    It's also possible, imo, that MCH will be able to provide the debuff itself, whatever it is.

Most games with these three damage types use bludgeoning for the third. It's pretty odd that they chose blunt, really.
    I don't really get that connotation.
    Hammer, mace, cudgels are blunt weapons.
    I don't think you need to call it bludgeoning to connote an intent to harm.
    There's Blunt force Trauma and Injuries which connote that.


    While monks use fist weapons, I think their damage type simply lies in them using their body for the damage and the weapons just compliment that.

    MNK is a special case, where I don't think the damage type needs to match the weapon as much as the nature of the job itself.
    Any type of kicks can obviously be counted as Blunt too. So the damage type accounts for the weapon not being at the core of their type of attacking.
