Just need a new 1h version. For that matter add mace and bill hook.

What i did on my server is added a separate version (light spear) that can be used 1h, and took the damage stats from longswords (but kept the longer reach)

@Buddawould it be possible and not a huge pain to code metal and wood spear to work with shield? So no need to add a new weapon just tell the game that when shield is equipped to reduce the damage/parry and increase the swing speed. Would love love love the option to use a 1h spear.

 

on the other hand this would make spear unfair since all other weapons require you to train separate 1h and 2h. But since I love spears I am a happy with either option ;)

+1   This idea isn't from devils. :)
The fighters of macedonian phalanxses used a very long and heavy spear with a small shield.

Sarissa is a cca 5m long spear

Just code spear to work differently if you are holding a shield and you get a new 1h weapon with no need to add a new skill.

Thinking of pvp implications, a spear does insane damage to horses, with the only draw back being swing time and no shield. Eliminating the no shield immediately increases the spear's power. 

 

However spears that are used to kill a horse, pretty much kill the horse in 1 hit anyway so I guess it doesn't matter. Plus the reach of a spear is really great but if someone charges you, you will regret the spear.

Historically the spear, weather long or short, has been used one handed in many cultures.  In some it was 2 handed but in those functioned more for cutting and thrusting than a "regular" spear's emphasis on thrusting.
