Bash is nice but you want max dps... Pet helps with dps and bash the mobs for you too... Later epic fix this dilemma with 2h bash...

Fear kiting on a melee is one of the worst fighting experiences this game has to offer. If shield bash is going to make that slightly less annoying, I'd be favoring that if possible.

OP, I'd like to see a parse of these 2 weapons, namely because as you get higher the primary damage bonus with the faster weapon starts to take effect more. Before chardok 2.0 , I would think ebon mace would be damn close to that of an exquisite 2hder in the 50s.

Guess you are probably right... In my case, 1hand is a no go... Sword of pain vs epic makes no sense... Might be different with an eye of the rigtorgn....
