Maces, morningstars, hammers, mauls, etc. were very brutal, nasty weapons. There was nothing "non killing" about them at all.

They're more defensive than edged weapons, which is usually enough for video games lol. It's far easier not to kill someone with a blunt weapon, than it is to not kill with a sword( /poke = dead:D)

SE seems to want to make RDM choose between things when it comes to melee. Your choice of sub job will give you either higher DPS(NIN) or stronger WS(WAR), and with weapons you get great selection but lesser choice in WS, or poor selection in weapons and good WS.
