Does a minimum power katar high swing slash or pierce??

Question Title: Does a minimum power katar high swing slash or pierce??
Category: Combat
Question: Howdy. I haven't seen this question before, but it is something I've been wondering for a long time.

For katars (UA weapon doing pierce/slash), at min power/max speed for low attacks, it does pierce damage according to text messages. High attacks at min power, it reads as doing slash.

Is this true? Does a katar attack at low power and high elevation do slash? The animation looks like it does slash, but no one I have asked really knows.

This is useful to know for things like shadows and high level drudges (neckode vs katar use for instance).

Thanks, and keep up the great game!

Answer: Yes, it does appear to slash. I don't know if this is on purpose or not. I will add it to the bug database, and if it is a bug, it'll get fixed.
