By choosing spear and polearm you get some duplicated skills distance/spin and legsweep. The drawback to this is you lose the contrasting skills of a more offensive specialization. Spear and polearm seems redundant. Impale is the only strong ability you will gain from the spec, and it is not worth it. In my opinion, cutoff, in a norecall place like the village is much, much, much more dangerous to mages. Especially if they choose to fight you in front of the destructor and you start cutting off their escapes. My advice, spear OR polearm is a good spec. Spear and polearm is not. Choose something more offensive and something to contrast your first choice. Your first choice will be defensive, make your second choice offensive. If its a strong race, go axe or mace. Sword is going to be the best for dex based races. If you are a felar though, there is no dual wield, so spear/polearm is OK, but hand to hand could be more useful because masters will try to strength disarm you. I hope my opinions help.
