trident or spear?

[seadog98520]

I was all excited to finally be able to make a trident as I was led to believe that it was 'legendary' and thus superior. But upon looking at the stats I saw that it had the same amount of damage points as the spear although it was 'frost' damage as opposed to penetration damage. Am I missing something? It may be prettier but it doesn't seem to do anymore damage that a regular spear. ?

Hey! This system of damage types is getting a rework in the future that will make these differences more impactful, but for now there are select instances where the trident would be a better or worse tool. For instance, spears are better against Gorgons which are resistant to elemental damage, but the trident is better against Golems which are resistant to physical attacks like slashing, piercing, and bashing.
