Vindicator - spear should instant cast

[heksemester.2574]

- hello I only play pve, but when ever I use vindi elite the spear casting dude is super slow and hit 20% of all cast times, - i mean - when ever would I use that elite skill if Im faster running?? - instant cast should be on par aka summon

The only change spear needs is its 2k range back, otherwise it's an absolute belter of a move

[Jin.8501]

Cool move but inconvenient to use. 

[Virdo.1540]

it needs its bigger range back, coupled with faster projectile speed.

[Eekasqueak.7850]

I'd be fine with just more range too, things move out of the way too often. 

[Sereath.1428]

It should finish downed enemies on hit.

Or just give it its range back.

Yeah this was a really out of touch change on Anet’s part, just like a majority of that patch (and also completely unsurprising as always)

I'd rather see that skill with a -6 cost over time and archemorus launching the spear to your target every 4-5 secs .

Archemorus is the only legend who has no over time cost energy , making it a bit weird to manage energy on it .

On all other legend you can actively play a cost over time skill and come to near 0 energy when the legend swap is ready , making it very efficient as support (with ventari bubble or soulcleave summit) or damage wise , i don't feel like i am doing more damage with archemorus than with shiro/dwarf.

For the range i agree in pve for a 2000 range , but for wvw and pvp 2000 is a bit too much , can catch of guard very easily.
