+4 Maladroit Lt Mace of Bone Breaking

[DragonKiller]

Pulled this as an end reward last night. Was wondering what it might be worth?

+4 Maladroit Light Mace of Bone Breaking ML:16 no RR

[Forceonature]

Not a whole lot, as they're not in very high demand, and it's a lvl 16 item. Maybe 20-25K plat?

[CSFurious]

it is worth a decent amount

if you dual-wield that with a weakening/enfeebling weapon with crippling strike, certain mobs are going down very fast in a different way, i.e., no vorpalling or w/p'ing

i would pay 50,000 plat for it or might trade some ingredients for it

it is a good off-hand weapon for a smart rogue

[DragonKiller]

I'd way prefer in'gre'da'munts over Plat. Mostly looking for.. well you know. Large Scale(s)

[sirgog]

It's an extremely rare combination, and dual BB/M is the fastest way to incap most mobs in the game (even despite the low crit ranges on bludgeoning weapons).

A Barbarian with two of those and Crit Rage 2 is a sight to see indeed - they'll incap mobs faster than a dual WoP barb will kill them, as most mobs have lower Dex than Con.


It's currently undervalued (IMO), just as Weakening of Enfeebling was undervalued a couple of months ago. (I picked up two WoE longswords for 10k PP each back then - now they'd be worth 100k PP each).

I've vendored a bunch of these. It's a good weapon but unless you have improved crit:bludgeon it's not going to get a lot of play. I don't know how many characters there are that would dual wield these. Maybe a bard with a shield may use?

Yea, I will hold on to it before I either vendor it or give it away to cheaply. I have a feeling it's gonna be worth more than people think. But, we'll see...

It could possibly become worth more. The biggest problem keeping it lower is actually its rarity. A whole party using M/BB weapons would be more efficient than a party wielding WoE at incapping almost all foes (and would incap far faster than a party with WoP's would kill).

But, these things are as rare as WoP weapons, and less desired, so there just are not parties of all M/BB weapon users (or even for that matter parties where the more geared-out characters use M/BB and the others use plain Maladroit weapons).


Were a good M/BB named item to be placed in a quest, IMO it'd be worth a lot quite soon afterward, as Dex damage would become more viable to PUGs.

Is weakening of enfeebling starting to be appreciated more now? I have a +2 weakening of enfeebling shortsword that I couldn't even give away a few months ago.

Put it on the Auction House for 100k plat, it'll sell. (If you're lucky, you may get more - perhaps post it once with a minimum of 150k PP and a buyout of 250k PP, then drop it over time if it doesn't sell).

There's a lot of Beholders at current endgame, and they get incapped fast by Str damage.

the reason w/p and w/e are worth so much is because they crit on high ranges (18-20 or 15-20 with improved crit) I can't think of a single bludgeoning weapon that crits on anything other than a 20.

so even with improved crit, you have a max of 10% change to remove 1d6 dex vs up to 30% chance with either of the other stat damage types. (or 40% with barbs)

Dont go after dex on one hand and str in another. Especially if Rogue...go after STR in both hands since you have crippling strike.

BB weapons have bad crit ranges. You do 1d6 Dex damage every 20 hits. Oooooooh 2d6 every 20 with Imp Crit. Id rather do 20d6 of damage with say Pure Good.

That's more than balanced by the lower Dex (compared to Str and Con) that many monsters have.
