    Spears really need to be fixed they only attack LEFT or RIGHT.

    I was thinking spears should be almost exactly like how they function in Terraria. That being they stab in the direction that you click in.
    Also i was thinking it would be a really neat Risk/Reward option if you could throw the spear and It would literally be thrown from your inventory on to the field with a short period of time where only the person who threw it could pick it up, or it is thrown and cannot be used until picked up or until a certain cooldown. throw could be right click. ok that is all :)

    I like this, it appeals to my interest of wanting to impale everything that moves.

    I couldn't agree more with this suggestion. Spears are so underrated because in their current state they just can't be used for anything good. I really hope that they follow your suggestion, but I doubt it'll be exactly like terraria, as it's a completely different game, yadah yadah :p

    yeah, i like spears tho because they push people off of you, but they are so rigid, be able to throw them or aim the poke would make them way more useful and versatile. and yes i like to impale everything that moves too haha

    Maybe make a new class of weapon. I forget what they are called but it's a spear with an axe head below the spearhead. Could have a jab attack for knock back and a regular swiping attack.

    You have described a majority of weapons attached to the end of poles. Even spears use sweeping attacks, they just aren't as efficient.

    Well, the most common polearm close to this is a halberd. However I would love me some glaives.

    BTW, javelins, anyone? Insane damage but very short range and are not as good as spears at stabbing?

    yeah glaives would be cool, they really just need to fix the spears tho, also it would be cool if there was a pole type weapon that sort of scooped the enemy upwards launching them, then when you attacked in the air it did the opposite so you could scoop them upward then jump up and combo them back down into the group :)

    They actually already have javelins in the game, their throw able weapons like throwing knifes or shurikens. To me one of the main issues I have with the spears is how you thrust with them, yes I totally agree they should work as they did in Terraria, but how they work now isn't all that bad, it just feels like your sweeping the ground as you swing it with 1 arm, isn't that thing supposed the be 2 handed?

    Throwing spears a la Tomb Raider Guardians of Light. Or Lego Batman. So you can jump off of.
