Currently (23.3) there is a bug that allows you to do a near-infinite amount of damage with spears. This has been tested by one-shotting a player who was under the effect of Resistance 3 while also wearing Protection 5 Mithril Armor.

The issue is that Mevans mixed up his Math.min with a Math.max in LOTRItemSpear.onPlayerStoppedUsing also known as  func_77615_a. Due to this you are able to charge a spear throw to the point where it can take out balrogs (plural due to piercing effect having killed 3 during my testing) in a single hit. The simplest way to resolve this problem is fix the formula in the effected method or simply swap the max for min.
