Not really. They got everything, bit of jack of all trade. They got a solid attack chain, secondairy effects are handy and the moves are quite fun (headsplitter still gives that 'DODGE THIS!' feeling).

But they have nothing to make them 'unique' to others.

They have 'issues', but if you can live with those, both are very enjoyable sets. (i did change the sound of the mace, because i dont like it).

Versus:
So i asume he doesnt want to take /SS.

My few thoughts on both, theme wise they both look awsome.
Both have redraw issues, specialy with no healling u need stuff like aidself and shield charge will also remove your weapon, next attack u draw it again. Also that mez-clicky afaik removes weapon, another annoying point.

Damage wise, mace got alot of love not long again, now doing slightly more damage then axe. With secondairy effect stun its not that loved, we all still know the 'i wonder off 100ft because i just got stunned' mobs. Axe has knockdown, very nice to have and with some luck you can keep em on their back nonstop. Mace however got a annoying 'chrrrr' sound, while axe really has that 'SWOOOP' sound (basicly, broadsword).

Downside? Both are SL. Their AoE isnt really that much damage, some of the animation are still quite long and the cone/AoE is very small. They both have no ranged ability and every epic pool u pick will result in redraw. Both also are in my feeling what low on damage, specialy against SL resisted mobs this can be very annoying (council werewolfs etc).

*how much that BaB dude can talk, redraw does affect your character, timewise. Be it only 0,5 sec upto 1sec, having this every freaking time gets plain annoying. Weaponbased sets still are 'lesser' then others, specialy if you use powers of the other sets alot (epic/primairy/pool). They keep continuing trashout more and more weaponbased sets (bow, dualblade, soon dual gun), while never fixing the 'core issue'. Imaging how it plays wit a merc/TA/mace, activily using every power.

Well, i could think up a different set for blasters, weaponry.

AR/bow as primairy, katana/dualblade as secondairy.

The only non-elemental (i say psi is elemental) is /dev, but still imho is gimped (no BU, situation based damage etc).

Thats rubbish. Someone who can grab and keep agro with such penalties go beyond the easy-pease mode of run-through-and-stand-still like ice set.

Granites dont need to worry for themselfs, they only have to look after the team.

Dominator also got a nice set of ranged and melee.

More general, arguing wich is 'best' on the internet is already stupid.

Installing as we speak

I forgot that the CPU in the oldy laptop cant handle 64bit, so had to redownload and burn the DVD again.

1 thing for sure, it wont make the 'wooo i love this serious!' 15 minutes install, but the way it goes so far, it gonna be damn faster then the oldie XP.

Well, good idea.

A rez power! Pet goes down, medic runs at him, pops a needle of adredaline and hits the 220 charge. CLEAR!

Something like soul extraction.

Added that non AE missions get that new feature so u can spawn a map based on 8 people, while being alone. Issue 16 feature i believe.

I dont think less, but more efficient.

Tomorow at work we'll going for the big trial, 5 year old laptops are gonna get the RC
(1.8ghz Celeron with 512MB memory and shared-mem videocard).

If it runs smooth, then i am serious conviced Win7 is better then XP.
