wow, dio's is on crack - anyhow, i played an arial staff/spear spec, and did ok in pks, except that I couldn't kill anyone. And for some reason or another, I was a terrible tank against mobs - with all my weapons in at least the 90s, hth at 100, dodge/parry/spin all at 100.. I got ripped apart by mobs when I was trying to rank in the 30s and high 20s In pk situations, I almost always would be winning, but fights lasted forever - People wouldn't hit me very much, and I wasn't exactly dishing out heavy damage. Plus, since you're not doing damage very fast, most people had a chance to run away when they saw that they probably weren't going to win the fight. On the other hand, most people don't have both spear and staff, so you can usually have that advantage, and it's fun hitting 95% of your pugils. Try it if you want - you most likely won't be a powerhouse ( although there were rumors about firegiant staff/mace specs being unstoppable! ) , but it's doable with non-felar classes. Or I could just be wrong about it all.. *shrug*
