How is this build in solo play?

Just hit level 60 and am struggling very hard against Shattering Mountais mobs. I'm getting battered in lvl 61-62 areas using a Great Axe/Hatchet build and since I have level 20 Spear and Warhammer figured I might try it out. Not sure if my current 504 GS is the cause of the problem, though lol 

Its not bad at all!  some problems with the build is lack of grit in PVE so when soloing you have to be good at dodging/timing stuns etc.  With your build (GA/Hatchet) I would try to hit 300 STR for the GRIT perk

Very good guide. I was sort of making a spear / something (either warhammer or hatchet) build for Isabella´s DG when I found this. Helped a lot, been tons of fun. Running my version of this since then with very good results (I use corrupted ward and luck on all armor/jewelery and slot in the weapon perks as I can).  tks!

MASTER OF REND

Master of Rend build is a New World Spear/Warhammer build that allows you to not only do Top Tier DPS but also provide Elite utility to your expedition group.   You will be keeping up max rend stacks and using the CC on Warhammer and Spear to maintain Crowd Control on trash mobs.

Stat Distribution
150 STR 250 DEX 100 CON
NOTE - you can move 50 STR to 50 CON if having trouble with survivability. 

EQUIP WEIGHT - Medium
Medium Equip Weight works well with this build for two reasons:
1.) Increased Dodge availability for Spear DPS Rotation
2.)  Since we are running 100 CON, Medium Armor adds additional survivability through increased Armor Resistance.

NEW WORLD GEAR PERK PRIORITY

SPEAR - (Vicious>Keenly Empowered>Enchanted)
- Positioning allows you to drop Keen for Enchanted, allowing you to get a little bit more damage on your light attacks during your spear dps rotation

WAR HAMMER - (Penetrating Wrecking Ball >Keenly Empowered> Vicious)
- Although you usually want to put your weapon perks on your armor, Your War Hammer in this build is mainly used for CC and Utility.   Keenly Empowered and Vicious can give a slight boost to damage here while applying your cc/utility since you will most likely be applying these from behind as well.
