So with the new 185 update and what they're doing with skills it looks V Spear may be a bit more viable for use against appropriate elements.
Assuming the only thing that changes is the damage formula and not the Cast Time/CD formula, then lvl10 + KOS gear will give us no cd and allow for instacast shenanigans.
What do we replace the Poro set with for damage?
We wouldn't need Temp Dex cause lvl 10 V Spear would remove the fixed cast time (Based on current cast time formula), so Temp Int would be the better Temporal boot for damage and the spell enchant would make instacast V Spear a little easier to accomplish then the current instant casts.
Unless there's a Wind Damage boot I'm ignorant of I can't think of any other options off the top of my head.
So then what would we want for our Staff? Do we go for a 2H? Maybe Thorn Staff for the refine bonus on reusage delay?
It looks like the new GH map when using the appropriate dress may be better than Nogg if V Spear is abusable upon the update, so I'm trying to gather some thoughts. I'm not as good at theorycrafting as I once was in this game.
Aside:
I have no clue if we should just be switching to the 6th Sense Ring instead of the KOS gear cause I haven't seen anyone really talk about it on forums and a Guild Member said that the KoS builds were still probably better. That being the case, I still want to know about how we (may) now be able to use V Spear before I hear anything about the 6SR.
