Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Suggestions and Feedback Spear crazy talk

i have toothache atm so i cannot focus so much on playing the game, but i do have a active mind. Here is my crazy insane slim shady idea.

turn spears into strength based weapons give them a max range thats half that of ranged weapons enable them to scale strength to enable a warfare based ranged class. or can someone suggest how i can build around spears in its current state scaling off finesse and not able to use scoundrel abilities with it. im open to thoughts and constructive feedback. pls comment if you have the slightest inclination on doing so. lets make warfare have a ranged option.

i forgot are they one handed or 2 handed i want to use a shield and spear and turn into a spartan warrior.

just make a 1 handed spear have max range and 2 handed have half the range, or vice versa whilst make 2 handed more damage and 1 handed less damage.

EDIT:pardon my edits i had a blonde moment on typing. This is a suggestion so thats why im posting it here my post is open to constructive feedback on said suggestion. hopefully a crazy dev reads this. or just plane "flies away and hits a plain" drunk!

the thing is i want to build a spear wielding summoner thats strength based and able to sustain his own healing with rallying cry with all my summons and totems being on the frontline, whilst also being a hybrid magic and physical damage dealer through good use of poly and summons and a hybrid mix of other skill classes. sorry if its not a good idea.

the thing is i want to be Leonidas from 300. add a skill that drops your shield on the ground and throws spear with the added stats from said shield "shield gets destroyed in the process as my legion has rallied to my cause and destroyed my shield from the stampede and put a 3 source point cost on it while i also take 100% increased damage from ranged attacks during its duration. only for a necromancer to raise my corpse into a nigh unstoppable killing machine. during the first death my summons and totems also get 100% increased damage for 1 turn if i die from a ranged attack. skill should be named god killer. gal gadot is just amazing,

I wish there was a weapon swap talent so you could go with some kind of spear/bow warfare/marksman build.

If you throw your spear, you lose your main hand wepaon until you pick it up again?

Warfare has 2 ranged options, phoenix dive and shield toss, if you want more, branch out.

Also, Spears turn warfare skills into finesse skills. I do however feel that it wouldnt hurt for there to be some additional benefit to using spears, right now they really only are a more "meh" version of 2handed str weapons.

nah i figure its like arrow recovery you just happen to get it back, maybe the black cat picks it up for you in this case.

Side note my toothaches gone this morning but such a headache now.

EDIT: thats cool had no idea spears changed the warfare skills into finesse based i'll have to look into that now, but i still think spears would make for a great str based short ranged weapon option.

Shield throw also doesnt throw away your shield, so I guess it would work the same
