I was thinking about starting again using a mace only fighter...and use "The mauler" with diamond's eyes...hence I only have to invest in mace. He is definitely more efficient...but is he more powerful than your typical sword/DE fighter?
It depends on your party, and on your playing style.

The Mauler itself is IMO not as good as Fang (high ko or paralyze chance, but not critical chance). But its bonus to mace&flail granted me always an extra attack or swing with Diamond eyes, and often more primary attacks than with a sword (much easier to get the skill to 100+).

If you reload drops and chests, you'll have many excellent swords (excalibur, light sword, marumasa blade). Even with several sword lovers in the party (samurai, rogue), you'll have a great sword for your fighter. Then a sword fighter is definately more powerful.

IMO mauler is perfect for Lord, due to his mace&flail bonus.
For a fighter, i'll take sword, unless you also have a rogue or samurai.

Also how hard is it to find the mauler?
Ferro sells it. For me, he had it every game at my first visit.
