IMHO, Trapping is not your best choice if you're not one of the giant-sized races. The subset of maces that are very heavy that are also generally good maces and are also not two handed seems too small to me.

That being said it probably would work decently with the pole spec.

You sure can't. As far as I know there isn't one anymore, unique pieces of gear notwithstanding.

Shield of waves?
