Good point Hessah.

Lots of DEX from gear = much better aim. ^^

I usually use hammer. I'm using a +9 blue mace now, and its damage is about 400 less than the +9 hammer I was using before. :S The attack speed of maces is higher, but overall I think hammer is better.

Bleh, what do I know. I don't solo. >_>

i think comparing a BLUE mace to a green hammer is a bit out of context here.... XD

wouldnt a blue mace have a faster attack speed than a green/npc mace by nature?

@ Hessah:
Yeah, possibly. xD

So... I guess Hammer is win then. :3

Enhanced attack speed on a blue is a option, not a feature.

Even though I'm a lower lvl than you I would recommend hammers due to the extra damage they have and higher crit rate which is important due to the fact that crits will do more damage and my build is the 25 spr 50 end rest in str build. My +7 lvl 20 hammer did more damage than my green +5 lvl 30 mace even though the mace gave me +14 str. It's up to you but what you can do is just have a cheap lvl 30 mace and use the lvl 40 hammer and use the trip bleed combo with bash.

If it was me I would use the +9 blue mace due to the extra crit, stats, and the faster attack speed but that's just me.

My friend actually timed himself using a mace and a hammer... and the mace was faster in killing monsters...

Crit more than usual maybe while using the mace, mob HP slotting into that gray area where the mace would be faster, hitting a lower-leveled variation of the mob, Hammer still does more damage.

Perhaps because he didn't use an aim scroll?

For the hammer to be most effective, you'll have to not miss, because it's like a huge amount of damage dealt in a relatively 1-2-3 swing succession... if you miss a hit, then you'll have to wait for another 1-2-3 series to deal damage again...

maces miss less X.x
