Sunspear skill
Sunspear skills are PvE-only skills available to characters on accounts with the Nightfall campaign. They each cost one hero skill point and are available from the hero skill trainers at Kamadan, the Sunspear Great Hall, and the Command Post after reaching the first rank of the Sunspear title track.
The skills are dependent upon one's Sunspear rank, rather than an attribute. Because PvE-only skills cannot be unlocked, heroes may not use Sunspear skills. Since the May 17th, 2012 update, only Sunspear Rebirth Signet and Vampirism (due to a bug) continue to scale above Sunspear rank 5 (Sunspear Captain). All other skills reach maximum effectiveness at rank 5.
While Sunspear skills are not linked to any attribute, three of them are affected by primary attribute ranks, making them less useful for other professions. The Monk skill Seed of Life requires Divine Favor to increase its healing capability, the Assassin skill Critical Agility needs Critical Strikes to increase its duration, and the Paragon skill "There's Nothing to Fear!" uses Leadership to extend its duration.
