What are the maces abilities? Anyone know?

I think it would have the same abilities as a sword. just a different aesthetic. you would be able to level up one-handed skill line with it.

Its basically just a sword huh? Is it any slower? Any more damage like in skyrim?

Ummmmm

ESO Melee Weapon Skill Lines

Are you using it dual wield or a big two hander or with a shield? It'll share the skills that any other dual wield or two hander or one hand and shield would use.....

I saw more than a few people using 'em this weekend.

From what I recall Mace is the same in terms of abilities as dagger, 1 hand sword, and 1 hand axe. Additionally, they all can be dual wield in any combination.

 

EDIT:

One ability in the dual-wield line adjusts it's effect based on the weapons wielded, everything else is the same regardless:

Twin Blade and Blunt – While dual wielding, axes have a chance to inflict a bleed damage over time effect, maces deal a percentage of bonus damage against heavily armored targets, swords deal a flat percentage more damage, and daggers have increased critical strike chance.

Baiscally for the twohand or dual wield line maces can allow you to penetrate/reduce armor.

Ahh ok.

Yep it falls under one/two handed weapons. The speed and damage varies between different types of one/two handed weapons.

Confirmed, I used a mace and it fell under the 1 handed weapon and shield category as far as skills went.  And it was a powerful weapon as well, doing more damage than the sword I was able to get by that time.

I used it, and I found it to be extremely clunky. I found melee combat in general to be clunky. I enjoyed ranged combat intensely, but they really need to polish up their melee combat between now and launch.
