Eldrian could not truly compare the two weapons. He had not used either enough to understand how they worked. But from what he knew of fights, he felt the regen -the passive bonus- would truly be far better.
A large reason for this belief was because Eldrian had never really felt he lacked damage. It was always more a limit of simply keeping up with the opponent. And while fights generally ended quickly, Eldrian knew that battles continued for a long time.
Simply looking back to his recent fights, they were generally first against a few grunts. Then later against the stronger enemies, yet at that stage, he would be tired and slightly wounded. Luckily he had had Floyd to help him in the caves, but with this spear, he might not need it. Certainly not as much as he had needed the help.

Hope everything still makes sense.
