Why hasn't WAR been switched to blunt?

[Hammerhorn]

teams are Pld War Mnk or Drk War Nin , the monk and the Drk bring the int debuff and is a good reason not to pair them imo so giving PLD blunt debuff would further compliment the Pld monk coehesion.

maybe because SE has been thinking next tank class will wield hammer weapon?

maybe

edit: kinda what I would want most for a tank next. considering that the Legion members have been used for some classes already.

I see this mistake a lot. I think you meant 30" blade and 8" cutting surface. Not feet

Lol yes thank you.

Lol yes thank you.

In your defense, a 30' blade or 8' cutting surface would make you the most terrifying warrior of all time though. So, there's that!

I can agree to the argument of the ax bevel and head weight being used for digging in working in the real world. But that's entirely an issue with the wielder. Humans do not have the arm strength to cut through an entire tree or an armored opponent in one swing. FFXIV Warrior swinging animations do not stop halfway, or hit the target and then back out. The attack continues all the way through the target, implying that it is slashing through them. Slashing damage makes perfect sense for the game.

Personally I think it could be interesting if warrior provided but did not benefit from slashing debuff, as in their attacks through sheer force weakened the enemy's defenses wrt attacks from slashing weapons. this could occur through basically "weakening the armor" of the opponent or whatnot. I apologize if this idea has already been put forth.
