The weapon design itself is fairly understated, and I wouldn't say the visual effects when using them stand out hugely due to the lack of vibrant colours. I can imagine it would look fairly cool with the right cosmetics, perhaps a ghostly necromancer look.
This spear in its own stands out to fit one particular class/spec as if it's custom-made. Initially, looking by its design, colors & animation, it's most suitable for the Revenant & very lackluster on a Guardian. It would've been really amazing if ANet considered customizing this spear for every class.
I feel like calling different spearheads “variants” is some false advertising when you consider what a variant is to a gen 3. Still, I actually really like the design.
Not a fan of the floating spears. I can already tell it'd annoy me alot, it cuts off view of parts of your character and seems very stiff when you're moving around.
Definitely one of the weaker legendaries in terms of visuals but ghost spears aside the variable blades is cool and since every single class can use spears now it's a safe choice for someone wanting a legendary weapon that all their alts can use.
This comment section is filled with droolers who think glowy effects = good skin. This is by far one of the better legendary skins we have, purely because it doesn't look like some thematically terrible impossible to work into any reasonable armour set ball of glowing light and incongruity.
In WoW it would be 1 skin and 3+ spears. You need to upgrade the item level of your green spear 5 times at a vendor. And then run the same dungeon again on higher levels to get a new blue spear to upgrade 5 more times. And when that is done, you run the same dungeons on higher levels to get a new purple spear to upgrade 5 more times. And the skins for those spears would be for sale on the WoW store. Unless they completely change direction and truly evolve the game, I'm done with WoW.
Thanks for the video. The green effects on the necro skills don't fit at all with the weapon itself and the shiny white point of the spear, just looks bad. The skin isn't great either. The spears behind you are very strange. Knowing Arenanet this will not change. More reasons to make the old spear than this one, very dissapointed.
amazing effort they put in designing weapons. too bad they spent all theyre resources on this instead or designing an actual raid wing, not that shitshow 3 rock bosses xD
Not a fan of the blades behind your character, it just looks goofy and calling different spearheads "variants" is a new low for the studio. Not impressed at all.
Calling these spear tip remodels “variants” is pretty pathetic. We’re seeing the downfall of the game due to the forced annual releases in action. Saw the exact same thing happen to dozens of other games.

Love it! Can’t wait to work on this for my revenant! Gonna be perfect for them! :)

3:40 for those who only wanna see the different spears when held
Really looking forward to making this, but no idea how people got it so quick?
tradepost and a lot of gold! A LOT of gold (edited to add, the timegated stuff can be sold on the TP)
Some people got access to the test realm to preview cosmetics apparently.

Should have more of a trail to, for example, replace the necro melee trail. Like how the gen 1 greatswords trail.
they did a good fuckin job on this one boys
Not at all, the mystical skins are better than this
not sure if I love this
Fast one! Whats the crafting list??
Is it tradeable?
Yes.

Even less impressive weapon then showed in their cinematic... .
If I wouldn't know it was legendary, I would have never guessed it
how you get it?
wait a sec... guard 4 has custom animation? thats bit a$$, shark spear has default one...
Can you turn off the "ghost" spears when drawn? Tbh it kinda annoys me ^^"
love it

I miss vanilla Wotlk. It’s was pretty easy expansion in gearing, you just slay undead and be happy. Now it’s just not it
3:54 Wtf is that email plastered all over the screen at
Core tester client
It’s to be able to identify leakers if any footage gets out before it’s supposed to.
You can see it better at 4:05

I feel the same way. They really missed an opportunity to incorporate the class colors into this. It just looks so out of place on some classes

Not amazing but better then the previous leggy spear.
Really underwhelming if you ask me. The design itself is good, but it lacks visual effects if compared with other legendaries.
Fast as fk boi!
Where are the distracting infusions during the showcase? 0/10
yikes
orrible....
Lack of rgb, not interested
