Every other melee class has a multi target attack. War:Cyclone axe/Hundred Blades.....Ranger: Barrage. I feel that the paragon is more or less a glorified
version of the warrior so give him a mutli target melee attack. This would make him much more friendly to use for those of us who enjoy the warrior class. Even if its a spear attack that hits 3-5 targets which is basically the same as the above noted skills by comparison.

How can a spear attack more than one person at the same time? That wouldn't make any sense. Barrage you shoot multiple arrows, cyclone axe you spin around, etc. There is no way you can hit multiple targets with a spear...

Oh yeah, /notsigned for not being somewhat realistic at all

Well if you break the spear into 5 parts and attach spearheads at the end..but that would take at least 5-10sec on gw's time o.o;

Yea.../notsigned...

Definitely, the skill could be called Splinter Spear...

5 Energy
13 second Cast Time
Split your spear into 5 pieces and attach spear heads to them. Hits up to 5 foes for +10 damage. Your spear is broken forever

Ok, one thing, bows are a ranged weapon NOT a melee weapon, same goes with spears. Spears are very strong and combined with a paragon's natural strength on the battlefield, a multitargeted attack is not needed in my opinion.

In addition, on a purely logical note, when have you EVER seen someone throw multiple spears at one time? Not literally, but in the tribes who hunt in africa, this is not how it is done lol. No, agressive refrain=strong IAS and that is enough.

If you really want this to make playing a paragon more enjoyable comming from a warrior background, you should realize paragons are not warriors, despite many similarities

I would be ok with a multi target attack if it looked like the skill I just made... Lulz

What if it was a swipe attack

eg
Melee attack. Damages target and foes adjacent to target. Deals +20...45 damage.

I would rather see a Spear being able to be used as an actual melee weapon, as well as ranged like it is, and through more then [Spear Swipe]

How about we fix the damage of spears to be less imbalanced?

Cut those numbers in half and you might have something...

Even though I don't think a multi-target spear attack is necessary. Paragons are not exactly like warriors (so they don't necessarily need a multi-target attack), and plus they are good enough as they are.

therefore, /notsigned

Much as I would like it i think it would be a tad overpowered.

I use Holy Spear since its fairly easy to satisfy the condition (at least in EotN where i am at the moment) since the enemy Ranger/Ritualist/Necro's usually provide an easy summoned creature target and it does a shedload of damage if used properly.

maybe because other weapons aren't as strong as a spear?
i dunno how you'd patch this up as a spear that hits multiple targets seriously

Spear in GW is more like Javalin, mid range projectile single target attack only. If Paragon's spear was made to be a close range attack from the bigining, then yes you should be able to attack multiple targets. But that is not the case here, is it?

I have an idea for a skill!

Paragons tantrum

Elite Spear attack. Throw the spear side-ways hit up to 2...4 foes for 10...24 blunt dmg, target foes are knocked down and suffer from Daze for 2...5 seconds.

Throw Wand (Elite Skill)

Throw your want in your enemy. If it hits Deep Would is applied for 3..12s. Wand returns to you when Deep Would is removed.

OK?

Anyways... /notsigned.
