No single-handed Blunt Weapons for the upcoming update?

[Quil Boar]

I know everyone is hyped for Mistlands and I for one am too, but I main blunt weapons, especially the single-handed ones like Porcupine and Frostnir. Just sad to see the leaks where it's just one big warhammer. Anyone feel bad about this too?

Why do you "main" a certain weapon type?

Yeah, i thought that we will get new tier of ore like black metal so we could smith every weapon like from other ores, but no... I wonder why we didn't get new ore if all other biomes have one :| ofcourse except meadows, but it's a starting biome so it's understandable.

Well because all other biomes have one. They wanted to do something different this time.

Is there a problem with maining? I main them because they are my preference in combat.

They already have - magic staffs, annoying mist. They could at least leave something for miners/blacksmiths, and i'm not talking about carapace armor because it's more like fenrir/abomination type, and it's incredibly awful compared to padded set.

Not what I mean. It's been metal leather repeat for four biomes.

Yeah carapace armor is iron set with a few teaks, basically it feels worse than padded or wolf. I, too, wanted a new ore type or atleast an alternate source for Iron.
And more weapons in general (no staves).

between getting a new sledge, and the fact that frostner and porcupine were already so good, its not too surprising that one handed clubs are "taking a biome off."

frostner is still the only weapon that does 3 damage types, unless you count ice or fire arrows on draugr fang (pierce, ice/fire/ poison). definitely the only melee weapon.

porcupine is still the only weapon that does both blunt and pierce (except maybe stagbreaker? which has some minimal pierce).

these weapons can still occupy useful niches, even though they will not be the top of the raw damage scale.

also, lower weapons have lower stamina costs.

The new Mistwalker Sword is triple damage too (once upgraded), with Slash, Frost and Spirit. But tbf, Spirit has only very niche use as damage type since almost everything is immune to it anyway.
While the one handed Blunt weapon meta has been somewhat subverted this update, one thing to keep in mind is that most of the new gear, at least at current achievable upgrade levels, is more of a sidegrade.
What makes them shine in the Mistlands is that Seeker's are resistant to all physical damage (Blunt, Slash and Pierce), and some of the new weapons being elemental hybrids.
Outside of that though, they barely deal more damage (<10) elsewhere, at higher stamina costs.
Frostner is actually pretty good in Mistlands, sporting still the highest elemental weapon Damage (excluding the new magic, esp. op Fire Staff).

Er, there is an alternate source for iron. Quite a lot of iron, really. Try hitting everything with a pick and you'll find it.

Frostner and Porcupine can carry you through mistlands just fine. They still pack a wallop and when combined with the parries from the new shields you'll crush those seeker soldiers.
