Glad to see the implicits being opened up for spears to make them more varied and compatible with various builds!

Wtf Trident 159% crit multi? 
Also Ice Spear … but only one cold melee skill in the whole game - Shatterstrike. I hope you adds some more cold based melee skills to LE. Thanks for your hard work guys!
Most melee skills have a lot of % melee or % generic damage modifiers in their tree so the Ice Spear adding flat cold damage is unlikely to be an issue unless you want to do something like a fire hit damage Flame Reave, in which case you’d use a different weapon.
Well there’s already Odachi sword, giving up to 170 crit damage (hope it will stay in 0.8.4). both weapons are pretty equal at power.
Also to add on to what Llama mentioned you can be cold based melee without using a “cold” tag skill. For example Swipe has 100% added dmg effectiveness and mostly % increased hit damage/melee dmg in the skill tree. Then you can use Shaman passives for cold dmg and penetration and skills like war cry which gives 250% increased cold dmg. So you’re damage is 100% cold but the skill just doesn’t have the cold tag.
Hey nice! Does this mean, spears now also get a propper attack animation? No more slashing with spears?
You can slash with a spear, just like you can slash with the tip of a sword, it’ll just be less effective than stabby stabby.
That’s the plan, however it is not certain it will be ready for 0.8.4.
On a different note, no one still noticed the new zone tease…

Well…if you tell us to take a look at the new Polearms, we look at the new polearms
Btw…is that a new zone in the background?
I thought it was one of the recent new arenas, I don’t remember the name. Seems I was confused… ^^

Yep, Sanctuary Arena during Sunset.

I never said, that it is impossible to do that. It just doesn’t fit.
If you like it that much, you can purchase a creator pack, design the “Spear Of The Llama” and put it into the game 2h sword category…
Sure, I’ll send you my bank details so you can transfer me the money.
I noticed it but I thought it was an arena 
. I was oogling too much at the Spears and new sentinel model and armor
While not relevant to Polearms/Spears, I wish that the Maces and Hammers could be separated out. Flails maybe too, but at least those are categorized as maces sometimes.
The spears look great and I kinda want to use that Bident on a Serpent Strike build now.
As always amazing work. You guys are great.
I love that dragonslayer spea- ahem deicide lance. Ornstein’s spear is one of the most stylish video game weapons, and it’s great to see a beautiful homage to it here! Looks pretty nice for a spear version of a lunge/javelin holy trail build, too.
Yes but is a ‘true’ cold melee if you can’t freeze because those skills don’t get freeze rate? Thematically doesn’t fit imo. Cold should freeze

Glad I wasn’t the only one that noticed.
These all look absolutely incredible.
