Bone Spear vs Bone Spirit
Bone Spear will pass through multiple enemies in a line. Bone Spear is very good for getting rid of a lot of enemies. At higher levels Bone Spirit does more damage than Bone Spear but Bone Spirit can only hit one monster at a time. Bone Spirit is easier to aim and hit enemies because it will track a target. Bone Spirit will, however, only hit a monster that is targeted when the spell is fired, so you can't just fire Bone Spirits in an area off screen where you think monsters are coming from like you can do with Bone Spear. If you want to clear large areas of monsters, use Bone Spear. If you want to add additional damage to help out your Minions and Golems use Bone Spirit. You can use both spells but should you decide to specialize in just one, note the advantages of both spells and pick one that best fits your playing style. Many high level Necromancers choose Bone Spirit to max for its high damage, target locking ability, and because it takes less casts per target.
Bone Spear:
* About Half Damage (as Bone Spirit), About Half Mana, Hits multiple targets
* Doesn't need to be targeted on an enemy, you can fire in their direction
* At high levels (40+) can overtake Bone Spirit in damage
* Not as useful in PvP
* Not useful in later stages of Hell
Bone Spirit:
* About Double the Damage (as Bone Spear), About Double the Mana, Hits one Target
* Easier to hit Monsters
* Less Casting per Monster
* Better for Player vs Player Combat
WTF
