[TBag]

After playin my swordie a bit I'm convinced that they're way better than str builds.

When you attack with a sword, it only takes away 4 stamina on a heavy attack (this applies to ranged weapons too) versus roughly 35 for a light attack and 110~ for a heavy attack with a basher. Also psyche up actually regens my stamina while it drains about 18 per click on maces.
When you reach 25agi+, swords way out damage maces and such. The max dmg on a 33 agi sword is 256 and max on str is 140. When you connect with a heavy attack you hit for your weapon's full damage. But Tbag, Str improves dmg! Yeah, by 2 points per stat. So add 66 to your 140 and you get 204. The only advantage to using a mace is the higher minimum damage which goes along very well with a high level enchantment so you can pound em with light hits and make them lose a couple turns, versus swords where if you try to use a quick hit you're going to be hitting for the bottom range, which is about 10-20 for mid level swords, so quick hits with swords aren't viable options of dealing damage. But you still lose turns on the maces because of the drain on your stamina that you wouldn't lose w/ a sword.

If you abuse the AI's idiotic tendencies and try to time your psyche-up skill well, you can really dominate. Whenever you land a grevious hit, you do 150% of your weapons max damage. So the obvious advantage is clear for the swords here. And especially when your magic gets to whirlwind (which is grevious attack with no warm up), you can [censored] people up really badly.

Also, if you're getting a beating up close you can easily jump away and rock em with a bow. With a 33 agi bow you can expect an average hit of about 70 (bombard).

So if anyone is still reading this (I feel like I'm writing a [censored] research paper), pros and cons...

Swords
Pros: Higher damage, virutally unlimited attacks without resting, can move around the screen at will and resort to your bow in emergencies (or use the bow to weaken if you wanna play safe), grevious blows are retardedly strong.
Cons: Normal hits are high variance. You can hit anywhere in your weapons damage range. Quick hits are super gay. Like really, really bad. If your opponent has a high defense expect to get blocked a lot on your normal attacks.

Maces
Pros: Their quick attacks are pretty decent.
Seriously, this is the only pro I can think of for maces/str weapons. They're gay.
Cons: They suck.

Keep in mind I haven't gotten up to the very highest levels yet so things might turn around. But for where I am now, I think my lvl 24 agi hero can pwn the tourney my lvl 30 str hero is struggling in.
