I just destroyed the frost wildlands boss with three attacks from one lvl 10 champion and that had a weapon with Maul.
Seconded. It's a little ridiculous. I've seen it just keep on going for 5+ hits in a row. The accuracy drop off needs to be faster.
Maul is crazy. It should be limited to a second attack, or even just add a negative modifier to the opponents next attack or defence, or something like that. There is too much damage flying around from too many crazy abilities.
I do enjoy having it, though 
Some games with similar spells allow an enemy counterattack between each swing.
I agree, maul in its current state is over the top. Either limiting the amount of attacks to 3 or ladd a negative modifier with each extra attack should fix this.
Should be limited to just one or at most two extra attacks, with second attack coming at 50% accuracy and the third attack at 25% accuracy. Otherwise there is absolutely no point in using any special abilities on the champion as they don't trigger Maul.
Concur, I rolled through an entire map with a weapon giving Maul, it obsoleted all other melee special abilities (and enemy troops, and...)
There's worse. The brutal scimitar I've looted by killing an unrecruited fallen champion. +27 damage, +50% Str. bonus. I didn't even have to fight something powerful to get it.
Granted though, Maul is a bit overpowered.
Yeah, Maul needs to be toned down quite a bit. A bear - a BEAR - tore through my army thanks to Maul.
Yeah agreed maul is way overpowered but my god I loved it when I found a weapon that had that ability. I was tearing through old gods like they were made out of butter.
It might not be a bad idea to have two versions: Lesser Maul & Greater Maul, so that low level monsters/characters can still be somewhat badass but not overpowering.
tbh there is no way this can be balanced
why on earth there should be something giving x extra attacks? even if there is a chance to miss still there would be a chance to attack n times..
nonsense
also there is already one cool skill for assassins like allowin double attack, thats already OP imo and its just 2 and its a skill you cant use always
really no way a propriety of a weapon allow the normal attack to multiply, it makes no sense
I am okay with bears having it because giants bears really would rip through an army; however, doesn't make sense for a weapon to have maul.
It is a rather neat ability and I like the random chance if you can keep hitting with it.
Rather than nerfing it, I'd rather leave it as is and develop ways of countering it. Such as a successful counterattack interrupting Maul. It is okay if some monsters can be devestated with luck. It is also going up against Bears in close combat fearful even with a strong champion, which is something I like. There just need to be tactical ways you can plan on countering it.
