Blunt Weapons as options for exisiting DoW

[Coatl]

There was one MMO I played where Templar Knights (which would be this game's Paladin) could use Greatswords, swords, and Maces. Guess which one 99% of them used though? Maces all the time because all the other weapons were not worth using. If a Monk could use a slashing or piercing weapon they would never touch their blunt weapons again. If a Machinist had the choice of using guns that dealt blunt damage no good MCH would pick it over one that did piercing damage. And if they added clubs to the warrior class that dealt blunt damage that would also be useless.

It's sooooo hard to balance. Classes are hard to balance, let alone trying to balance out different weapons for one class.

My suggestion is that weapons change be cosmetic only. It seems I was not clear.
