Piercing damage sword

[aurik]

I'd like to see proof that non-joyeuse rapiers are piercing damage. Easy test is to check SA dmg cap on bees vs crawlers in Saruta.

I no longer have the testing stuff, but proved that Mensure Epee is piercing damage when they changed it. It was Slashing when it was added to the game, but then they changed it to piercing.

The easiest way would be to find some skeletons. Even on Ghouls in Gusgen Mines, Joyeuse damage drops to sad on them. Maybe use Banish halfway through fighting a mob to remove the damage penalty. (Though you will probably want to fight something higher than Ghouls, maybe Litches and whatnot in the Necropolis to make sure that you are going well beyond the damage cap.)
