Yeah, you're probably quite right about the Pipes. And with the name of the position being "Spear Bearer", you're probably not far off by saying that Spear Bearers should be prominently wielding spears.

Fair dos, I personally think that situations have prevented the Spear Bearers we've seen to actually perform proper Spear Bearing duties, but we're all entitled to our own opinions ! But I agree with you though, it would be nice to see proper long range Spear Bearers fighting. I think one reason it's not happened is that it's difficult to make longer ranged fights 'interesting', not to mention I'm sure most fans prefer closer ranged action where fights appear to be more intense. Oh well, one can hope !
