Mechanics[edit]

  • The passive component applies the Spear of Justice.png Virtue of Justice effect on the player character.
  • The Spear's visual effect is changed when using a Legendary Weapon that modifies projectile attacks.
  • The in-game tooltip only shows the passive burning duration; the active duration is 2 seconds in SPvP and WvW.
  • The cripple effect occurs during the active effect.
  • The damage dealt by this skill uses the weapon strength of the currently equipped weapon.
  • Enemy leaving tether range, can sometimes still be pulled for a really small duration
  • Casting pull from higher ground in WvW or SPvP, can cause enemy to fly upwards in the air and take falling damage.
