Make Lightning Spear playable again for 0.4.0! (Also, give some love to Glacial Lance)

C'mon GGG, it got completely gutted, 50% damage reduce nerf? One of my fav skills, make it consuming frenzy charges actually do something useful again.

Same goes for Glacial Lance, needs more spice from consuming charges to make it actually viable. The pierce is nice and the skill looks amazing, but without speccing heavily into Ricochet it's borderline useless.

BOTH of the projectile spear skills being ass RN definitely won't help spears getting back into the market to spice the economy if they stay as is in 0.4.0, since majority of the players prefer a ranged playstyle.

HYPED FOR 0.4.0!!!!

So we can ride rhoas and clear screens with 1 button?

No, we need to gut LA to the level of LS. Not buff LS to the level of LA.

And honestly, I am pretty sure that this is what is going ot happen.

LA nerfed to oblivion, tailwind halved.

And that would leave us only at more gutted skills that nobody picks, as people gravitate en masse to the next big thing.

I'd say it would be better to have MULTIPLE viable skills instead of a singular one that 60% of the players pick in a season and the economy builds around that.

Make lightning spear viable agane!

You do not want "viable skills"

lS is viable. There are lvl 100 people running it.

Tangletong main hand, dreamer right and the world is at your feet.

You want one button low effort screen wide clear.

Which is exactly what LS was last league.

Except that it's not. Got gutted completely, sane goes for tangle. but now I'm repeating myself because you're clearly trolling and arguing in bad faith. Blocked & Ignored

Just because I do not want low effort builds in this game and disagree with you, it doesn't mean I am trolling.

There are people who put time and invest currency in their lightning spear builds, and their DPS goes far into millions of damage.

Clearing everything with a single click.
Both for storm lance and lightning spear.

You just cannot put 1 exalt weapon, mount a roa, and jump into T16 straight from campaign anymore.

And this is a good thing.

Frankly, if you want one key, low effort builds that nuke everything, play PoE1.

PoE2 is going out of its way to not facilitate those builds, and the sooner people get on board with that the less painful it will be for them. They will always crop up because that's the cost of the complexity of the game, but expect them to get nerfed as they should be.

There's a whole slew of builds I have done using "non-viable" skills and they do great once you put some effort into them and don't expect the game to explode just because you pressed one button.

It's funny, because when the 0.3.1 patch came, and everyone was crying about how buffed bosses were, my builds had no problem and barely even noticed a difference. I wonder why...

Lightning Spear is totally fine and in a good spot. You don't one shot Uber Arbiter of course, but for general juiced endgame mapping it is still great. You just need to supplement your set with other skills for the harder bosses.
