Ideas To Improve The Spear In Mounts of Mayhem

When i saw the Spear i was excited, i don't even mind if it can't be thrown, i like the Spear a lot as a concept weapon, however there are things that can be done with it, mostly involving enchantments, i say this because i like Lunge as a concept but not that you can't put mending with it, anyway, here are my suggestions:

1. Jousting Enchantment: we have an Enchantment for the 'Thrust' of the Spear, why not one for the jousting attack? it could make the Spear be able to be held in the jousting stance longer, could increase damage & could maybe make mounts your on go faster, would be compatible with enchants such as mending

2. Throwing Enchantment: i know i said i'm fine with the Spear being non-throwable, but the Trident has Riptide which makes it non-throwable, why can't the Spear have a reverse? it could be called 'Vaulting' (throwing) which let's you throw the spear and act's like a Trident, but you'd lose the Jousting ability, would be compatible with enchants such as mending, just for those who want to RP the 300, finally.

3. Shield & Spear: i think it would be a unique function to give the Spear a 'stance' when using a Shield in the off-hand, we know with weapons you can have a shield in off-hand & a weapon in you main hand but attacking you drop the shield, leaving you defenseless, i propose the Spear, since it has a jabbing/thrusting attack, should be able to attack while your using a Shield, Without dropping your guard, again, for 300 Phalanx RP

 

thank you for listening

    This would make the spear even more OP than it already is. Basically make the spear be able to block everything at all time and make the charge even better than it already is or make it a throwable weapon? This would make the mace and the trident completely useless.

    The ideas are not bad but need a lot of balancing to not be gamebreaking. It's the cheapest weapon in the game, it shouldn't replace every late-game weapon and be better in everything.

    To Clarify: the Spear does Less Damage then the Trident so it would still be a weaker throwing weapon, since even though it's thing is based on speed you can't really throw it faster and a bubble chamber cannon is less likely to work on something that isn't an arrow

    i'm not saying these things have to be super op, just make it more fun to use, like a jousting enchantment wouldn't majorly increase the things i listed, but it still makes more sense to have a jousting enchantment then Lunge since jousting is the spears main thing

    the shield and spear thing just makes sense, plus the shield could still be disabled with an axe and wouldn't necessarily block all damage, since your not fully covering yourself you could take like half a heart or a heart of damage, and for the person who invoked this clarification: how is the spear replacing the mace? it's not a falling based weapon and can't use lunge to benefit the jousting attack, and the trident has more perks then she spear including doing more damage to water based mobs, and for a lot of people this i salready going to replace a lot of weapons for them because they more then likely just like the spear, keep in mind i don't mind how these things would be balanced for games sake i'm just listing obvious things that would make the spear more fun, look me in the eye and say you didn't think of the 300 when you saw the spear, bet most of you did, anyway, that was my clarification

    I like the idea of the spear working with a shield up, perhaps while doing this the shield simply gets disabled by any weapon instead of just the axe. Increasing the enchantment level increases the amount of consecutive hits required to disable the shield (because the spear has a minimum range players who get in close can disable your shield easily).
