Just wasted my life forging a lv4 Iron Sledge :D
1H mace is by miles better even vs hordes of mob. :D

The problem of the 2h is that vs anything challenging, they don't have the block power of the shield. The only good thing of 2h imo is that you save 1 inventory slot.

P.s..: Lv4 ironsledge don't one shot Leech. :(
