Summary

The Mace Fighting skill allows the use of slow hitting blunt weapons.

  • Mace class weapons cannot be Poisoned.
  • All mace class weapons inflict stamina loss on the defender in PvP as if the attack had dealt 25% more damage than what was actually inflicted
  • The chance to hit with a mace class weapon is equal to (attacker's mace fighting skill + 50) / ((defender's weapon or wrestling skill + 50) * 2) plus any relevant accuracy bonuses
  • Increases Base Weapon Damage by (25% * Skill / 100) as a secondary weapon skill (when using another weapon skill) in PvM.
  • Reduced to Base Weapon Damage by (10% * Skill / 100) as a secondary weapon skill (when using another weapon skill) in PvP.

PvM Special Attack

  • Only works against creatures, not other players
  • Players have a 10% base chance of inflicting a Special Attack against creatures
    • This chance can be further increased via the Arms Lore, Water Aspect Armor, or Mastery Chain Links
    • Increases damage dealt by the attack that generated the special by 50% (by up to 100% if the target is at or taken to 0 AR)
    • Pierces the target for 8-16 seconds (reduces target's Effective Armor Value by 25)
    • If the pierce effect would reduce target's effective armor below zero, the damage of the attack is increased by a % equal to the amount of AR in excess of 0
      • Example: a creature at 20 AR would be reduced to 0 AR and then take 80% extra damage (50% + 30% additional)
    • Effect duration scales based on weapon speed (slower macing weapons have longer effect duration) and creature difficulty
