I started my first run as a cleric yesterday noticed that the early game is just ridiculously easy with the mace. It's got good damage, hits pretty quick, and does crazy poise damage for it's speed.

So I realized I've never played through the game as a cleric and decided to do just that. (Also i've never used the mace) I get the mace, tears of denial, and the blessed red shield for a little Regen. The first thing I notice is the mace is just the best thing ever. Perseverance, strike damage, the moveset, it's all amazing. But I had 14 strength so the damage was lacking against twinks. I make it to the cathedral of the deep and find the blessed gem. After thinking to myself I thought "this can't be good but I need a faith weapon." MAN WAS I WRONG! Sure the damage to invaders is still pathetic but I never thought that a blessed mace would do acceptable damage against almost everything in pve. I had no issue fighting bosses or killing hoards of enemies. And because of the Regen and insane roll cathing and whiff punish game the mace has, I was able to kill a dragonslayer's Lapp in the cathedral! Sure it took 30 minutes because that armor is op, but I killed an estusing Lapp with a blessed mace. I new the mace was good, but man I think I found a new favorite weapon

00041EDB - WornThe Dark Mace is a Blunt weapon which can be taken from Dark Seducers. There are two types of the mace, regular and worn.
The world as we know it in this one is a complete Crapsack World, Europe is in a permanent dark age as petty warlords bide for power through war and oppression, Arabia under the cruel grasp of the Assassin's Guild and the Far East is about to witness the destruction brought upon Europe and Arabia. And God is seemingly unable to save the world from suffering or cleanse the world and start over.
Unfortunately however the warlords from the ravaged lands of Europe and Arabia want more power, dispatch their best warriors to kill Asmodeus and steal his power. Leaders from the East sense Asmodeus' plottings and strive to destroy him before it's too late. Heirs to kingdoms long since vanquished seek revenge on Asmodeus and those who wield the dark energy. They are the fiercest fighters on Earth, and they all have one thing in common: they each must possess the Mace.
Tropes of Mace: The Dark Age: A.I. Breaker: A minor version, based on the opponent. Al-Rashid and Ragnar both have attacks they like to use (a twirling attack for Al-Rashid, and a combo that involves rolling for Ragnar) that leave them open to a counterattack. Just guarding (though against Ragnar you have to duck as he starts to roll) and attacking as soon as they finish leaves them open for you to beat them up, and they'll never wise up to it. Almighty Janitor: Ned, a secret character in the home ports. Alternate History: According to the backstory, neither Christianity and Islam exist in this timeline, and as such, Europe and Arabia are highly balkanized and divided thanks to the Covenant of the Seven's actions. Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: Inverted in Taria's good ending. Her pursuit of magical knowledge sends her to Hell and turns her into a demon, though she doesn't mind and will probably end up running the place before long. Big Bad: Asmodeus is the final fight for every character, and responsible for filling Europe and Arabia with misery and despair. Big Bad Duumvirate: The Covenant of Seven, Asmodeus' human agents who do evil deeds in his name to maintain their power. Of them, Lord Deimos and Sir Dregan are playable, while three others are mentioned in fluff: the Sultan of Shiraq (Al-Rashid's employer), Duke Malanoche de Castillo (Taria's father), and the Khan (Xiao Long's father). Bittersweet Ending: Takeshi's good ending, his goal was to restore his family's honor and save his brother but he could not save his brother and is forced to live it down. Even his bad ending has him at least vindicated by history when he commits seppuku rather than betray his homeland. Combat Commentator: "Mordos Kull... WINS!" Crapsack World: Europe is beset by war and famine, Arabia is at the complete mercy of the assassins and Asia is next on the List. Crushing the Populace: The evil characters do exactly this if they win the game. This naturally causes a stagnation in technological development to the world. Several of the more benevolent character's bad ends reveal that it gets much worse without anyone to stop Asmodeus and the Covenant. Daddy's Little Villain: Taria is the daughter of a member of the Covenant of Seven. Devil, but No God: God is notably absent in humanity's darkest hour. Devour the Dragon: The bad end for anyone in the Covenant of Seven usually ends with this. The only exception is Lord Deimos, and he kills himself so he doesn't get mobbed by the oppressed populace. Downer Ending: Anyone who works for the Covenant of Seven such as