@Chris War axes are broken. They should drain stamina as a mace, but do not. Please fix this simple issue. Thanks.
War Axes should absolutely drain stamina. That is the whole point of macing weapons. Please consider this in a patch down the road.
Maces The bonus for damaging armor and lowering stamina will now be restricted to the following mace weapons: Mace War Mace War Hammer War Axe Hammer Pick Club Maul Wands, staves, and smith hammers will not damage armor or reduce stamina. Publish 5 - April 27, 2000 aka UO Ren publish Sure go ahead and add stamina drain to war axes but remove it as well as armor destruction from q-staff, black staff, and gnarled staff.
War Axes were one of my main weapons I used back in this era because it would wreck the hell out of people's stamina (preventing them from running) and destroyed their armor.
Funny part is Wands drain stamina and break armor. My macroer died cause his plate armor after 2 hrs.
