Hi unrealshadow13,
My level 85 lightning fury javazon applied the same tactics as you, and for a long time. I used Lycander's Flank for the switch, see its stats at the Arreat Summit.
Lately however, especially in 1.10, I find that jab with slvl 1 is really kind of slow with lycander's. I ended up using upgraded Titan's all the time, until I found a Demon's Arch, which is now my weapon of choice, because of the heavy elemental damage.
Back to the question: If you can't get your hands on a better Unique, you will always want some ias on the spear, enhanced damage, leech, +attackrate (itd if possible) and perhaps a bit cold damage.
A perfect rare could have the following prefixes:
Fool's: + (16.5 Per Character Level) 16.5-1633.5 To Attack Rating / + (0.5 Per Character Level) 0.5-49.5 To Maximum Damage (Based On Character Level)
Cruel: +201-300% Damage
Master's: +151-250 to Attack Rating, Damage: +101-150%
and suffixes:
Winter: Adds 5-9 Minimum and 16-50 Maximum Cold Damage - 5 sec Duration
Lamprey: 8-9% Life Stolen Per Hit
Quickness: 40% Attack Speed Increase
I don't know if some combinations of these mods can't spawn together, though. Just know that this would be a great melee weapon for a spearazone. For these technical details please refer to someone else.
Perhaps this helped a bit...
Greetings, Fragbait
