As of 24w18a, the mace's attack speed is 0.5. This attack speed is just slightly too slow to do charged attacks when chaining Wind Burst smash attacks with Wind Burst regardless of enchantment level (this is most apparent by observing that critical hits do not activate). If MC-270160 is fixed, Wind Burst smash attacks will become impossible to chain together due to being unable to reach at least 84.8% charge due to the mace's 0.5 attack speed.
By changing the mace's attack speed to percisely 0.7, Wind Burst smash attacks become able to be chained together with charged attacks with Wind Burst regardless of enchantment level. 0.7 is still a very slow speed that reflects the mace's design while not causing issues with Wind Burst.

Added attachment that showcases how at percisely 0.8 attack speed, wind burst smash attacks are able to be performed on charged attacks.
Alternatively, if the launch strength of Wind Burst 3 was increased just a bit, then 0.7 speed could be implemented rather than 0.8, keeping the mace as the definitive slowest melee in the game, rather than tying with wooden/stone axes at 0.8 speed.
I see no problem with it tying with wooden & stone axe attack speeds. It'd still be very slow, fitting well with the weapon's heavy nature. There's no reason for it to have an attack speed of 0.5, especially when it's incompatible with wind burst, and changing it to 0.8 would be a minor sacrifice, and the mace would still be one of the slowest weapons in the game.
Can you update the description?
still not fixed in 1.21 pre-1 with wind burst I
Updated to clarify that it effects Wind Burst 1, and that 0.7 attack speed would fix this issue.
@[Mod] Avoma please remove your attachment as it is no longer accurate to the report.
Why is this issue marked as fixed? it still affects 1.21 Pre-Release 1 when using Wind Burst I. Requesting resolution review.
0.65 is also a viable option for attack speed
Created new report to focus on Wind Burst 1 issues: MC-272819

I can confirm this behavior. Like you mentioned, if MC-270160 is fixed, it will make the wind burst enchantment practically redundant since you won't be able to perform smash attacks in succession anymore. I tried to explain this the best that I could in this video that I've attached.
