draeganb16_ESO✭✭✭Let's take the worst case :
With a light amor, you have around 15k armor which is 22% damage reduction.
If you attack with a maul at 20% ignoring armor, the target armor is reduced to 12k which is 18%
So you increase your damages by 4%
Let's take the best case :
With a heavy armor, you have around 30k armor (33k is the hardcap) which is 48% damages reduction.
If you attack with a maul at 20% ignoring armor, the target armor is reduced to 24k which is 36%
So you increase your damages by 12%
You have infos, make your choice

✭✭@draeganb16_ESO Did you test this or just read tooltips? I'm asking since armour penetration probably was the game mechanic with the most bugs so far.Edited by lolo_01b16_ESO on September 11, 2015 10:36AM0 -

That doesn't take into account the battle-scaling (which is about 8-9k armor), but lot of people use buffs, pushing those values to 12k.
Mace is such a no-brainer here, it's not even funny.

I just used some math and informations about the game mechanic. I didn't test it myself.
Just don't forget that the damage reduction from PvP is not added so you will have to take that for final damages result
