I would love if they changed the way you hold the spear because in its current state doesn't act like a traditional spear and more of a javelin and when using it as a melee weapon becomes painfully frustrating when you have to stand so close to any enemy to even get a hit, as a spear it renders it useless for its role. It would make so much sense if you could change your stance from holding it with 2 hands like a traditional spear or with a shield as well as the stance you hold it currently for when you wanna throw it, Hopefully they'll sort this because iv seen so many people with the same feed back so they'll have to have acknowledged it at some point.
