Its quite costly for the average player
But my fireclaw damage will be: 7k-8k

There's essentially already a thread on this and if it's not on the front page, it's damn close.

Maul takes too much time to charge up, won't be useful most of the time. Unless of course you're dueling zealots or wolves etc. Even then, zealots are tough to hit because of high defense, want to kill them as fast as possible.

Yea, we discovered that a maul pvp hybrid is not really viable

With a Caddy, you should go more for a WB/FC/HoW build. Your caddy could be socketed differently, 3 ED/IAS jewels and Shael. Switch the armor to Stone for free synergy, and spend those points elsewhere. I said most of this in the other thread. I wouldn't do Maul/FC without a Phase and a lot of fine/vitas to boost your damage.

agreed, vic. With the best gear, it is indeed viable, but darned expensive. I prefer a phase blade as well, but I have seen a caddy do 5k damage with a charged maul, so it can be pretty nasty. good luck!
