Hi, guys, just wanted to pick your brains. I have a Jade Mace in main hand and Knuckle Duster in Off, is that correct, or should it be reversed?

I'm new to the server and having a blast. Just got Pugwash to 11 and trying to scrape the funds together for the ac/hp rings.

Anyway, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Due to damage caps, until L10 the mace is vastly superior. From 10-19, both are about equal, however any bonus str will favor the mace due to the damage cap of 28. From 20-27, damage cap has loosened up enough that it would be wise to swap the Knuckle Duster to mainhand for fewer ripostes, less damage from DPS and better aggro management. At 28 the introduction of the primary hand damage bonus renders the mace better for mainhand for the rest of your leveling career.

Summary:

L1-19 - mace in primary hand for best dps
L20-27 - knuckle in primary hand for lower dmg in (DPS is same)
L28+ - mace in primary hand for best dps
