Overview

Heromace1.jpg

War Mace is a melee powerset. It is a Tanker secondary power set in City of Heroes and as of Issue 12 a Brute primary power set in City of Villains.

You can wield a Medieval Mace or other graphic variations and master a variety of powerful Smashing attacks. Attack speeds are good, and the weight of the Mace has good Disorienting capabilities. The sheer weight of this weapon give it a bonus to hit.
