It's also useful if you're playing some class like a ranger/cleric. It means you can cut strength down to a minimum and transfer the stat points to wisdom. AFAIR the mace cost less than 3000gp and can be picked up as soon as you clear the Copper Coronet. Your ranger/cleric is then dishing out a quite acceptable level of damage and has lots of lovely bonus spells.
Eventually you are going to want a much better off-hand weapon, but by then you'll have other strength enhancing items to pick from. However, nothing will increase your wisdom to give you the bonus spells. Similar logic applies to a fighter/mage, except here I forfeit strength for 18 intelligence to get level 9 spells.
