What do you think about the combo mace + shield? I never saw someone talking about this (only axe/sword + shield). I want to know about the opinion of yours.

Spellbreaker + Mace of Molag Bal

Too bad there arent any Daedric Artifacts of gloves, boots, and amulets. Then we could be a walking Daedric Artifact.

Spellbreaker a must but I like a Daedric mace. I think most dont like the mace because it's heavy and hard to swing, but when it connects "BAM"

Only problem with Maces and Warhammers, is they don't have their own finishers. So they take from others and look dumb. (Mace decapitating?)

I always thought of it as pretty much baseballing the enemy's head off. You swing the blunt weapon with enough force that it just knocks their head off, I guess?

this^

Also, Cleric/sort-of paladin style is the best style.

Why not? 75% armor penetration is too sweet to pass by.

It's a great combo as a shield bash gives you plenty of time to swing the mace without being hit. I like it better then a sword and shield.

Why not? It sounds just as normal as Sword & Shield. Probably even more so because of the slower swing. Need the defense.

Poor maces never gets any love

It works really well. While they are recovering from bash you have plenty of time time to crack their skulls

A good combo for the Orc barbarian type that.

Maces and Orcs go together like PB & J

My female Orc wields the Mace of Molag Bal with the Targe of the Blooded

I used a mace exclusively for my war priest. Fit the rp quite nicely.

^ This. It does fit their image really well. I think the Ebony mace looks the best although I do miss the normal steel one from Oblivion. That thing was beastly!

Yep, that's still one of my favorite combos.

Especially when you have Deadly Dragons or SkyRe, which gives creatures/monsters Armor Rating (which they didn't have in non modded Skyrim).

I don't really use maces anyway.

I go either Sword and Shield. or Bow

Sometimes I use two-handers

Not a huge fan of maces. Unless its my best weapon i have/ a really cool looking one

My Dwemer Loving character uses Spellbreaker and a Mod added Morrowind Style Dwemer Mace. Vampires and Undead get Dawnbreaker, everything else gets to experience Dwemer craftsmanship.

Take it one step further and add all ebony armor and an adept hood to boost the magika for all the resto spells. Looked bad ass.

In reality it would probably just make their head explode like a watermelon.

Nice one, I might try that with my Dunmer character.

I used it for my Dwemer roleplay; http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130217233545/elderscrolls/images/e/e1/Concept_art_of_two_dwemer_people.jpg

aside from roleplay or preference there really isn't much of a difference in practicality. do what you want, nothings stopping you, nothing will be different

Mace and shield work very well. It's the best combination for one-handed imo as a shield blocks and bashes whilst mace gives maximum hit. With a shield to block and stagger there is no need to concern about swing speeds.

My latest character is an Imperial in light armor using mace and shield supported with restoration and it works very well. One of my best in fact.

Its definately a nice touch. Gives it a gothic feel which I enjoy.
