I have never seen a spear with FT, when there wasnt a much better mace with FT. Also, to help we need to know wether you mean 2 handed or 1 handed and what level. <div></div>
<P>Can't the halberd from the peacock quest be used both as a 2 handed and 1 handed spear?</P> <P>Altough being a spear it use the slashing skill i believe.</P><p>Message Edited by Lejina on <span class=date_text>05-22-2006</span> <span class=time_text>12:04 PM</span>

Either 2h or 1h as long as it works with the STR AA line. <div></div>

A Mystic can choose and equip the Halberd from the Peacock Club series.I wouldn't recommend it, but it is possible.<div></div>

The mace has obviously better stats for a priest, but the darn thing is useless when it comes to our AAs. I've been pondering to pick up the wand (im Str-Int). I already constantly swap between a spear and a wand, to add a third weapon to the mixt is just going to be even more annoying.</DIV>

If you are raiding, you clearly have a job to do: Heal.The halberd from Godking does absolutely nothing to enhance than function. In fact, it is detrimental - the stats don't help you at all!Yes, I agree some of the restrictions on our AA's are a little much.One thing that has helped me get over it is to ignore the rank 2 abilities completely. Don't even look at them when making a decision. Ritual might be the only exception, but personally I ignore it as well.By ignoring the rank 2 abilities, you eliminate almost all of the restrictions from the equation and you'll then be basing decisions upon those things that can actually help you in all situations.<div></div>

good point so besides wanting to stick to our heritage which is a spear. As a Mystic you have to go with the best possible combination which is usually a mace that has FT since the selection of spears suck! <div></div>

Pretty much. It seems that spears have been designed solely for soloing. <div></div>
