I wouldn't guess so. I am not for sure. To me it seems like Maceing has gotten the short end of the club .. heh.. anyways. The weapons in the maceing group seem under powered. I have also noticed that 1) the exiler will not dispel summons anymore, 2) wind's edge does not seem to do the proper damage. a Kryss with 50% DI (Black Thron's against a non-slayer type) seems to do more damage, when it should be about the same.

Anyways I just want to open the topic for macer's out there that might feel under privelged.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was cooler when we could break stuff and the fact that a crafter can not make or enhance a blackstaff still bugs me but...

I havent seen any problems with the Exiler and some of the wooden weapons ive enhanced with my carpenter are completely insane...they are also almost exclusivlely mace weapons.

Macers are not swordsman and will almost always seem to get short shrift but then again i can get some of the most ubber weapons in the game at a fraction of what they would cost if they where for swords.

The ones who got ignored the worst are the two handed macers.

Yeah, yeah.. the fans of blah blah blah.. nerfed. My macer has to resort to the Wrath of the Dryad, just because there isn't a reasonable alternative.

Maces and Diamond Maces are some of the best weapons in the game as far as damage goes. Ever fought a tactics mage with a nice mace?

It's true... Macers need a mid-range 2h mace weapon. Their low range mace weapons (crook, black staff and quarterstaff) are all pretty good in their speed class, but I think they need more in the mid-range speed classes.



I agree on diamond maces. Maces are ok I guess, but do roughly 3 less DPS than crooks... I guess you pay for it being a 1h weapon.

Macers need some mid-speed 2h weapons with higher base damages than their 1h counterparts. One way to fix this would be to enhance the base damage on the 2h hammer to bring it inline with its speed class, but every weapon skill has this problem. Halberds, lances and 2h hammers are all low dps weapons because their delay is so high. Generally speaking, I'm not interested in any weapon that's slower than an ornate axe, but maybe I would be if they didn't all suck

While i like the Diamond Mace - I've personally stayed away from maces lest my reason wane and my darker side surface.



Smashy smashy.
