| Question Title: | Why does spear have 2 different variances? |
| Category: | Balance |
| Question: | Why do older spears, such as yaris, budiaqs, and regular spears have 75% variance while the newer spears have 60%? I think spear is the only weapon that has 2 different variances (non -quest). Is there a reason not to make yaris and budiaqs and such 60%? |

| Answer: | Spears come in different flavors just like axes (axe v. hammer) and swords (rapier v. "normal"). The why is that DaveJ wanted to give spear users a stronger weapon without buffing the entire class. |
