However, throwing spears were designed to be smaller( or shorter if you prefer) than their melee cousins. I can easily envision a person hurling a four-footer, but somehow I doubt that is the size of the Impaler.
Judging from the item design, the Impaler is a thick spear, and should easily be a seven-footer or more. This does not allow for graceful aerodynamics if you will.
As Bloodbane is a custom spear, and already designed to be a throwing spear, I can live with that. The Impaler however, was not designed with the intention for it to be thrown. If the game designers had wanted it to be a thrown weapon, they would have implemented it accordingly. As it is, it was designed as a Two-Handed Melee Weapon with some serious add-on damage.
The damage is reason enough for people to play with it in melee. If not for the Impaler, most players would not even bother to touch the Spears weapon category. Now the Item Upgrade Mod makes it even better, when it was already one of the best.
A simple upgrade of the enchantment would suffice already, just like how the CFury went from +3 to +5 with no additional modifiers. Doing the same for The Impaler should seriously be considered.
