Hey so I'm new to the game and want to do a metamorph useing a spear and maybe a bow but I know I need to flavor another class into it so I was thinking about putting geomancer what do you think

As i explain in another post, playing metamorph (that is a strengh based class) with a spear (that is a finesse based weapon) is not really a good synergie.
But for a other class as a spear user i would recommend to check the warfare skills (they will scale with your spear so will be finnesse based).

"metamorph with a spear" is actually easy to build. because "metamorph" is not really a class.

so you start with metamorph preset(to get the spear in the chest), but put all points into Finesse.
I suggest to take opportunist talent if it's not selected by default.
then as you level up you add 1-2 points into scoundrel to get useful skills like Adrenaline\Cloack and dagger and put most points into warfare to increase damage of your spear.
as for polymorph skill since you lack srt stat to make it damaging you should select skills mainly for utility: chameleon, heart of steel, wings and etc. and even tentacle or medusa can be useful for their effect even though they'll do almost no damage.

the rest of the points and talents can be spent on everything you want. necromancy+living armor if you wanna pretend that you're tanky. geo\hydro\air\fire for useful buffs and maybe even CC spells to help your party. and etc.

Hey, from personal experience "Metamorph" isn't really a thing were you can put all your points into but you can have it mixed with something else as you said above. If you want to use a spear and a bow I would recommend starting off putting one point into scoundrel (or warfare or huntsman for weapons if you want) for adrenaline and one point into metamorph.. I would then as put points into finesse during character creation and maybe put a point into wits or con to if you want. From there I would get adrenaline, chicken claw, and tentacle lash. From here I would start off the game and work my way getting the darling bow from the dig spot near the entrance of fort joy and get the spear of braccus rex. From here I would get chameleon cloak and try to make your way up to heart of steel, wings, and whatever you want (medusa, oily blob, etc). This is how I would make my character but you can do what you want.
