Its funny how you talk about spear… The only thing you forgot is how unrelyable it is and how low the dps it does compared to other weapons. It was completely useless before the GA nerf because out of 10 player 8 were a 300str ga spammer who will just hit through your abilities with lmb spam while they are in full grid mode.

spear dps isn’t bad, the annoying part was aiming, and tracking. Which they increased in the last update, not sure how well it tracks now.
the other problem with spear is its dex/str.
one big advantage GA had was that it has the same stat as WH. WH/Spear str build, spear is going to suck dmg wise.
that said, there is nothing especially difficult about spear, its pretty straight forward.
maybe the use of feints and greater range of the heavy attack. But great axes longer cooldowns, shortened rush dmg boosts, probably equal that.
this game has generally simple attacks, its more about timing/spacing
this is only in duels though, otherwise the difficulty of melee is just chasing people

only on the heavy attack tho which is massively telegraphed and has a long charge up. not exactly hard to dodge 
nice
How did you get that from “I do get the bow players… it is a learning curve to aim and it is hard to hit moving targets in 1v1”?
Didnt you level your reading comprehension skill irl?

Now you not only can’t read “almost”, but also can’t understand figures of speech.
So much to learn. Poor guy…
because all weapons have the problem that the hits sometimes not registered, that isn’t a special thing of the spear.

nope even the light attacks track like hell.
ever compared Gaxe and VG light attacks? yeah VG goes a lot further with a ton more tracking.

Against mobs? Sure. Same as every weapon. GA is slow and clunky, it’s why everyone runs medium on GA. You practically required to dodge cancel AA at this point to hit any moving target, kind of toxic how they over nerfed. Plus desync is a massive problem with GA SS and hatchet, spear and rapier don’t have this problem nearly as bad as the other three.

This is why grit should be reserved to con, not Str. Str shouldn’t have a resistance to CC that’s just silly on the devs part.

have both weapons at 20. VG light attacks do track way too much ye, the lunge however is only really massive on the heavys and yes it should probably be nerfed. however you have seen what the lunge nerf did to GA. its almost useless in competitive 1v1 now.
and like i said the heavy VG is pretty easy to dodge.
