Talk:Mace (Dark Souls II)/@comment-50.74.42.98-20140430191218

This thing is ridiculous for PVE. Most bosses have high defense, so this thing will both outspeed and outdamage most other weapons even halfway into your first playthrough. Ignore the numbers when comparing your weapons unless the weapon you're comparing with is also Strike (blunt), because Strike outdamages both Slash and Thrust. I only prefer the Claymore for standard PVP due to its increased range, but the mace can still stunlock people to death very easily if you manage to get in close. Definitely a good all-around choice for any situation.
