Rapid Shot 17/17
Waiting to get defensive spikes.

#26I use knuckles as a main weapon, bow equip, rapidshot charge, knuckleblades on------mobs health------->0There is no point to spear once you reach level 60 and can buy knucks.
2 reasons:
1. rapid
2. shot

#27On my spear ranger I still use my bolas, but not in the way you might think. Since my spear is a melee weapon I need something to pull mobs at range. What I do is keep my bolas only at 1 skill point and use it to pull mobs into melee range. It works great.

#29Im with eliminator on this one.
Coming from a lvl 142 who likes to experiment, if u use spear as main u pretty much have wasted the one useful thing rangers have going for them.....bolas and rabged combat.
You r claiming to solo things that others fight in grps?
I soloed stonechief myself too, and i dared not use a spear.
I wld love for you to attempt that one and last all of 7 seconds (even a lvl 150 spear ranger).
Not sure why you think you can outperform a bow ranger who doesnt get hit.
There is no possible way for you to outdmg me unless its some very short term fighting.
Also spear ranger cannot utilize radiant armor as this involves getting hit , and with zero resists that equals dead ranger.
It would he fair to say that i can solo even mobs that you would need a grp for , not the other way around.
I know a man gets bored but this claim of spear superiority makes me chickle all night.

142 Ranger
Entangle
Light heal
Defensive spikes
Rapidshot.
I think with the right balance of dex/vit/str this could be quite usefull and would probbably be able to solo stonechief just as well as a bow ranger.
Ranged combat will still be in effect for the skills i mentioned prior as they all come from the ranged combat section, so that has no stand in this argument.
Someone finish this go and max spear ability try the build 300 dex, 200 vitality, 100stren. Go on a solo spree and tell us how efficient it was how many attempts it had taken you to solo a 5* otherworld place holder, then with bow do the same and give a comparison.
Haven't seen one ranger use spear thourugly yet so lets stop giving thoughts and actually test it?
