Best mace infusion?

[Dafi]

I'm rocking a faith build, got told the best would be lightning infusion, but what about heavy + lightning weapon buff?

If I am being honest. Go Both. Each path has their own advantages and disadvantages, but as you seem to be planning on using the mace, you can get multiple copies in one run.

Lightning infusion will give you the highest AR of the two options, but the actual damage may vary depending on enemy resistances. This is also a permanent lightning buff and won't cost FP unlike the Lighting Blade buff.

A heavy infusion will allow you to buff your mace with Lightning Blade AND/OR Darkmoon Blade allowing you to swap damage types depending on enemy resistances. The downside is obviously these buffs are not permanent and cost FP.

So basically, get two maces. Lightning infuse one and heavy infuse the other. Use the lightning infusion on all enemies not resistant to lightning and swap to the heavy mace and buff it with either Darkmoon Blade or any other resign you got.

If you are doing a pvp focus 40 strength and 60 faith on a Cleric will keep you in pvp range. Elemental infusions on strength weapons are usually pretty awful with exception of the Dark and Chaos Exhile Greatsword.

But If you are just doing pve why stop leveling?

I have a 120 build with 66 strength and 60 faith wearing loyde's and flynns with a dmb/lightning blade heavy mace and my 2 handed ar becomes 875.

Yeah, I’m most likely gonna go for just PVE and occasionally coop in general, so probably I won’t stop leveling up, thanks for the help!

Well, you should because matchmaking rules apply for co-op too
