No it's not. Same speed as Black Staff (2.75). But black staffs are made of ash so they have 10% SSI, wich able u to use it at maximum speed with 150 (or 155 i dont remember) stamina. So the spear, wich has also 2.75 speed, with NO ssi, would need more stamina to hit that fast. So this item is useless for someone who has less than, I would say, 170 stamina. And another thing: Remember that when u get hitted by a monster u lose stamina, so with no stamina leech u would have to use "Divinum Fury", decreasing your DCI, so it's harder for a sampire to block and harder to use Counter Attack Special. So to use this with no problem a sampire would need atleast around 185 stamina, what do u think about that? Easy to get it, isn't it?
