I belive you dosnt test this on realy big boss.Hit fatigue combined with the mqcing lower ssi special and/or the the fencing stam drain special is very effective.
Mana drain is also nice, especially against necro casters
I guess is Scalis, Corgul, underwater, roof, all the champs, the harrower, and all the peerless dont count as big bosses...I belive you dosnt test this on realy big boss.
Macing and fencing masteries is effective or not by themselves.
But i've tested Fatique & Mana drain and it dosnt work at all on big bosses
Mana drain shines when combined with wraith form for the double mana sapFatigue works for sure. Many hard hitting bosses can be beat down to no stam and held there. This works for almost all peerless and champ spawn bosses.
mana drain is not as useful. Too many bosses have such large mana pools that they would be dead before you bring them down to no mana.
You can use it. It will work off your magery or your macing, whichever is highestWhat would happen if my Macer used that weapon? Would he have -20 weapon skill?
I have never used a mage weapon.
