Most Common Physical Damage Type - Guild Wars Forums

With Nightstalker insignias being rather on the expensive side (800g each, as I type this...), I figure I might as well go with cheapo insignias for now. That said, which is the most common of the physical damage types - Slashing, Piercing, or Blunt?

Slashing is probably the most common, but piercing is the one you should be worrying about. Rangers and Assassins are often nasty in PVE.

Why not go for Blessed Insignias since you should always be enchanted in PvE any way?

It's more practical although to answer your question I guess Blunt would be the most uncommon and Piercing the most common.

Gabs - Good point (pun intended :P).

Franco - Enchantments get stripped off way too easily and frequently. Plus, at 1100-1400g each, they're a bit on the pricey side for the inconsistant protection they bring)
