I have a lvl 50 WP/Mace tank and its a great toon. Shatter and Crowd Control do indeed do knockdown on most targets. If you are much higher than the mob, then the mag means it knocks them back (Doing this to lvl 1 mobs in Atlas is very entertainign 
) But on normal mobs, it will usually knock them down. Jaw breaker does a nice amount of knockup, but Ive yet to see it do knockback, even on lvl 1 mobs (But I have gotten a few caught in the power lines as they plummet back to earth )
Axe does more damage, but with added stuns, and a good amount of knockdown, your mace becomes part of your damage mitigation, which on a WP/ can come in very usefull!
Excellent. Thanks Eddy. Any skippable powers on Mace side? I'm thinking Clobber, Pulverize and maybe BU (even tho I always end up picking BU)

Clobber is definately skippable. Pulverize is nice in the lower levels when you are short on attacks, but if you team lots and have VET powers, thats not such an issue. I took it at about 18 or so, and then specced out of it when I hit 42.
Once you have Shatter, Whiling Mace, Crowd Controll and Jawbreaker, you rarely need to use much else. I picked up BU at 49, and never really missed it, but then I built him as a Damage soaker first, damage dealer second. Tough is great with WP/, Weave is nice to have, but can be left till later.
The last 2 powers in mace are the really good ones, so it can feel a lil damage light till then, so Pulverize can be worth it to fill in the gaps.
Howdy.I think I've read something on US forums about mace no longer doing knockback, but only knockdown/up. Can any1 confirm this? I'm thinking of rolling a WP/Mace, but if there's any key power with knockback then I'll probably go with /SS or /Axe instead.
Cheers.
