Today, NCSoft and Amazon Games announced that a new weapon type will be released very soon, on December 5, for the MMORPG Throne and Liberty: the spear.
In a dedicated video, the developers went into what makes it unique compared to other melee weapons already in the game: The spear is a fire-attribute close-range weapon.
Although it's a melee weapon, you can gain combat advantages through its long reach and pocking plays with throwing mechanics.
It enables combo-based combat with fast-tempo skills and has initiating skills that allow you to leap into battle instantly.
Overall, it's a hybrid weapon that can fulfill both Tank and DPS roles – what we might call a Bruiser or Fighter – designed specifically for these roles.
