    i love the look of this weapon, could someone on pc give some pvp details on it? like does it have a wider hit box than other spears and how powerful is that ridiculous 2h r2 attack?

    i ask because i plan to dual wield it with the butcher knife to make a fork/knife gluttony build when the dlc hits so... anyone?

    I'm pretty sure it's shorter than most of the long spears. And the main strength of a spear is its length, so it's not very good. The fact that it can be buffed is good, though, but not enough to compensate for the lack of range in my opinion.

    If I'm remembering right and the 2hR2 is the one where you run at the enemy and fall over if you whiff... just... don't use it. I've seen people try use it in the arena in videos, it's so easy to punish that it's sad.

    I think it has better scaling, it had a solid C++ in DEX at +0, and I think low low D in STR, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was a longest Rapier silly

    Rapier without the critical bonus?

    Hmm here's what I'm thinking. Well they made it where when you poke with a rapier behind a shield it uses 50% more stamina....it never said anything about spears. So the Four Pronged has about the damage of a rapier and if it can get a B-A scaling in DEX it would be a pretty good weapon for turtles.

    oh well, im still going to use it though, going into combat with dining utensils will be too awesom to not do, besides it seems to have the best str scaling of the med spears (according to the build planner) so it'll work on a 30/30 build using the butcher knife in the main hand with the fork in the off hand...

    I think it looks like a good weapon, you can whiff with the 2 handed R2, which makes you run and lunge forward and fall down. I think if you hit a target you don't fall over.

    That is accurate, I saw it in (I think) one of Jblackmel's videos.

    If you do fall over you're f**ked though. Prostration

    +1 for creativity. That's hilarious. You should use the Leggings of Favor since they come with a bib. It's a crotch bib, but still.
