How do you find the maul? Been using the spin to win axe into ng+3 and im finding that dying is a non issue. I'm thinking of respecing into a maul crit build for more dmg. Thoughts? (playing berserker)

Maul is the main weapon I use on my warlock-summomer. The stun is pretty neat and you can add extra layer of cc by giving your maul a stunning enchant. Give it atk speed and your enemy don't get to play. Also hit harder than every weapon

I thought it was already pretty good and then this update buffed it lol.

I've been enjoying Axe on Tyrant. The damage buff passive is nice

I'm a maul / berserker enjoyer. But it really depends how you play, if you use the whirlwind on axe a lot its probably better, where as maul has better standard attacks and can hit for a huge damage smack with the special. Think maul requires a little more investment in attack speed though

Are 2handers that much better than sword and board? I've been using a disarming or stunning 1hander plus shield. I'm struggling to clear Ng+1 because stuff is so much tankier.

Yeah, I can see that. Those autos do hit pretty hard. Also, I think the spin scales off attack speed as well, so both could work in that setup.

Do you spec into crit chance and dmg, or just crit dmg?

Played with a parry sword and board on my paladin. Took a lot longer to clear by myself, but I rarely got hit for much. This was NG tho, not sure how it scales into NG+1.
If numbers help, my 2h wep is around 90-100 dmg, crits are as high as 2.5k

Paladins might have a better chance at finding mauls. Warriors can use every equipment so their item pool is huge. The chance of getting a maul is lower then say a paladin.
