The Rogue's Gallery

I believe the attraction to maces (and swords for that matter, which are still slower than daggers) is that Sinister Strike, Eviscerate, and most of the rogue's other special moves ignore attack speed and just go off right when you hit the button. Also, Sinister Strike damage is only based on the max damage of your weapon, not the dps. This makes swords/maces tend to do more damage while just spamming Sinister Strike (although I still preferred daggers, because you can't Backstab or Ambush without a dagger).

The problem with that is you're still relying upon a slower weapon for the rest of the fights. ;) Though I do see your point and hadn't thought of that. Thanks. :)
