Looking for 2 Mauls

[English_Warrior]

I am looking for 2 Mauls:

A) Banishing Maul of Pure Good.

B) Holy Maul of Disruption.


If you have either of these and would be willing to sell them let me know what + they are and how much you want for them....obviously I would prefer undamaged items...but I will be willing to accept a little damage.


I would also be willing to trade them for small or medium shroud ingredients.

Let me know if you are interested.

[Hokonoso]

curious as to what you are banishing... even my maul using barb doesnt use a maul to banish anything, let alone something that needs pure good on it.

All the shavarath mobs in the vale....you need good to bypass a lot of their DR (Bearded Devils/Orthons) and they are all Banishable.

Seems like Banishing of PG would be the optimal 1 weapon fits all for that area....am I missing something?

[BlackPlague]

It sounds like a good idea to combine dr bypassing with banishing, I tried it once, the only problem is that your essentially gimping either side of the equation. Because you're using a maul (crit range 20, or 19-20 with improved crit bludgeon) your limiting the amount of crits you're going to roll as opposed to using a rapier (18-20, 15-20) therefore limiting the number of banishments. On the other hand, since banishing is a lvl 10 affect on a weapon, you're also gimping the DPS you're going to get.

IMO you're better of sticking with a) a +2-5 banishing weapon with a higher crit range, maybe with a stat damager kicker. Or b) a High DPS weapon like Greensteel (holy or good burst to bypass the dr) or even just a holy burst of pure good weapon.

Either one of these options will help you take down the devils and orthans much faster than a banishing of pure good maul.

If he has stunning blow (or someone in his party is holding) I'd say the maul is worth a space on the hotbar, no?

I already have a Min II Greensteel Maul and a Lit II Greensteel Maul....plus a whole host of others (like greater elemental bane/phase hammer/stunners/trippers/smiters/cursespewing/stat damagers/Metalline PG/paralyzers etc).

This particular fighter is capped and I am looking to round out the weapons he has available for the next few months he will spend as a level 20 (while I get all the raid gear I want) and for his upcoming TR life.

But this is all beside the point....I am looking for the 2 weapons I listed....my reasons are my own...if you have them and are willing to sell them, let me know

I think their point is that you should check House D instead of the forums.

Ok thanks for that great advice.... don't you think I have been looking in the AH and the House D Vendor?! I've been looking for these items for a good 6 months with no luck. I don't know how it is on your server but good Mauls seem quite hard to come by on Sarlona....if I do a full unrestricted AH search I get at most 4 pages of Mauls and half of those seem to be the generic +1 Maul. The House D vendor will usually have 1 or 2 Mauls per price level if I am lucky.

My god, you people are acting like I asked if somebody had a spare kidney I could buy....its just a couple of randomly created Mauls....I don't need a lecture....is that really too much to ask?

I'll say it again....IF you have either of these weapons and are willing to trade/sell them let me know...otherwise this thread is not intended for you and I am sorry I wasted your time.

Actually he plays on Sarlona. You just not checking the vendors at a good time. I always sell junk like a BANISHING MAUL to vendor. Same with the other maul u looking for.
Don't stick to just house D vendor also. Check the amrath vendor, as you said you are lvl 20 so YOU should know where that is right? If not, post back and I can give you directions to get there.
And there is also a weapon vendor in the inspired quarters. Same as above, need directions I can tell you how to get there also.

I kinda get where your coming from, your characters likes mauls. But as others posted, mauls are LESS efficient when banishing, just get a rapier. Having all Maul weapons on your hotbars might look cute, but cute went out during the my little pony days. You probably didn't ask for advice but by posting you opened yourself up to it. Next time, take the advice without being a smartass or just don't post and stick to trade forums ingame.

With the way this thread had been going, I wasn't willing to assume anything, and it was actually intended to be helpful. To clarify though:

1. The banishing maul is something that I'm fairly confident 99+% of the forum posters would sell at a vendor instead of banking, hence the advice to check there. You may find someone that would hold on to the holy disruptor for a lowbie, but most important undead are immune to disruption as you get higher level, so adding in the holy probably makes it less valuable to most.
2. You're offering small & medium shroud ingredients, which I can't imagine many forum posters actually want.
3. At least in my experience, people are more willing to trade if you state up front what you're willing to pay/trade for it instead of asking the person with the item for a price. If you came in here offering a good amount of plat for it, I might actually go out of my way to hold on to it if I ever do encounter one. I'm certainly not going to if you're offering small/medium ingredients for it.

[mudfud]

I have a +1 holy maul of distruption lvl 14 with 1 tick of damage on a mule, but I don't want small or medium ingredients unless it's 20 of each ingredient.

But I'm sure with the recommendations you recieved in this thread you will search more then the House D vendors and just might find one in a day or so ingame.

nevermind

[vyvy3369]

It's just slashing weapons that cannot be randomly generated with Banishing - Bludgeoning & Piercing exist. The problem with Bludgeoning banishers though is that they all have bad crit ranges, so they're all effectively vendor trash.

[kinar]

doh...yeah yer right...stupid brain

[Phidius]

I've only recently come back to the game (and in a casual manner) so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong...I'm also fairly surprised that noone else has mentioned this so maybe they changed it...but

with the exception of a (couple?) named slashing swords or perhaps some ancient gear...the banishing property isn't available on a maul. Only piercing weapons have the banishing property.

This might be why you can't find the item.

No, they're out there. They don't exist on slashing weapons (except for the named longsword from the abbot).

My very first Banisher that I ever pulled was on a maul, back when banishers were rare drops... and I had a hard time selling it in the AH.

doh! I I tried to edit to cover my tracks that show just how stupid I've become ...thanks for making sure the evidence is still there +1 to you

Hi engish (saxon?) warrior, im not sure if anyone told you, you can also use the inspired quarter vendors as well. I find a lot of different weapons in there, inclueding blunt banishers. Yeah blunt weapons normally have a poor crit range 20 or 19-20 with improved crit, 19-20 is 10% chance? If you get a rapier its 18-20 15%? If you have improved crit blunt, and you have power attack, 2 hand fighting I can see why you would want to use a maul over a rapier, esp if you got kensai enhancements in Mauls? You lose the dps from all the feats enhancements if you use a rapier instead for a gain of 5% more chance to crit? So in your calculations thats not a good enough trade off? Also you might just like the look of big hammers and think pointy swords would look wrong on your charactor? Anyway just my 2cents, im just guessing.

I actually get an 18-20 on Mauls so a rapier is actually a downgrade due to the x2 instead of the x3 crit.

I am also aware of the various vendors in the game thank you.....see the previous page of pointless arguing

If you have a light2 weapon, I can tell you that there's almost nothing that's likely to fail its save vs a banishing weapon you won't kill in 4-5 hits.

....or less

Of course your right...but as I already said, I want to collect the full set of effects. Future proofing if you like. I am a bit OCD like that...I have to get every explorer point and every rare and every quest on every character...even when they have capped XP. My characters like the self-satisfaction of completing objectives. May seem silly to most, but that is just me.
