The Dread Spear is ok, but it is not the best Polearm in the game. The Faust Halberd is the highest damaging Polearm, and a Valkyrie should have no problem overcoming the -3 regen by the time you are able to find one. The Mindblast Rod has the best random effects, but the Stun Rod is a good middle ground with similar effects and slightly higher damage.

Overall, the only random effects worth having on a weapon are ones that completely disable the monster or kill it. The Stun Rod is the best choice for a Valkyrie. If you can manage to find a Faust Halberd and overcome the -3 regen, its higher damage and %chance to kill will beat out the Stun Rod.
