i'm not a math wiz, but if you want to measure DPS then lets take how many hits each can do in 20 seconds. hammer will hit 15 times and mace will hit 18. lets say both hit for only 10 damage(and asume they are same level). mace will do 180. and lets say hammer hits for 67%(16damage) more than mace, hammer will do 240damage in the same 20seconds. also hammer has a better chane to hit, and i dunno about you but i almost never miss yellow mobs.

hammer wins that dps game.

edit, i got a +3mace today from a mara KQ. i enchanted it to +6. and a lvl 20 +1 hammer still hits harder(like 3-5points more) since i had a back up i tried to enchant the hammer, but it blew up the first try. guess i'll be using a mace till lvl 30.

Hammers are better mace's aren't that good

i prefer maces for the extra aim and speed

I used the level 30 hammer just because it looked bad-ass.

i was checking my free stat window just before browsing the forum and an interesting thought came to my mind. hope i can explain with my poor english :)

so every point of STR added gives 1 dmg to my fighter - should be the same for a cleric- this far. every 5th point adds 2.
now i was wondering if these points are the same if one is using a mace or a hammer.
like lets say someone has put 50 points into str, that would add 60 to dmg. now if its the same 60 points dmg bonus for both the mace and the hammer, then with the mace's faster attack speed - after adding enough str - it could do more dmg over time as the hammer. hope you see what i mean.

also, maces got lower crit rate, but higher accuracy which could even out somewhat. but missing with the faster mace is not as bad as missing with the slower hammer. less dmg is lost and the next hit comes faster.

any thoughts on this?