Executioner, Deimos and Al Rashid will usher in a permanent age of hell to the world, except Dregan, who becomes The Atoner instead. Finishing Move: As with most western fighting games in it's time, every fighter can finish off the other in a brutal fashion. Hufflepuff House: Two members of the Covenant of Seven are playable, and Taria is the daughter of another, the rest are just there. It's a Wonderful Failure: Each character has a different epilogue if you get a Game Over in which you get to read in detail the rather gruesome outcome of his or her failure. Only featured in the Nintendo 64 port. Joke Character: The aforementioned Ned and a chicken named Pojo. But whereas Ned is just a reskin of Xiao Long, Pojo is a wholly unique character with her own backstory and special moves, such as throwing her eggs at the opponent. Karmic Death: The Executioner's bad ending has Asmodeus summon a Grand Inquisitor to teach the Executioner how one really tortures people. Now he is the only one that screams in his prison instead of everyone else. Lady of War: Taria. Namira, being the lost princess of Tulwara, also qualifies. Lethal Joke Character: Pojo is a chicken who throws eggs. She's surprisingly effective against Asmodeus, as most of his moves go right over her. Luke, I Am Your Father: Grendal is actually Taria's brother, who was given to Asmodeus by their father in order to trick him into believing he was Taria, who was prophesied to bring about his downfall. Mirror Match: Lampshaded through the pre-game banter. Ninja: Koyasha. Non Sequitur: Every character has rare pre-fight quotes that have some shade of irrelevant weirdness, from Ragnar pointing out "I drive a Fjord." or saying "Thanks for selecting me.", Lord Deimos declaring that his helmet is stuck or mentioning that sometimes he likes to play with kittens, Dregan offering somebody some lemonade, Ichiro calling Takeshi a wimp or stating that he needs some eyedrops, and Hell Knight expressing his belief that he would make a great plastic toy. That's not even the half of it, by the way. Our Zombies Are Different: Dregan is a Revenant. He represents the Undead with his seat in the Covenant of Seven, and his bio credits him as creating the first vampires as well. Punny Name: The Executioner has an inescapable island base called El Katraz. Scenery Porn: The backgrounds range from bland to impressively detailed. SNK Boss: Asmodeus. Four arms with massive reach, blatantly reading the controller input, and one special move serves no purpose other than countering Ragnar's Shockwave Clap. Stripperiffic: Unsurprisingly, the female fighters' outfits, with Namira's being one of the first uses of transparency (her see-through dancer's outfit) on a character model. Villainous Crush: Lord Deimos has the hots for Taria. An interesting example since both characters are evil, but she's having none of it. Villain Protagonist: The Executioner, Lord Deimos, Al Rashid, Taria, Hell Knight and Ichiro.
I've read on various forums that the Blue Flame Sword for sorcery casters can scale insanely well (innate magic damage, magic infusion, and crystal magic weapon). If done correctly, this can be the second best catalyst in the game. I've had a really hard time finding concrete info about the Mace of the Insolent. From what I've read, it won't do as well on a pure lightning/dark build because it scales both of them. The best info I could find was people saying they would test it and post results, and that was a month ago with no results posted. Can the Mace of the Insolent with a lightning infusion be a viable choice for a pure lightning caster?
First off, everything is viable in DaS2 PvP in the sense that you can use anything to beat anyone up so long as you have the skill (ladles OP). In comparison to Blue Flame, however, the Mace doesn't quite match up as a dual-function catalyst. The reason for this is fairly straightforward: Mace of the Insolent spreads itself too wide. Because it has to scale with both lightning and dark (because it acts as a catalyst for hexes and miracles), its damage and scaling for physical, lightning, and dark are all reduced in comparison to Blue Flame. Blue Flame is amazing simply because it only has to invest in physical and magic scaling. It's the classic D&D problem of MAD (Multiple Attribute Dependency).
Certain terms took on new meanings when the Star Wars canon was restructured and the Expanded Universe became Legends. One of the best examples of this was the Force ability known as Shatterpoint. In Legends, this power allowed the user to see the faults in things and exploit them to their advantage, making them highly formidable in battle. But in the new canon, this was more an ability that allowed users to sense key moments in a given event. As a result, this led to a skilled Force user like Mace Windu carrying a dark secret even he wasn't completely aware of.
