Mace nerfed slightly too much?

[Strider]

[Torben]

slightly off topic,  but same thing happened to the plated charger.  unnerf!

[Konrax]

I think it was balanced based on its cost compared to 1h alternatives.

So to make it any better would have to make it more expensive.

It was crazily OP, its still a great weapon, not underpowered at all.

use the fighting axe? it has 1h and 2h modes, does good damage and over all is pretty nifty.

I don't think it was nerfed too much.  Personally any weapon that can be wielded as a 2h should be 2 slots (in my opinion).  Just the fact that you can use a 2h'ed weapon that is 1 slot is a huge advantage for you.  In a pinch you can pick up a better 2h'ed weapon and be proficient in it.  Someone who uses a 1h/1slot weapon does not have the option to pick up a better weapon if they run out of bolts/arrows/throwing weapons, or if they are the last one alive.  Well they do, but in theory they could already be using those better 1h weapons, since they are all 1 slot.

It's still a really nice weapon, and you are (in theory) proficient in 2handed weapons, so you can pick up any 2h'er on the field and wield it proficiently.

Yeah this thing on an AGI char is devastating. I can never judge the reach correctly, I always think I'm safe, and KLONK I'm lying on the ground.

And this.

I voted no, because the mace is my secondary weapon as an archer, and even with crappy melee stats it doesn't disapoint.

[Strider]

Well w/e I tried...
My beloved Mace will never be restored to glory 

[Rextard]

When it was the spiked mace I had it deadly-fied. It's not as glorious anymore, but it's still clearly the best melee weapon in the game.

[Phew]

It still blows its one-handed counterparts (iberian/military hammer/winged mace/warhammer/etc) out of the water, in terms of speed and effective reach (thanks to 2h animations).

If I was after a 1-slot twohander, I'd loom a Fighting axe. That thing is nasty.
