Hi Rosscaico, it's not quite as strong this patch. You can still find the spear build in the variant tab at the top of this build page.

thank you for the reply! but i want to ask if there's anyone tested how much dps it can deal this patch? i heard people saying it's 38k which is really bad, but i also heard some one on youtube said it could be 43k? my own testing i feel like the dps drops a lot but i dont know if it's just me not doing a good job, also i dont know if i should use elemental celerity on fire roation (after they fix the bug) to deal more burst damage?

Hey! Spear Tempest can do over 43k atm, though nobody is grinding it and that's just as far as I got within a few pulls. For Catalyst it should be similar or slightly lower, but we don't have much to go off of.
