Would Crossbow & Spear be viable any time soon?

I know nobody cares about the Crossbow, but do you guys have any attention on the crossbow buff?

And also, with the Impale and Fend buff, Spear build really need some more buff too.

They are still impractical.

*Poison & Plague javelin skills are not viable as well. They are still not cost effective.

I play (lvl 43) Lightning Strike / charge strike melee. Seems fine to me. over 3.3k life, 23 LL, 90LR, 75 PR, Raven frost for anti freeze and cold absorb, THundergod for +3 LS and Lightning absorb. 23k jab(no might), 10k Def with defiance merc with infinity. Ebotd eth +3 Matriarchial Spear for speed and power (BIS), 70 FRW. Haven’t died since accuring the Ebotd. Easy P8 battlenet, starter spear is Stoneraven (pul-um) must be very fast for LL. this can do up to P3-5 depending on playstyle. Clone is most important tank. after 2.4, she will be even better tank and more points into crit. FYI, fend is not meant to be used as the only attack method when playing melee, or else you will have over 40 points unspent.
