In my testing, I'm getting a higher single (as well as double) hit on both cit and non-crit with 2x 1h swords over 2x 1h maces.For me, this makes sense in a way, but in a way it doesn't? Shouldn't 20% armor penetration do more damage than 5% increase to damage? Additionally, the Nightblade skill Surprise Attack hits harder with swords equipped rather than maces.
Can anyone actually confirm that 20% armor penetration is working? Additionally, can anyone confirm that sharpened or 'Piercing' under the Mage-Ritual line?
Let fate be your guide.
