In truth blunt weapons are the best for fighting anyone with armor. But mail is drapped over a man, this allows them bunch up and catch a thrust, this will stop the balde from actully getting thru into an man, but the energy will still transfer through, that's why people wear padding underneath.

Plate armor is imperviosu to weapons like swords and spears, so yes blunt force weapons are palte armors weakness but only becasue it's the only thing that will work on it. If a weapon will go through plate it will go through mail or lammelar. Plate's only draw back is it's highly inflexable.
