Cut, Blunt, and Pierce; which is better in game, not just on paper?

[Thryn]

45+ cut damage. Lots of variety,fun and that awkward boner when you onehit people (Especially with Mighty Persian Battle Axe's 52c)

I saw some guy with an axe a few days ago run through a pack of enemies upswinging. He killed like 5 and the rest ran off; he came out unscathed.

I laughed my ass off b/c it looked like pacman went in there and ate some nerds

Yeah cut is pretty beastly, except against plate people.

[Gravoth_iii]

Cut, because better weapons.

I voted for pierce because it's feels like it's the most consistently lethal damage type.  My favorite weapons are the multi-damage type weapons though:

I really dig the 1h axes that do cut/pierce and the military hammer with blunt/pierce.
Weapons that have stab pierce and swing blunt/cut (most swords/spears)
In general I use pierce to open tincans, blunt weapons just don't feel versatile enough.

I'll take any weapon since I run absurdly high PS builds with no IF. 33 cut seems pretty shitty, right? With 9, soon to be 10 PS and 103 speed coming at your face, nah. It'll kill any platemy old friend in 3-4 hits if I get 'em good.

Why choose one type when you can have both of them? Use swords. Slash and pierce as you see fit.

or use a poleaxe and get all three

Not sure what all this cut, pirce blunt stuff is but Abdulla hits things and they die, that is all I know.

I am a fan of weapons that have cut swings but a very strong pierce stab. Stab-oriented 1H, spears, poleaxes. Blunt weapons are a lot of fun because knockdowns give you a cheap win 1v1 and cause chaos in team fights. The loss of speed and reach keeps them from being my favorite though.

Pierce is my favourite, because Morningstar, bitches.

No seriously, pierce is good because if you get cut (except abdulla great o mighty) your hits will only tickle tincans , then they will itch you. Or If you get a blunt weapon, a ninja(a skilled one) will come and kill you before you can even swing,and tell you what you wont knockdown anyone after the latest patch, so If you go with pierce, you will have enough damage to open tincans, and significant speed against fast guys, also pierce glances less than the other two , from what I see.

I like blunt.  Not because it's the most deadly, and not because of knockdown (it's too rare to make a difference most times).

I just like the thunk.  I love the sound of blunt-on-head trauma.

My favorite is the crushthrough sound. Thunk-thunk-thunk-thunk-thunk-thunk.
