Think you take out another one, but redraw doesn't change DPS at all. Or so i hear.

Unless something is different for War Mace using Mace Mastery, think it does affect DPS.
Here is Werner (Scrapper god) in a recent scrapper thread on broadsword.

Correct. The "redraw" animation has been moved inside the animation time window of powers and so do not effect damage output at all. This being said, I hate it with a passion and do my best to avoid any situation where I have to redraw a weapon as even though I know it has no effect on my DPS, it still feels like I'm slowing down my attack rate.]
Incorrect.
That's how it used to be YEARS ago, and yes, the redraw myth was debunked years ago. Then, also years ago, the devs buffed the weapon sets by removing the redraw animation time from the attacks. That was much better aesthetically, with the attacks flowing into each other without standing there for the redraw pause without redraw animation. And of course it buffed DPS significantly. It also means that NOW, in the modern game, there IS a redraw penalty. Your impression is correct. Redraw is slowing down your attack rate.

Ah, thats always what its felt like for me. But when ppl like Bill Z insist otherwise figured they were right. And i never cared enough to find out, as i dont use weapons cuz of redraw. lol

DPS is not something you should really worry about unless you are always seamlessly using your attack chain (AV fight, Pylon Soloing, etc).
For general play, most enemies don't survive through an entire attack chain.
So even though you will face redraw, I think you can still add a nice large PPP TAoE to your arsenal, and will probably do more for your AoE damage ouput than hinder it.
On the other hand, you don't want to try stuffing fire blast, mu lightning or gloom directly into your attack chain.
