First, learn to name your topics properly.
Second, spears because with 2.5m range you can strafe-kite slow mobs, also ripost and the fact that spears have the highest avg damage. |

hmm, although piercing is nerfed (especially its area), it is also used for grinding (not in all cases athough many prefer slashing for barbs coz of SC). and yeah, it has the highest avg damage. Don't forget ripost! and of course the famous setup of barbs, barbs (maybe, nowadays) use 3 weap setup especially for the passsives.. +strenghth is a big deal for barbs!
Don't know much about barbs( i play knight :P), but this what i know about them.

the last 1 meter range usually has caught another player, and as it's always said it's good for grinding.
so mostly spears is good for leeching of the extra range. |

Use whatever weapon you feel comfortable with, at lower levels i really liked spears then i got SC (south cross) with axes happy around lvl 37, by lvl 43/4 i was happy to use a hammer, hammers give best damage imho, ok not the highest but have the minimun lower and higher dmg difference so are more consistant.
Regards

As far as I know, many people use more than one weapon (even during one single fight!) depending on what they need.

depends on your level and your gameplay, but I suggest you to use ( for now) the hammer or mace
