Spear PvE Builds for New World

In PvE the Hatchet is known for its simplicity and extremely high single-target damage. It is one of the easiest weapons to play, and can still do moderate amounts of AoE damage. Its single-target output is complemented well by its amazing survivability. Often times, the secondary a Hatchet is paired with is strictly used for clearing trash packs and AoE damage.

This is one of the best PvE builds currently. Either the Spear or Hatchet can be a primary damage weapon depending on the type of damage you need for your expedition. It really shines for its single-target DPS. It has a plethora of options to apply large amounts of Rend, DoT's, and then easily pump damage with its light attacks. For trash packs, it has AoE crowd-control and moderate damage output, but it can easily take one target down at a time.
