Hally is without question the most powerful. There really isn't a macing weapon that even comes close to having the damage output a hally has.

Well in era mace was viable, but not on this server here you can only use haly as a mage.

[Greenhell]

ride around with a hally like everyone else YAWN. Stam drain means nothing because people can chug total refresh potions all day. Even if they run out of potions they can just invis item/recall once they dont want to fight you anymore.

Basically it's hally mage with 3 other hally mages or go home.

[Abyz]

Such poor attitudes...

Either one is a viable template. Swords mages are indeed the most "powerful", in terms of damage output... but macer mages are actually pretty nice in the field, with a quick quarterstaff and stamina drain. They are especially nice with a magic weapon.

In the field??

Ever fight a mace tank in an arena? Better have brought a red keg and 20 ping.

An Advantage of a Mace Mage is that you can be using Staffs of Lightning/Greater Heal/Fireball etc and not be penalized for having 0 macing when your opponent gets into melee range

Since you guys say mace works on a mage, how come EVERYONE is using a haly?

[Scienter]

Halberd mage is most effective. Macing has its place, and it's generally not on a mage.

I have an eval macer with healing and anat. Works fantastic and I've taken down some serious field pvp'ers with the template. I've considered building a true mace tank, but just never got around to it.

The only thing you miss is some burst damage, so it changes the play style a bit. You're holding spells longer and not relying on the harm, hit, harm, hit tactics of a hally mage; but rather wearing them down with the quick and consistent staff hits and then dropping spells as a finisher.

This guy is asking for pure mage, not hybrid thou.
I havent meet one mage using macing for the 3 years iw been here.

It's my name for the hybrid template I've built.

Still needs to be finished, but you get the idea. Should be GM resist and no med, so it plays like a dexer with full armor and I just hold an ebolt to finish.

Honestly, macing weapons do such mediocre damage for the most part that it's actually better on a mage character by far. Whenever I've had macing on a dexer I've found it takes me goddamn forever to kill anyone. Then I put it on a mage and oh look, knee deep in death.
