Does longer aiming increase damage with the spear?

Stone sledge is very very slow, which works 4 times out of 5 much easier and faster than the spear. But that 5th time it doesn't work as you miss the zombie and the zombie is enraged and runnning at you. Remember I am talking about novice players who don't have learned the timing and distances yet.

 

Hmm, I do kinda agree with most of that, except the spear doesn't stagger as well so it might get you hit regardless (ok, I haven't even tried A20 spears, why am I talking? ). And I don't think the enrage mechanic is practically even there for new players / default difficulty. I was just saying it's not that obviously "the best" even with that group of caveats.

 

"Not quite on par" was indeed more about the general use, nabs will be nabs with whatever you give them, in all kinds of creative ways ...
