As for more Maces in general, I suspect you'll see them slightly after Battle Axe but before Katana...
Agreed. It's not really a popular set (many think it's underpowered) so it gets shuffled to the back row, I think.
Dec out.

It was a large explanation on how talsorian fields work and why it wouldn't make sense to use them to make blunt weapons due to their low mass and fragility. However, why we can't get a non-talsorian vanguard mace hasn't been explained yet.

Wait...This a game based on High Science, Comic Book Lore, & Magic, & other crazy stuff.
He's trying rationalize why there isn't a Talsorian Mace?
You build a Handle, Place in Thick Rod Frame, with the Energy between said frame, Ta-Da
-sighs-
Looking at Broadsword & Dual Blade's getting all these new things is neat, but Im a smasher, I feel for Katana some(yes they got A blade with Ninja pack, that is technically more then Mace has gotten & yes for awhile there, mace had the most custom's around), but they where not exactly spectacular. Axe could use couple more variant axe's the one's from ITF are nice though.

Mace's what?
I used to fiddle with my back feet music for a black onyx. My entire room absorbed every echo. The music was . . . thud like. The music was . . . thud like. I usually played such things as rough-neck and thug. Opaque melodies that would bug most people. Music from the other side of the fence.

Maybe you don't play many tanks or brutes, but it's a much more popular set since it was buffed over a year ago.As for underpowered, many would now give it the edge over Axe, for AoE damage in particular.

"Behind the times" would be it (I never even noticed...but then, about a year ago was when my computer died and I was six months getting a new one). |

I wouldn't have noticed on mine as I don't play him much and I don't pay attention to such things. To me, the difference would probably only be that before I'd have to hit something four times instead of three and that would just make me sure to carry blues.
I picked my mace tank to make The Mighty Thunor as a concept so it's performance meant nothing to me personally. 
Dec out.
