I've been thinking about a Mace & Shield. When unsheathed, it would rest on your shoulder. It would be similar to the Sword & Shield but it would be slower, more powerful, deal impact damage and have altered combos. And just like the Hunting Horn can perform an immediate Superpound, the Mace would have an attack where the hunter grips it tightly and performs an immediate golf swing. And maybe, just to make it the opposite of the Sword & Shield, the Mace's shield could have a sharp edge, so that while the Sword deals Cutting damage and its shield deals impact damage, the Mace deals Impact damage and its shield deals cutting damage.
