new weapon JAVELIN

i never see javelin now in games please include it in POE2

Don't we have a spear in PoE2?

yeah but javelin is a throwable spear whilst a spear is a long range melee weapon

The closest thing to "chunky, medium ranged weapon" would be Spectral Shield Throw I suppose. I don't know that PoE needs yet another weapon type, but you can somewhat simulate it at least

Javelin would be fun, but it'd be to much like playing Diablo 2.

Aside from that we can already throw spears with Huntress using her skill Storm Spear and it's pretty much the same as a Javelin from Diablo 2. I'm not sure if there is any other ranged spear skills but I used that one in the beta a lot.

It was pretty much identical, throw a lightning spear out and it chains to hit other enemies.

I think it would be cool for the campaign. Not sure how different it would be in maps, where the weapon is less important than the skill for gameplay. A sword doesn't act like a sword if you're doing AOE on the full screen. The numbers make some difference, but not so much to playstyle, unless the gem restricts you from using certain skills. How would it function differently to bow, other than the animation? In D2 you had to replenish your ammunition, but that's not a mechanic in POE. I think it would be cool in the first few acts running around using the javelin, but by about act 3 skills are probably overpowering the weapon choice. So I guess you would also want certain skills that work specifically with javelin? Maybe it's something that would work in POE2, if there is more emphasis on targeting certain enemies.

Yeah but it only works in duo play
