When throwing an item while holding a spear, it incorrectly plays the full spear attack animation. The motion should just be a throwing flick/swing, similar to how it works with a sword.

The bug is popably caused because of the fact that the dropping animation is equal to the attack animation. To verify if its really a bug or an animation error; try to attack right after you drop item. If you can’t hit, theres a problem.
