spears have range 3.5 i think.
And the thing about spells hitting you when trying to run out of range should only apply to instant spells, if i have read the changelog and follow-ups correctly.
This is to prevent instant spells from failing by spell-lag because someone moved out of range. As in, they are instant, so if someone is in range you can cast it. If, due to spell-lag, the person gets out of range before the spell was applied to the victim, before the update it was so that the spell was cancelled. Which is ridiculous, of course
