Quality PUP Check-In

2) The harlequin frame and stormwaker frame weapon attributes will be changed from hand-to-hand to blunt.: Um, isn't h2h already considered blunt damage? Do they mean these automatons will be treated as if they are using a one handed club?

Hand-to-Hand falls into a special category of blunt damage. When mobs are -25% weak to blunt damage, they are only -12.5% weak to "hand-to-hand (Blunt)" damage. This feature has been around since the oldest days. Since automatons only attack once per turn, it's only fair to switch them over to the "better" version.

I'm not sure if there's any difference in blunt/hand-to-hand(blunt) than that one.


EDIT: Just cross-checked and the above is true. The other forms of blunt [other weapons, blue mage spells, avatars] will get the full +25% modifier against skellies and jars (for example) and h2h users get +12.5%. For mobs that are resistant, these two damage types are treated with equal penalty.
