Tridents are cool. They kinda are stanky base statwise. When they were changed from being 1handers to 2handers, their stats were never adjusted to match.

Comparisons:

Spear: large, simple weapon. 1d8 damage x3 crit

Greataxe: large, martial weapon. 1d12 damage x3 crit

Greatsword: large, martial weapon. 2d6 damage 19-20 critrange

Trident: large, martial weapon. 1d8 damage x2 crits

It takes more investment to use a trident, and it is straight up worse than the simple spear weapon. While I get that tridents usually have some pretty cool stats to make up for it, it usually isn't enough to warrant using a trident.

Suggestions:
-turn it 1handed again with x3 crits to be more equivalent to martial 1handers
-Or up dmg to 1d10 and x3 crits to make it a bit better, the cool bonuses on them would then make up for the differences between them and the other large martial weapons
