Why mauls first? Mauls and mattocks are mechanicaly exactly the same.

no they aren't. mattacks are better against leather, mauls are better against plate. mauls also have a slight AvD advantage on plate, and a decent avd advantage against chainmail.

Maul .550 | .425 | .425 | .375 | .300 | 7 | C | 60/145

also...mauls are a giant fucking hammer, and sound really mean. mattock sounds like you're coughing.

Edited my post to reflect the TITLE OF THE POST

Mauls OR mattocks, either or, interchangable, don't care which so long as it is a maul or mattock

Also flails and flamberges, but only if I don't see a nice maul or mattock that I like



~L

Did I mention maul OR mattock?

I always like to view what weapons generally looked like as it is a bigger deciding factor to me than DFs or AvDs or RTs or what-have-you. Often I have a specific "look" or "feel" to the character.

This website was always useful to me.

Quite true.

However, perfect forged mattocks are better than mauls across the board. Also, at present there are no glyphs for mauls, so there is not an option for a perfect forged maul.

My two cents.

true, but then....you'd be swinging a mattock, which is sissy.

and a maul is a GIANT FUCKING HAMMER.

You're either swinging this:

Or this:

You tell me which is cooler.

Damnit, I may need a new keyboard after spraying coffee all over this one... thanks for ruining mauls for me!


Had a couple of cool offers, but I'm still poking around to see what's out there before buying.

I'm specifically looking for something with flares and/or a higher enchant, and would really prefer something of the "sledgehammer" variety (dare to dream, I know)

I am specifically NOT looking for anything damage weighted nor from someone named Tsin, Bubbauno or PooFace (Yes, I am well aware all three are the same person)

Mauls and mattocks (forged or otherwise) are close enough to each other in cost and efficiency that it doesn't matter to me (to me personally), it's really the crush only and the look that I'm after...

I've never felt myself sitting here in tears going "Man I wish my weapon was 2.6% more powerful!" but that's me.... not really the min/max type... I play a burghal gnome warrior if that's any indication...

Now DUST OFF A HAMMER AND SELL IT TO ME

Mattocks are NOT sissy. Additionally, they are quite versatile. Why, just a couple of days ago I used mine to fix my scanner...

mattocks are sissy...they're like a hammer but not really, or a retarded pick....possibly a shovel with down syndrome.

maul -> giant fucking hammer -> awesomeness.

and going "office space" on old computer equipment is always fun.

Damn it feels good tobe a gangster.
