Well since theire isn't a chop damage. Which is a combo of splitting and.blunt damage....we generalize with cut.
Maybe devs should consider adding chop....it would completly rebalqnce weapons vrs armor. Making cut weapons nearly useless against armor. And chop effectivish against armor, more or less as it is now. How'd ya katana folks like to keep that cut tag, since it was designed to cut not chop.
