Yes, i know that, with a highest upgrade the claymore would be better but i made a comparison using the combat simulator from iW stat simulator
considering they are both +11
Claymore: 220 atk
Increases physical damage against [Demi-Human] race targets by 75%. + (Upgrade - 3) ^ 2 = 75%+64¨= 139%
Spear: : 130 atk
Increases physical damage against [Demi-Human] race targets by 95%. + (Upgrade - 4) ^ 2 = 144%
It's almost the same bonus
According to the iRO calculator, even with the dragon(that ignores the medium size weapon modifier using spear) the crushing strike damage would be like 2k superior with self buffs and bless with the claymore.
Considering both +14:
Claymore: 220atk and 121+75% = 196%
Spear: 130 atk and 100+95% = 195%
It's almost the same bonus too.
Here spear did like 500 more damage.
If this calculator is correct, the claymore is better until the really high upgrades, then the size modifier penaty of the sword will make the spear a little bit better.
