    Damage Types

    Alright I tried to figure it out myself but simply cant.

    Where, in the name of god, do I see what job/skill uses which sort of damage type? I mean, its logical to assume that a Lancer uses piercing attacks, but why isnt it stated anywhere whether an ability is

    -piecing
    -slashing
    -blunt

    Am I just supposed to assume what sort of damage every single class deals? Or am I simply too blind to figure it out? Thanks in advance. This really drives me crazy.

    Spears and Bows are always Piercing and are boosted by the DRG's Disembowel debuff. Even using a cross-class skill like Marauder's Fracture. Same stipulation applies for the below.

    Axes and Swords are always Slashing. As is Ifrit's autoattack. Boosted by WAR's Storm's Eye debuff.

    Fists and presumably all mage weapons (book staff cane) are always Blunt. Ifrit's abilities are Blunt, and Titan's autoattack and abilites are Blunt. Boosted by MNK's Dragon Kick Debuff.

    All offensive spells from WHM, BLM, SMN, SCH, Garuda, and Garuda/Titan/Ifrit's Enkindle are all magical. Boosted by BRD's Foe Requiem.

    Is it true that ifrit/titan egis auto attack deal slashing/piercing/blunt/dmg. I am not really sure about this at all, as a lot of people are saying that this is true but I am not 100% sure about this.

    Tested myself a month ago with a friend. Only Ifrit's autoattack is slashing. All other moves by him and Titan are blunt, except for their Magic enkindles.

    Doesn't take a parser, just takes eyes.

    Thanks mate as I wasn't to sure about this. I knew that it seemed highly unlikely that their attacks deal all three dmg types in on hit lol as that would make them OP.
