Spear is underwelming

So i was testing the spear, I used an elytra and max power fireworks to fly at maximum speed towards an iron golem... and it didn't even CRACK!

Its underwelming when the netherite spear does just over a player's healthbar on impact at 60 BPS. If its a damage cap please remove it and if its just the spear not doing much damage buff the rampup. This is a pathetic excuse for a weapon in the meantime if it does less damage then a neherite sword with sharp V while moving at the fastest speed possible with elytra.

edit: so as it turns out you can add sharpness and this changes it a lot with a horse effected with speed 2 has a lower time to kill with a spear then a sword.

    The damage cap should be kept, at most they can increase the the damage cap but outright removal of it is just bad game design.

    Because how come you want a weapon made with 2 sticks and a single piece of wood to be more powerful than a weapon only rarely obtainable in a dungeon (Mace)? Yes, that's what removing damage cap does

    Well to make the 3 planks of wood turn into an OP weapon more powerful then something in a rare dungeon you need to beat the game and go through a DIFFERENT dungeon to get the means to boost it's kill rate. It's an early game weapon carried by End game gear at the end of the day.

    Plus the same thing happened with the mace. "oh weapon is OP nerf it" then it becomes so niche it's borderline unusable because it's hard to aim.

    Oh yeah! to do the 60 BPS hit you have to move that speed and adjust to hit a hitbox the size of 2 blocks, which is hard to do.

    You tested it wrong then, having *actually* played with it; a Netherite Spear with Sharpness 5 with an Elytra can deal 40+ damage.

    Also unlike the Mace; you don't have to aim Spears, why do you think they removed Mace+Trident combo in the first place lol

    Hint: Auto-targeting and no damage cap ;)

    And guess what? You're still suggesting to make a cheap common weapon to be a more powerful and serve a very similar purpose to a much rarer weapon, so the point still stands.

    The golem DOES crack, I tested it. Also the spear is already OP enough to be the cheapest weapon in the game

    Wait it can have sharpness? that changes quite a lot!

    Also, no i did NOT miss the golem, it cracked after 1 jab attack when i tested how much health it had left.
