*Note that, like all combat arts in the '''Devout Guardian''' aspect, Deathly Spears uses weapon attack speed.  Even though the weapon itself isn't used for this CA, higher weapon speed = faster execution of Deathly Spears.  Therefore, taking a weapon lore skill is important to maximize the potential of Deathly Spears.
