Dumbest weapon design ever!
You realize they weigh about 8 lbs right!??
How does the wielder manage to riposte arrows and war hammers AT THE SAME TIME?
Why do they get an endless evade where 5 people with 5 different weapons can’t damage them? Wanna make it an evasive weapon, fine. BUT THEN THEY TURN AROUND AND 2 SHOT BRUISERS!
its garbage like this that is the reason why you lost all of your players
First and foremost, I’m not a fan of the rapier. Like at all. Buuuut

We have an axe that can tear a hole in space & time
A hatchet that can make you literally immortal
A hammer that can produce visible kinetic energy
A sword that can make you hover like a helicopter
A spear that can make a tornado
A musket with Iron sight able to zoom
A bow making 1 arrow turn into 50 in radius
A Blunderbuss that doubles for an air cannon
A Stick that can light on fire
A glove that makes weather changes out of thin air
A glove that can make a halo sword
A stick that is a walking hospital
I’m here to remind you that New world is in a:
Well you see rapier are non str defensive wepon , wats all wat we have to avoid dmg ;D maybe its to much def wepon, but if you plan nerfing rapier, you need nerf str wepons too.
Just hit that riposte then dodge the stun and keep hitting the guy 
Usually right after riposte people fletch so then you root his fletch and you see the panic in their eyes 
The big text really sold it.
Agree Rapier defensive tree is a HUGE problem in combat.
The majority of players are using a rapier as a secondary weapon to escape combat and deaths when they can’t kill people with the primary weapon they use.
Big oversight by AGS with this PTR they could have fixed this round and made their PvP game more competitive instead of people using Rapier to escape combat and deaths.
Something is telling me, your not gona be exactly leading bruiser of the leaderboards.
Heres two posts ive made. Bursers weakness is ranged and rapier for sure. But you also need to consider we get owned by ig, hatch, other muskets, bows, sns.
For a brief moment in time you could evasion tank with it like ninja in ffxi.
The only meaningful nerf that rapier ever got was that persistent damage cannot be riposted.
Everything else is inconsequential.
Riposte stun - don’t care. Nice if it hits, there are benefits if it doesn’t and you should be using it when the enemy uses a skill that they can’t cancel out of anyway.
Evade - Literally don’t care. Because of one of it’s passives, it’s CD could be 5000 seconds and you’d still get it back in 4 light attacks hits. Or 3 light attacks if two of them crit.
I started using rapier in pvp for the first time yesterday (lvl 19 rapier currently) literally destroyed people. Safest I’ve ever felt as a melee. I even reworked my hatchet to full throwing because I didn’t feel like I needed defy death. Slotted nothing but emeralds and some opals. Weapon is busted.
Woot! More people getting beat up and waving the “NERF THEM ALL” flag lol.
Ijs I use rapier/spear now and uh…rapier fucks.
It does feel like a violation sometimes
