Mace skills are too slow for no reason

The only way they are slow is if you use a 2h, which makes sense since you one shot everything (currently level 87)


Just use a 1h if you don’t like the slow attack speed it’s all over damage anyways

The slow, weighty feel of maces works great until it doesn't. Eventually you'll reach a point where watching that wind up will get you killed or stunned out of it and then killed. Idk how that can be fixed without speeding it up or slowing everything else down.

Maces feel good for what poe 2 wants to be in my opinion.
It's the mob design in the endgame that feels bad.

If maces (and other abilities) are to have a minimum attack time based on the animations, mobs should also have a cap on how fast they can move/attack/cast regardless of how many mods are stacked on them.

I think maintaining control of the speed of the game is a way to deliver on that "slower, more considered gameplay" vision, and it's the direction I'd like to see the devs moving to.

I like the slow chunkiness. Its a big mace and it feels like it. The problem is with the mobs and their attack speed. It makes it feel like im playing two different games. Mobes either need some kind of cooldown on attacks or add some kind of defensive mechanics to mace. Give mace attacks some kind of built in super armor/ increased armor/ resistance/ damage reductions/ during the wind up. I think you should still get punished for using your skills at the wrong time but it shouldnt feel impossible to use the skill. Or even a frontal guard system ( bdo thank you) for certain skills with long wind ups. Where the front of the character is invincible up until a certain damage threshold to where the shield is broken and you are stunned for making a bad choice.

i strongly disagree too, mace attacks should feel slow and heavy, wait for the sword/axe/spear or dagger to come out if you want a faster class then..

I get that it's a bit unlucky that he only melee class we got in early access is a slow truck, but god damn you can't make The only slow weapon class in game faster... That would ruin the whole fantasy about maces..
