Strengths:

- high dps

- 1 button

- explodes everything

- braindead to play

- fun new build

Weaknesses

- EXPENSIVE! but you can drop mageblood for ingenuity and garukhan and have like 60% of the builds power. would need a morior with attribute, res and spirit if you dont use mageblood though, and isntead of attributes on rings, you get res

- not full screen exploding (only around 70-80% of the screen explodes)

- requires semi aiming (you gotta attack in the general direction of the enemy)

Build concept:

- Wanted to play spears and try out gemlings new alt quality node, and only wanted to press 1 button so looked through everything and basically theres only 2 actual good spear skills that fits this, lightning spear and glacial lance, lightning spear has better clear while glacial lance has better damage (twister is a combo skill, which means its trash, 1 button supremacy).

- Problem with lightning spear is its damage is trash, absolutely unusable for bossing. So that just leaves glacial lance.

- Gemling alt quality node also provides tons of qol and damage too.

- That leaves just glacial lance. So to fix its damage, I first need to make it so it never consumes frenzy charges, since most of its damage and clear is from its explosion. Gemling alt qual provides 1% chance to not consume charge per quality. We do this by 23 qual glacial lance, 6% from gemling ascendancy, 5 qual from paragon annoit, 5 qual from amulet, 10% can't consume from eramir idol, 10% from fabled stag on the tree, 25% from perpetual charges, 15% from chronomancy rune mod boots. This makes glacial lance ahve 99% to not consume charges, basically it will never consume charges.

- Generate frenzy charge by freezing with combat frenzy and for bosses just snipers mark at the beginning (BUT thats another button to click! yes yes, this is only for pinnacles, for mapping you have charges always, for pinnacles you can also just hit the boss for a few seconds longer to freeze them before blowing them up)

you need a minimum of 389 spirit to use everything the in pob, 399 for precision which is not needed. dont look at the spirit cost in the pob as its wrong and not up to date.

Pob (red for weapon set 1, green for 2 and follow the gem setups here, drop precision if you dont have the spirit for it): https://pobb.in/czsKH6VV3xVJ

Bossing dps pob (this is to purely see weapon set 2s bossing dps): https://pobb.in/1fpTU7W1bXNZ

builds pretty min max but far from done, with even better gearing, damage doubles

IMPORTANT THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND

- Gem Studded: MAKE SURE to balance this with support gems, dont look at the support gem amount on top of your gem page, its wrong for this node, manually slot in supports until you get all 3 buff. MAKE SURE to have the same exact support in BOTH set of spear stab AND spear throw.

- put your support spirit gems in purity of fire, as it doesnt use spirit for some reason.

- DO NOT use sacred flame, it might give higher pob damage but its damage will be way lower in actuality rakiatas flow.

- Have weapon set 1 spear throw on the hot bar and set snipers mark to ONLY weapon set 2. this way you can dynamically swap between weapon sets by pressing that spear throw for 1 and snipers mark for 2. OR you can just press x to swap between them

- if possible get every gem in the pob to 23 qual, im lazy so i didnt do it, BUT you should.

- use level 1 and 20 qual spark to help get trinity up fast since glacial lance hits slow.

Gearing:

- follow the runes in the pob or ninja

- Weapon: 11%+ crit, high ele dmg or high ele dmg + elemental damage mode, have critical damage or proj/attack skills, high attack speed suffix (technically crit bonus and skills is higher damage, but low attack speed feels bad)

Ask away if you have any questions. I would personally say this is the strongest glacial lance build there is, for a 1 button build that is.
