Mace Fighting

Mace fighting skill allows the use of slow hitting blunt weapons.

• NO weapons classed as maces can 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.

PvM: Macing Weapon Special Attack

• Only works against creatures, not other players
• Players have a 10% chance of inflicting a Macing Weapon Special Attack against creatures
• This chance can be further increased via the Arms Lore Skill, 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 Armor Value by 50)
  • If the pierce effect would reduce target's 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
