Though i have seen one on one spear fights, in a kurosawa film their was one, the spears looked hard to handle. While this is true, that spears are more of group weapon (historically speaking), there were individual warriors who used spears. Spears give the user range, whether they should have light spears (for throwing, like the Roman Legionnaires and the Iberians before them) or heavy spears used by Hoplites (not Phalangites, their spears are way too long). It would be a nice option for two-handed, maybe. Or they could increase the level cap so include a new branch of weapon skills, though I would probably use those skill points on other skills.
