*edit* thought you said cls/cr. Anyway, I'd go maul for those larger hits and get turm when you can afford it.

Maul IMO.

Idk why people perfer the maul when pking, i find korasi prods using rapiers as their main weapon to be a lot more frustrating to deal with than the people with a slow maul where i can pull nasty veng combos off of incredibly easily (although it goes both ways). Against range tanks/dharokers/high def pkers the rapier would probably better to break veng nicely with the occasional mid/low hits and keep up the pressure with higher dps, against low def zerkers maul probably would be better due to a lot more consistent high hits and KO potential.

 

Just remember that since the maul is slower and deals higher damage per each individual hit than the rapier, a larger percentage of your damage with a maul will be venged back on you than with a rapier. You should also consider that the maul might be easier to kite with, although a rapier is probably a better primary weapon in a hybrid DM than a rapier, if hybrid fights are your thing.

 

This probably holds even truer for someone without turm or piety, considering you will miss a lot with the maul without peity/turm you're better off with a faster weapon like the rapier.
