spears are mainly for groups see you take in a lot of DM thats what healers are for,if you wanna solo i would recomand faster spears like short spears and just spears and use large ones for grouping and dont get piised at them and drop em if they suck at first (heard that someone had a problem for a couple of first lvls) I personaly chosse spears cause they ROCK aganst midgard in RvR (i dislike midgard a lot) also tip have your celtic spear skill at the same or higher your lvl for max damage(DM) and they do thrust damage a uniqe damage for spears and for all of you out there get to lvl 15 fast cause when you do YOU WILL ROCK rwhen i was lvl 8-15 get someone from guild a high lvler healer to buff me all the way,i could solo oranges and lvl up very quickly so have happy hunting ROCK ON HIBERIAN WARRIORS peace and happy killing midgadians
