Is there any decent Huntress with Spear build out?

I am currently in act 1 cruel with huntress and i wanna use the spear (i just don't like picking a class and then not playing the class weapon, why pick the class then at all) but i am having trouble going through bosses, mapping is fine, rake with stomping grounds + explosive spear + lance is clearing everything relatively easy but bosses i have massive problems, act 3 was ok but act 1 cruel is just a slog.

So yeah any ideas are welcome

P.S. were is the huntress subclass forum?

rake+sg loses power by cruel, you cannot stack enough stats to keep up IMO

try this:
combat frenzy
whirling slash + pin for frenzy charges
lightning spear + volt + whatever for shock
primal strike + whatever for boss damage to consume shock (primal strike is your boss killer)

I highly recommend using a companion that calls down lightning bolts, because they guarantee shock, which lets you spam primal strike on bosses without shocking them yourself. If you get some okay +spirit gear you can also run double companion and related reserve passives for combat frenzy + two lightning bolters, for perma shock and therefore perma empowered primal strike spam. If you can find a pet that has 'attacks always shock (does it exist?)', that would probably be best.

I also recommend you give 'death dance' a try if you find yourself not using parry/disengage at all. The extra speed feels very welcome.

Also you can 'pin' bosses with enough whirling slash spam, just remember to move out of the whirlwind to pop it.

remember to update your weapon

I killed cruel wolf boss in like 15 seconds each phase with primal strike, with a semi-ok spear and garbage gear. Once I fixed up my gear in act 2 everything just gets perma stunned and falls over instantly.
