Also, I think it went with slashing less for the fact that there were already 2 piercing dps, as they fact that there were 0 slashing dps.

The mnk weapon thing.... yeah. You're right on that call, and SE has even commented on this in the past, saying they'll try to get back into the blunt aesthetic.

As far as mcn, ignoring resistance decreasers, mnk still has way more utility than drg, and if we're talking about a situation where people are going to be super picky about what jobs they bring, odds are, they are NOT bringing both a brd and a mcn, so basically moot point there. And as I said before, unlike NIN, from a lore, and strategic standpoint, while various forms of blunt ammunition exist, primarily reserved for non lethal suppression, fighting armored opponents with blunt bullets makes, 0 sense. Like, not any sense in the slightest. I would actually go as far as to say, that if they designed mcn to use blunt bullets, it would, in fact, be stupid. And I'm sure the game designers see that too.
