==Trait Synergies==
Ancient Spear benefits directly from the following [[traitBarbarian traits]]s:
* [[Intimidation]]: Increases damage done and reduces vendor costs.
* [[Cruelty]]: Increases your chance of dealing critical strikes.
* [[Brain Basher]]: Increases damage done when the Barbarian is wielding maces.
'''Note:''' The current [[trait ]] list is very out-of-date and will no doubt be overhauled before game release.
==Skill Rune Effects==
[[File:Runeeffects-2010-03.jpg|350px|right|thumb|Ancient Spear runed for extra harpoons.]]
Only one is known; the [[runestone]] socketed in the pre-made, PvP [[Battle Arena]] characters at Blizzcon 2010 allowed the spear to skewer multiple targets and pull them both into range. Unfortunately, it's not known if this was the [[Indigo rune]] effect, or if it was the [[Alabaster]] or [[Obsidian]] wildcard rune bonuses.
==Development==
'''Ancient Spear''' made its first public appearance at [[BlizzCon 2010]], where [[Wyatt Cheng]] briefly discussed its development :<ref>[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/diablo-3-gameplay-panel-transcript/P2/ Diablo 3 Gameplay Panel Transcript] -- Incgamers 23rd Oct 2010</ref>:
<blockquote>''We knew that he needed a ranged attack so here is an example of Ancient Spear. We don't want to turn the Barbarian into a ranged class so this is something that feels very appropriate for him. We want to sell the theme that he's strong, he's tough, he's melee so we had to come up with something that felt appropriate for that.</blockquote>
