i kno right. thats why i find it weird when i was testing my damage on someone. having max dex deals more damage than having max str. well using Legendary LK Spear. ofc it would be different if its Black Halberd. Clashing Spiral is based on weight of weapon and atk. try comparing your damage with Legendary LK Spear with 1 slotted Cardo. set aside the other gears, focus on the weapon alone.
