Recommended Builds for Maces
Mace as a Weapon
The mace is a one-handed axe that is easy to use and is similar to a sword. You can use it in conjunction with a shield, enabling you to be able to guard better against opponents, instead of dodging to avoid their attacks. This also enables faster attacks right after guarding and more chances for a parrying playstyle for those who prefer it.
It is slightly slower than a sword, but also generally has higher base stats than a sword. It is a flexible weapon for both offensive and defensive play.
What Stats to Focus On
Mace wielders would like to prioritize STR. A mace can hit hard and its sword skills enable it to down enemies with crush attacks. It is also very effective in destroying shields of opponents.
It is also good to invest in some END or stamina consumption Ex-Mods as the mace does consume more stamina than the sword. Either investment should result in routine use without stamina dropping to 0.
For those that prefer to use Sword Skills, it would be good to put points into DEX and Mind as they enable you to do more Sword Skills that deal greater damage.
Mace Sword Skills Usage
There are 3 categories of Mace Sword Skills:
-
Displacing the enemy
Displacing the enemy is often done by bringing the enemy up into the air and either hitting them back down or letting them fall on their own far away from your position
These skills include: Wave Bash, Spiritfall, Riot Smash, and Absorbing Strike
-
Hitting the enemy hard
Some Sword Skills just hit very hard and do strong damage against opponents.These skills include: Clashbang, Beatdown, Double Cleave, Solid Sling, Tri-Horn Medley
-
Staggering the enemy
These Sword Skills usually use crush skills to stagger an opponent all while dealing damage upon them.These skills include: Clashbang, Bull Rush, Wave Bash, Solid Sling, Riot Smash, Tri-Horn Medley
Each Sword Skill has its place and some might do better in the overworld than in boss fights. For example, Sword Skills like Spiritfall that displace the enemy by launching them into the air may work great on elite enemies, but will not work against bosses, even if it deals the same damage.
Choose according to your play style. Some require for you to hold the attack button while implementing the Sword Skill to do more hits like Tri-Horn Medley or Riot Smash.
Recommended skills to use in general: Solid Sling (for enemies far away), Tri-Horn Medley, Bull Rush, Double Cleave
