Overview
Spearfield Spirit Walker is a fast, aggressive spear build that never fights alone. Spearfield delivers the main close-to-mid-range spear damage, Vivid Stampede (the Spirit Walker ascendancy skill) adds mobility and lightning area pressure, and a companion package led by Wild Protector plus skeletal warriors, snipers and clerics splits enemy attention while contributing damage.
Mapping is where the build shines — the guide gives it 5/5 there, with 4/5 for league start, bossing and scaling. Single-target is handled by Sniper’s Mark on rares and bosses, Enfeeble for defensive curse coverage, and Wind Dancer for extra defence and sustain.
It is aimed at players who want a momentum-based Spirit Walker with strong map flow and are comfortable keeping several buffs, marks and allies active at once.
Pros & Cons

Cons

- Needs attack speed, leech and companion scaling before it feels fully smooth
- Many moving parts (marks, curses, companions) to manage
- Boss damage depends on positioning and keeping the mark up

Gear & Anointments

A better spear is the biggest single upgrade. Specific uniques and anointments are to be confirmed against the source video and the linked PoB.
Endgame Notes
On bosses, keep Sniper’s Mark applied, keep companions alive, stay mobile and attack during safe windows. Use Enfeeble when packs or bosses hit too hard.
