It’s only real improvement was the extra 20 strength but that was largely offset by the 133 crit which was worth a lot more than 99 skillspeed plus the augmented 270 version offset the strength deficit whilst still providing a large contingent of both det and crit making the 270 superior to the 275 and a solid alternative while you waited for the release/finished work on the 275 relic which was ultimately, the best spear in the game

So no I wouldn’t have used the Alexandrian metal spear if you paid me
