Weapon Proficiencies

I have a few questions about weapon skills.

What weapon skill does attacking with a torch use?

Is there not a skill for spears?

Does the unarmed skill only work when nothing is in the hand or are there certain special unarmed weapons at some point?

Not a skills question, but does a weapon held in the left-hand do less damage?

The maces skill.

There is no skill for spears.

You can find a pair of gauntlets that improve your unarmed skill, but no knuckles or anything like that.

Nope.

I'll add in that different weapons are good for different things, depending on what you want the character to do. For example.

At lvl 50:
Axes: gets +20 to damage when they hit an enemy.
Maces: Ignores enemy's armor, so no damage reduced by heavy armor mobs, like Ogres I think, and Guardians.
Swords: Attack 20% faster, and next to daggers are the fastest weapons already, so hit low, compared to Axes and Maces, but also hits very often, something 3-4 times before Axes and Maces can hit a second time.

You can hover over an item, and it will list the skill it's related to. If no skill is listed, it's not related to any skill. :)
