FAQ
Q: Can the Bastion Spear roll legendary? A: Yes, on Hard mode. Legendary adds a fifth stat (typically +HP or +Multistrike).
Q: Is the Bastion Spear worth keeping past Lv 80? A: No — swap to the Pact of Stone Spear for the better stats. Save the Bastion Spear as an off-hand for Paladin tanking builds.
Q: Does the +12% Guard duration stack with talent bonuses? A: Yes — it’s additive with talent-based duration bonuses, multiplicative with Bulwark passive.
