Demon slaying Mace?

Demon slaying Mace?

Hi all. I currently am playing a Barb and am planning to use one weapon slot for two single handed weapons, both of which are Mace class and therefore effective against Undead.

In the other, I am looking for a two-handed weapon (or, failing that, two single-handed ones) preferably Mace class (because i will probs be putting points into Mace Mastery) which will do enhanced damage to demon, plus three sockets if that is possible.

I have read this: http://diablo2.diablowiki.net/Sockets and read about how Swords can be given sockets plus magical properties with the formula there, but ideally I am looking for a Mace class weapon...

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

EDIT: Huh. Perhaps I should instead just go for Swords?

I can't think of any weapons off the top of my head, but have a look at Laying of Hands for gloves. They're nice gloves for melee, and have a great boost to your demon-damage.

High damage Mace class weapon: Ribcracker.

You find those items the same way you find anything else in the game. If you are on bnet, it shouldn't be too hard to trade few pgems for an IK maul (you might even get a free one). LoH is pretty cheap too, a few gems or free. The ribby is probably a little bit more expensive; probably 10 to 20 pgems. If you're playing SP, head over to the SPTF, but read all of the rules first.

For prices, ask in the trade values forum and specify your realm/ladder/(soft/hard)core.

Hell Meph drops both of them all the time. I stopped picking them up once I had two pairs of LoH gloves and two IK mauls with 40% CB. Both can be traded for pgems.
