Most people consider Raw to be largely useless for anything once you get further than early game. Heck, even upgrading a weapon fully up the standard route will give you more damage output. The only real advantage to it is that it's cheap to upgrade. Yeah, I found that out the hard way when I upgraded my Winged Spear. Plus you need a spear with Normal +10 to get the Dragonslayer Spear, so now that's a +4 of second tier upgrades down the drain.
