The charred mallorn mace is only a better weapon than the gondolinian sword if you don't know how to block with it. Blocking with full gear against a legendary mallorn mace causes you to take only 1 1/2 to 2 damage, and a legendary gondolinian sword has a faster swing speed. It is all about tactics.

Long, hulking, legendary mallorn mace will be kitting. Long, swift, legendary mallorn mace will be up close.

Gondolinian swords will realistically only have the enchantments of legendary, long, and swift. Block the enemy's attacks, then counter. You are almost doing the same amount of damage with a gondolinian sword as a mallorn mace, and by blocking, you close the damage gap quite nicely. And seeing as swords swing faster than maces, you just might get that extra swing in and block, giving you the edge.
