Is this as intended?

Most dps builds are landing around the 43-46k range. That seems to be where the devs are happy with the current power creep. This will definitely be reigned in. If you want it nerfed right this second, then go solo a raid boss with it. That's worked in the past.

Spear is overtuned, will no doubt get nerfed with the Halloween patch.

As always, they leave underpowered and overpowered stuff alone to rot for long times between those patches. If only they could hotfix things instead of letting clear rot spread in the game.

Is it as intended that Rev pushes out 50k + dps without any practice?

Maybe buff a couple other professions to get them on par?

Yea usually when a new sandbox item comes out, one or two builds will suddenly spike in damage up till 50k plus (one of the more ridiculous ones these days were Axe Thief going 62k during beta which blew everyone's mind). Having one or two 40k - 45k builds aren't out of the norm either.  

It usually gets tuned down after a few weeks once "more data is obtained"

I'm expecting stack nerfs or cooldown nerfs for sure. Spear 2 doing a 100% reset for Spear 5 is what causes the damage to ramp hard.

isn't the real problem duration of some torment? That it's allowed to stack higher?

  Probably will be nerfed, hopefully to the extent spear is no longer better than mace & axe but equal, so people which want fun can play the later and masochist can keep rejoycing with the boringness of the spear.  I've reached 70* torment stacks with spear + short bow with a Vindi cele build entirely non optimized to instanced content and Rene raid builds already hit cap stacks so is quite riduculos.

   My problem with the weapon is that once the extra damage gets cheked and trimmed out what  will remain behind is a much weaker design compared to what Mesmer and Warrior have, and with very little use outside PvE.

Edit: (*) actually, I've alreday reached 84 stacks. of torment..
