I am a Glavie.
Is it worth getting the chain spear attack series?
I have debated whether or not to get it.
After voting, it would be helpful to leave a comment or advice.
Thanx.

in my old pure int spear char..i used this combo for pve so much

well in pvp it can be less usefull cuz u might die if s/s or blader kd and stab u too much when u used this combo ....

if u r glaiver then its less effective in pvp but worth in pve....

i dunno why i said no for it..

but thats the opinion i knew

You will use chain spear pluto a shit load in pvp at higher levels.
It's basicly like using a super powerful 400% attack, but your crits won't be doubled... But they'll be multiplied by 1.25...

Hopefully you get what I'm saying :)

But in short: Yes, get them.

Well i have a lvl 38 spear nuker and my friend has a lvl 37 glaver, we talked about it and we relized that the only time we used it was when we where lvl 24, because we didn;t have that much skills so we needed it to fill the gap of time so we could make a never ending chain, but as u get around the 30 + yull never use it, because u get ur spear throw, and the second book of soul spear and such so yull never use it, i say no until u get into the 60s

If you are STR, get them for PvE only.
If you are INT, there is no need.

well i'm a pure int.. and if I get someone that is like 3 or 4 lvl's above me.. then that chain hurts.. cause I can't heal fast enough cause it's so much hits.. 2 of their highest chains and i'm dead.. but against same lvl's it's pretty useless imo... maybe at higher lvl's that will change.. dunno.

ty again for the replies :)

What is the point of getting the chain spear series if you have other skills that deal more damage?

Remember: one big hit > more small hits.

In other words, you don't like the chain spear series?

I did use it sometimes, but never in PvP.
Let me give you an example.
If you are pure STR glaive level 47+:
You can do chain spear shura and do more damage then a Soul Spear Truth. Let's say you crit one hit of the chain. But if you crit the Soul Spear you can do loads more damage in a shorter time.
Do you get my point?

So you can use chain spear in PvE -> it works good for that, but do not use it in PvP.

I find it critical to get massive amounts of crits on an oppenant in a short amount of time...Such as after you stun them.....Also use if you want to drain there hp faster then auto-pot.

Definite must on my pure str builds...
