Sunspear skill

A Sunspear skill is any skill tied to a character's progress in the Sunspear title track. There are currently 11 Sunspear skills: one general skill, and one skill specific for each profession.

Sunspear skills are PvE skills, and thus differ from regular skills in many ways. First, they cannot be used in PvP; all Sunspear skills are marked as PvE-only. This means that they cannot be unlocked on your account and thus cannot be learned with Skill Tomes. Secondly, they cannot be used by heroes. Finally, they are generally more powerful than standard skills.

Note that the stated ranges for these skills only go up Sunspear Castellan (rank 8), but will improve up to Legendary Spearmarshal (rank 10).

General Sunspear skill

The only profession-independent Sunspear skill is the Sunspear Rebirth Signet. This skill is acquired by speaking to Runduk at the Sunspear Great Hall after reaching the rank of Sunspear Sergeant. See the skill article itself for more information.

	Sunspear Rebirth Signet	Signet. Resurrect target dead party member at your location with full health[sic] and 10% energy[sic] for each Sunspear rank you have attained. This signet can only be used once per mission unless recharged by a morale boost.	3

Profession-specific Sunspear skills

These skills are acquired by talking to a Hero Skill Trainer, Pikin (Kamadan, Jewel of Istan), Shiloh (Sunspear Great Hall) or Libeh (Command Post), who offer them separately as sunspear skills. Though the skills each cost a hero skill point to acquire, your heroes cannot use these skills, since they cannot acquire Sunspear rank.
