Spear PvP Builds for New World

In PvP, the Spear is notorious for its abundance of single-target crowd-control options. These abilities are complemented by its burst damage opportunities and array of debuffs it can apply to targets. If you are looking for a weapon with a high skill cap and can control the pace of fights, the Spear is a great option.

This capitalizes on the crowd-control effects of both weapons to dive into backlines, pick one target, and hit them with crowd-control effects while using windows of opportunity for quick bursts of damage. This is for players who like having a high level of control in a fight.
