To the lone tenno saying that impact is bad

Maybe you should check out damage 2.0 and compare slash v. impact damage against the factions. Slash gets a couple of good buffs and 1 really good buff against infested, but gets significant debuffs against armor. Impact has only a few good buffs, and a few minor debuffs, but it's pretty average across the board. And since Impact weapons have access to Primed Heavy Trauma, it gives them an edge over their slash or puncture counterparts.
