    people still want more slashing jobs? this game needs more Blunt classes currently monk is the only class who uses blunt but then you have dragoon with piercing and you have 2 ranged classes who use piercing which makes dragoon a very strong class since it buffs the dps of the other 2 ranged classes and still having strong dmg party buffs while monk brings pretty much nothing other than a mantra and int reduction when you can still have a DRK giving you that so what SE needs to do is either rework the slashing/blunt/piercing mechanics and make each class buffs its own damage only/working only on melees or add more blunt classes and adding more slashing jobs will just buff warriors more when they are already strong

    Technically, casters use blunt weapons too.

    Casters use magic spells and don't use their weapons to hit the boss and their magic spells doesn't get increased just because they have a blunt weapon if you want increased damage your better off getting a bard instead

    yes it wouldn't make sense and I hope they just delete parry stat from the game I see healers complaining they don't get any accuracy from their gear well guess what its better than having Parry on your gear the most useless stat in the game id rather meld some accuracy than having to deal with my gear getting parry.

    You say Monk is the only class that uses the blunt mechanic and I'm saying that is not true, even if said casters never use their weapons as their main means of attack
