referring to the mountain trolls outside Droks, since the 2 attack skills they use are Mighty Blow and Disrupting Chop, a hammer and axe skill, respectively. generally, mostly all hammers have blunt damage, and most all axes have slashing damage. is this even related to the trolls. if so, do they just use both types of damage? (blunt and slashing). wanting to know for what type of shield i want for them. got an ad out currently for just a shield with plus armor vs trolls, since i've seen a few of them drop too. but in case i cant find a good one, i was wondering which green shield to get, since they now come with +10 AL vs blunt dmg and +10 AL vs slashing dmg. my Malinons shield works great now, but ya know, wanna move on up a lil bit. ;-)

Physical.

I really don't know how to find the answer to this question but let's take a look at what we've got:

I poked around on the Wiki and bit and didn't find anything specifcally stating that the Shiverpeak trolls have a certain type of damage. I guess, assuming that they do both a hammer and axe attack would lead you to believe they posses *both* types of damage; however I don't agree with that general assumption.

Attack skills =/= Weapon damage type. Just check out the skill discription for both skills they use. They dont' specify that the skill itself has that type of damage ie. using a axe would give you slashing damage but Disrupting Chop itself is not a "slashing damage/interupt" skill, unless of course you have a 'slashing' type axe equipped.

So, save yourself time and a little gold - use what works. Added defense/physical damage reduciton and profit.
