Fire/mace

Hola, I've had a fire/mace from the start of the game and have gotten a good bit a mileage out of it, and I still find it to be one of the more fun combination's to play, especially after the recent buffs (07-08) to war mace.
The added primary damage from f/a helps the mace, and the disorients and knockdowns from w/m provide good damage mitigation for fiery aura.

Overall I've played the pairing in most situations and found the two sets work well together.

Some pros & cons from each:
w/m pros
good attack speeds, some disorienting capabilities, accuracy bonus, moderate endurance use, heavy smashing aoe, strong s/t damage.

cons
moderate stun effects
Comparatively lacks a "wow" power ie total focus-knock out blow
weapon redraw

f/a pros
high overall resists, easily capping resistance to fire damage,
a buildup power, good self heal power which also offers resistance to toxic, a self +endurance power, a self rez, very good damage in blazing aura and burn plus minor aoe damg in consume

cons
no defense, low resist to cold damage, endurance intensive, no knockback resistance

Here's my f/m's current build to give you some ideas if you're interested. Have fun. :]
