dont forget the many different kind of weapons and weaponclasses.there r daggers ,staffs ,whips ,crossbows ,halberds ,sabers and even there r short daggers ,long daggers ,double axes with a hammer head ,ninetails ,morningstars shuriken ,nunchukus ,throwing axes and knives and many many more all with different dammage types and usage.perhaps gloves for fighting or knuckledusters,shields for bashing(with spikes too?).dunno what i missed but its quite more than i can imagine or post here. XD. most of this weapons have more than one way to hurt a monster.so ull be able to get exp in some of the skills but only they way u hurt ur enemy.if u hit an oponent with an armor in his uncovered parts like his genitals for example and can only make some little scrapes ull get slash exp but if u bash him on his armor ull get bash exp.thats what i suggest
