teh dps from wearying spear
primary condition control, secondary dps

melandrus d/p and a/p crit spear works,
cuz they spend all their time attackin pushin out dps
primary dps, secondary condition control

teh plague signet build can work,
but unless ur sending back poison/deepwound/blind/etc
its effectiveness is limited
i.e. if ur not bein attacked, its effectiveness is reduced (like riposte wars)

The Melandru derv can't be in form all the time, and the Assassin's Remedy sin can have the enchantment stripped off. The only way to stop the condition immunity of this character are things like Rust, Ignorance, Signet of Humility. The OP wanted a good way to make use of Wearying Spear without the drawback and I think this does what was asked, and then some.

its pretty good in that its fairly self-sufficient

especially in ra
i mean conditions overrun ra...
if rc was buffed to self-target, like woh...
u'd find it bein heavily used in ra

but....if u refer back to teh op...
hes aksin for a way to keep up nice dps

and i think if u were to take ur build to teh master of dmg...
u'll find that the dps is decent at best

u'll find that the dps is decent at best I'm sure that there are builds with higher DPS, but remember that blind or weakened physical attackers (or crippled, if you're melee) have close to zero DPS. Aside from raw damage and permanent +25% IAS you also have bleeding, burning, and cracked armor which either add degen or increase damage by lowering armor. Collectively these do a pretty good job of killing higher armored targets along with the squishy ones.
