this mace is longer using over-head attacks by 6 points , the same length using left-to-right swings, 9 points shorter using right-to-left swings, 61 longer on thrusts (though i doubt you can compare thrusts of these weapons

7:8. Bec wins but this is a premature comparison, tbh. These weapons are different and they're better than each other in different situations.
only 2 minor problems, remember long iron mace actually uses polearm stab animation(so shorter stab), also after change to armor(high reduce/low soak now) Pierce is actually better at damaging armor than Blunt is(because Pierce goes mostly through Reduce/not through Soak like blunt does)
but Soak isn't what armor is anymore(this is why you don't glance)
I was talking to my brother(who was a developer for TW) and he was explaining the high soak was actually to simulate the padding of armor, it was interesting mebbe one day I can get him to explain that to me in text form lol
also physics arguments don't apply, as Tears would post in gigantic red letters to explain to you it doesn't matter what your fake animation hands look like on a weapon
PS btw if hold something that has a huge heavy end (which u are not holding) and it is like 10-15 feet long, it is nothing like swinging a broom, sorry it's still "Unbalanced" and hard to stop a swing, because the weight is not evenly distributed, but what would I know about physics, I'm only a professional engineer with a degree in engineering *lol*
its similar to a pendulum, which tends to stay in motion because of that heavy weight(go figure)
