    Lame :( I wasn't joined up with this group until this morning when I got the DLC. I've been following this build and waiting for spears....but no....we will have to wait some more. Perhaps it is just not yet time!? I still hold out hope that they will add spears as a weapon between swords and axes. Light 1 handed poking versions and long 2-handed stabbing versions. This build is still fun as heck!

    I was pretty disappointed to find there would be no melee spears in the new DLC, there isn't a weapon I feel is more appropriate for man vs dragon combat. Alas, I think having to use the Reikling spears, which are essentially javelins, with a bow is doubly disappointing.

    However what I have seen of it in video would make it an interesting option for a Uruk-hai type orc archer build, as I believe the orc Captain Lurtz is depicted in the LoTR movie as firing a bow with extremely heavy projectiles, and the Reikling spears look like they hit like a semi-truck.

    Henson, how in all of Tamriel did you get smithing to 100 without taking the Dwarven perk (Dwarven bow)?

    Note the Alteration as a major skill. If you can be bothered grinding the Transmute spell Iron->Transmute->Gold/Silver Jewelry is a lot easier

    True, I think I'll probably use a trainer for it too. Thanks Ponty.

    Is anyone aware that the spears MUST be used with a bow?

    Yes... I am just too saddened by the fact they are "arrows" ... For right now at least. This makes me too sad to update this build as well haha!

    I just noticed this... Skyrim has a weird obsession about disappointing people with things that seem perfect. I mean, look at dawnguard with Serana, she is the only character that talks to your character in a romantic way besides "hello my love", is the best follower in the game, is a perfect marriage option... Makes her impossible to marry without console commands or mods. Now with the spears... I worry for whatever happens next.

    As much as it saddens me that there is no spears, at least we can ride dragons

    Just an FYI a respec perk option is in the game via dragonborn this could allude to the addition of new skill trees honestly spears need to be a skill tree. Besides that point I have read that after all the DLC has hit the PS3 some free DLCs will be released in the form of new spells/weapons/armors as well as an April 1st (no joke) update that adds something as big as mounted combat was.
