Before you are able to craft a spear you can simply buy a spear with as much accuracy on prefixes as possible and put the 2 perfect essences on the suffixes for a basic spear to use until you can get the fracture.

Spear Crafting:

Obtain an Akoyan Spear with fractured accuracy as high as you can afford. You may need to fracture this yourself by buying a spear with T1 Accuracy, annul down to 3 mods and then use a desecration but DO NOT REVEAL IT. Then fracture for a 1 out of 3 chance.
Use Chaos Orbs until you hit T3+ Hybrid Accuracy Phys (t2+ is ideal but take what you can get).
Use an Omen of Dextral Exaltation to force a suffix onto the item with an Exalted Orb.
Use an Omen of Dextral Crystallisation to force a Perfect Essence of Abrasion to take off the suffix you just added.
Add 2 Suffixes with Exalted orbs. ONLY 2
Use Omens of Dextral Crystallisation and Perfect Essences of Haste/Battle until both mods are present.
Use an Omen of the Liege and apply a Preserved Jawbone to the item.
Activate an Omen of Abyssal Echoes just in case as there are 4 mods you can roll and unveil for Attack Speed/Companion Attack speed.
Divine the spear if the attack speed or other mods are very low.

Other Notes:

Constricting Command MUST have 4 reduction for surround.
Couture of Crimson doesn't need 3 sockets but it is very powerful.
The rest of your gear must cover the following
- Elemental Resistances +10 over max
- Chaos Resist max
- 1x Mana Leech
- 1x Life Leech
- As much Life as possible
- As much Evasion as possible
- As much Deflection chance as possible
- Enough Spirit on your amulet to use the auras
- Any other open suffixes should be attributes

Whirling Slash is used to generate whirlwinds for Twister which is your main source of clear. You can use this as your main movement skill through maps as it will move you towards the enemy slowly. I personally put this on left click.
Twister is your main clear skill and should be used at 3 stacks of whirlwind from Whirling Slash. This skill can pick up elemental ground from things like Charged Mark and such to do extra elemental damage.
Rapid Assault is your main single target damage skill for tanky rares or bosses. The final strike is what matters here, hit 4 or 5 of these and then detonate them with Explosive Spear for huge damage.
Explosive Spear is only used to detonate spearheads from Rapid Assault.
Pounce is your movement skill as well as your application for Sniper's Mark. Use it freely in maps to generate Frenzy Charges for Charge Regulation.
War Banner should be used for difficult encounters such as an Abyss or for bosses.
Herald of Ash supplements our clear.
Wind Dancer gives us some knockback and Evasion, keeping us safe when we get hit.
Charge Regulation is able to maintain both Endurance and Frenzy from Armour Break III on Twister and Sniper's Mark / Valako's Roar.

Spear Throw is just to make Red the most common gem for Ignite Immunity from Crystallised Immunities

I pretty much only farm Abyss on this character.

3x Tablets with +Rares and Chance for Abyss Monster Mods or Additional Abyss pits. I am mainly farming for Amanamu Void mobs that you pull out of the void and then kill.
