I think my biggest issue at the moment is spears.
- There are three spear attack skills in the game. All on base classes. 3 of the 4 promotions can't even USE spears without mastery skills!
- They can be light and can have decent crit, but oh wait, autohit, autohit, and the only spear skill on a class basically dedicated to swords, weaker than the sword skills...
- They have a Str/2 + Cel/2 scaling attack... on the class that has no Cel growth. Their bonus accuracy attack is on the class with very high skill.
- They get a wonderful gimmick to change their weapon's damage element (Imbue Strike) ... on Lantern Bearer, which is a caster. It also only works on-hit, not on autohit.
At least axes have Mad Chop going for them. Spears are just... blargh. Trust me, I've tried to make a good hybrid spear user to capitalize on LB/Thousand stab. It just doesn't work.
