So really it should be that balance do not do damage buff can instead give a debuff to enemies like a slow or heavy or take away from pvp ast and give a slight increase movement speed or increase parties hp pool by about 5%.
Crit is still damage up (it’s why old spear was just called the poor man’s balance)

If they returned the old effects, changed balance to a non damage move but left spear alone you would just be fishing for spear instead
