To something other than eye bleeding white and to something more warrior like. I know, I know, they said that they aren’t going to pretend that SL didn’t happen. But spear is just so out of place visually its almost jarring.

I wish it still did magic damage. No other complaints.
the amount of times i’ve blocked a ground effect with it to too high, at least add a glyph for it.

I honestly expected they were going to for something more Vyrkul or Thunderlord or Amani for it, now that we’re no longer in Shadowlands.
Heck, in most of these cases, trying to transfer the old Spell IDs to these new DF skills has just created an added hurdles of bugs and class identity mismatch. Why are any of them being kept precisely as they were? It’s not as if we’d be unable to look at the effects and go, “Cool, we’ll still be able to {Shadowlands Ability} (but without it being incohesive anywhere outside of Shadowlands).”
I will be very disappointed if they don’t reskin it for a general warrior theme.
The whole Kyrian fantasy has no place outside of the Shadowlands.
If they don’t outright change it, hope they allow a reskin via Glyph.

Wish there were other options for people who hate spear.
Or do something like increase the radius and make it so 4 or 5 classes can’t walk out of it.

I just want it…
- reskinned for “general warrior theme” (as Berrison put it),
- to hit faster, and
- to have a slightly larger radius.
I’d even be okay with losing the fetters and just knock enemies up and inward upon impact (each victim being knocked in an arc towards the impact center, with up to a second of air-time).
That would seem far more Warrior-esque to me and would have better use against casters (and, with the faster projectile speed, potentially even against Rogues and Monks, as they can’t get any value out of Sprint/Roll/Torpedo during the knock-up and can no longer just avoid the spear completely).
I thought they were supposed to be changing all staying covenant skills?
Yet their only changed priest. I’m personally fine with how spear looks (looks like spirit energy to me) but do think some of the others should change. Like fey line stomp.
Whatever they do I hope they don’t make spear boring as red. 
This is one of my biggest concerns leaving SL and going into DF.
The blue glow overrides other spell effects and makes some deadly mechanics impossible to see, I wish they would change it or add a glyph.
But also the spell name itself makes no sense going forward, we’re leaving the Shadowlands so why is it a warrior’s class fantasy to throw magic arcane spears named after the afterlife? New players won’t even be going to Shadowlands or know what Bastion is.
At least change it to Spear of Skyhold or Odyn to match the class lore outside of Shadowlands.
I made a detailed post about this on the Dragonflight PTR forums, but I doubt it will get noticed since it’s not beta feedback.
