This is a spear build using piercing as it’s main source of damage and physical as it’s secondary source. Using the recommended armor pieces, the build has a lot of extra skills that allows having many skills and not all of them need to be allocated max points in order to have the maximum effectiveness.
While leveling, max out Battle Awareness, Rally, Shield Charge, Colossus and Take Down, Art of the Hunt, Study Prey. The skills shown below account for increased skill points from the selected armor. If you need extra skill points, remove points from Quick Recovery, Disable, Pulverize and Call of the Hunt.
Use the best items you can find in your playthrough that compliment the skills being used. You most likely won’t find all the items listed in this guide, and that’s ok, it will perform regardless. The items are just a nice bonus.
This will be your starting class, unlock each of the starting skills in the first tier, feel free to put a few extra points into each before continuing the mastery tree. Once you’re comfortable, head into the next mastery tier, and repeat the same steps, unlocking each skill before moving on. Just about all skills in the Defense mastery are used, so take it slow in acquiring each one.
This will be your secondary class. Defense mastery takes precedence over this mastery. While Hunting is important, put extra points into it as you can, rather then each time you level up. Grab Take Down as it is the first skill you can take. The Hunting mastery has many helpful skills to the build like Art of the Hunt, and Study Prey. When you reach these skills, put a few extra points into them to really capitalize on their benefit.
