Damage bonuses are something to consider with javelins, or the Amazon class-specific spears. These weapon types add bonus damage from both dexterity and strength, usually .75% damage per point of each stat. Most other melee weapons are 1% damage per point of strength, with no damage bonus from dex at all. This means that you can add the same amount of bonus damage by adding to your Spearazons strength or dexterity, but it takes 4 points of dex/str to equal the bonus damage you'll get with a normal spear, such as a Pike or Lance. Dexterity is more useful to add than strength, generally speaking, since it increases your Attack Rating, Defense, and blocking, while strength just boosts damage (and helps you meet item requirements). | Damage bonuses are something to consider with javelins, or the Amazon class-specific spears.
