Spears are wholly underwhelming, and parry is a meme

Bump for relevance, melee spear abilities struggle, ranged are too complicated.

Parry is a meme, no matter how you buff it.

Bump, 8 pages of feedback.

Still waiting on the mob to hit me.

Melee spear abilities are still all a joke, just FYI

Hoping with all the reworks this will be included as well.

Parry is a meme and requires a full rework.

Bump for relevance

Spears, the actual IRL historical all-time number one melee weapon. Nothing has been more powerful or effective in warfare prior to gunpowder than stick with a pointy end on it. A shame to see them done so wrong.

This game just isn't built for melee, so it's not surprising this experiment didn't work out. Nice try with parry mechanics, but now that GGG is committed to one shot screen wipe zoomie gameplay it probably is time to shelve it so people don't get tricked into wasting their time on it.

I don't think PoE2 spears will ever be anything other than Bow/Crossbow/Projectile Wand attacks with slightly different graphics.

Updated first post for pre 0.5 thoughts, especially noting the early level issues which spears have.

Bump, because relevance, still time to bake in movement with the basic spear skills

isnt twister/whirl slash some super OP skill? i saw so many streamers rave about it lately and they plan to play it next league also
