57-63 body armor (depending on what I'm wearing), 53 hit points. Demento 1-shots me to the torso all the time with his +3 Claymore (46 cut). People I've never even heard of 1-shot me with unloomed 2h/pole great axes frequently.
Meanwhile, I survive 3 hits from steel picks/becs/warhammers etc all the time. High cut damage is so damn powerful now, especially with high PS+high WPF+held strike+speed bonus, why would anyone bother with a pierce/blunt weapon?
