Well, the best mace I know about in the game is the Diamond Eyes but what you -really- want to build up that mace/flail skill for is the lovely Vampire Chain that Ferro makes. It's definitely worth the effort of putting up with a bullwhip or some such to be able to use that in the later portions of the game.

As for the Beastslayer, I have to agree that it is pretty useless. The only other decent axe I know of in the game is the Plague Axe which can be found in one of the Retro Dungeons (can't recall if it's N or Mtn Wilderness one). It does good damage and has some nasty side-effects for your opponents but I don't think it's worth building up the axe skill just for it.

Of course, someone could go in and edit the axes' powers/effects using ObverseReaction's SLFEditor if they really wanted a nice axe to play with for, say, a dwarf fighter? [img]smile.gif[/img]
