It seems that Impact may be the least useful of the physical damage types. Once you brind shields down Puncture and Slash are going to get damage bonuses, and most (not all) enemies have larger health pools than shield pools. Unless you were going up against a boss or fighting with a dozen Shield Drones around, it feels more efficient to equip Electric or Magnetic damage on a slashing or puncture weapon and dril the shields down through weight of fire. It makes more sense to focus the drones down first since they're so much weaker than the troops they support.

Corpus even have a 0x multiplier for headshot against the damage type, making body shots the only way of killing them quickly, and without armor slash damage makes a mocker of them.
