It's been said before, but man, the spear really is the worst weapon in the game...
Post Body

...By far. It's the only weapon I have yet to clear with, despite having runs where all of the boons are falling my way. I love using the spear, there just isn't a combination of boons or hammers that makes the spear's main attack anywhere near good enough.

The attack is not particularly fast, and is almost pitifully weak, especially by the time you get to Elysium. Even with curses attached, it just doesn't get the job done.

The special is especially useless, even with the exploding hammer upgrade, and I don't play the spear because I want another projectile weapon.

The only combo that I can think of that might be consistently successful is a pure cast build, where you only use the spear to apply curses, and use something like Dio and Demeter's duo to do all of your damage.

...And that hidden aspect. After many successful runs, I managed to die in freaking Tartarus while using it.. No other hidden aspect penalizes you that harshly. Not to mention that the abilities of the weapon don't match the lore of the weapon, nor do the common builds for it. Yeah. I'm sure that guy would have been using his 100 pound spear as a projectile...

Do you think that there is a fix in the works for the spear, or at least a buff?

Also, please don't be too harsh, I DO suck at the game, and realize that better players can find success with the spear.
