Healing is not OP, rapier survivability is too good. With the amount of dodges you can run along with the cooldowns of riposte and fleche being able to be cut so easily.
Have riposte only block half the abilities in the game, you should not be able to riposte a pillar of fire etc.
Reduce cooldown and stam refreshing
Also buff pylon plz. thanks <3
I think the main issue keeping them from nerfing rapier is the fact that only 2 melee weapons in the whole game scale mainly with Dex (Rapier/Spear). Meanwhile Strength has 4 melee weapons scaling primarily with it along with the close range blunderbuss.
Prior to the release of BowPR last patch, Dex was the most neglected class in the game by far, so they probably dont want to make it redundant again. They kinda screwed themselves with Rapier by making it a split stat weapon. The only way they can fix the problem is a full rework of the weapon. If you ignore the weapon escape mechanics and mobility crutch, rapier is by far the worst weapon the game. And they cant just give it a straight damage boost, because then the handful of 300 dex /150 int muskets would literally be dealing unreal damage with their Rapier.
If they just made the weapon full dex scaling it would solve alot of the issues. They could buff its damage so its the same DPS for the musket users who currently run split stat builds, and Dex players would be able to stomach a nerf of the mobility is exchange for some more DPS. Otherwise you would be seeing ONLY spears.
Id say 60% of repostes are dodged now you just need to move quicker.
You can dmg people using fleche.
Not sure what you mean about stamina refresh.
Pylon ticks for 600-900 and is a two shot to kill pylon. I think its in a good place. Its not meant to be a kill ability just a pressure ability.
I mean i would like to say i’m surprised but i’m really not. Whats new here? A lifestaff user wanting one more aimbot in his build.
Isn’t the aimbot in your lifestaff skills not enought? can you please just learn how to aim like everyone else? or do you actually want to be a video game god with no skill involved? Well, we all know the answer to that.
Nerf self healing in order for this game to be about skill.
dont use lifestaff lmao, trying to get the lifestaff/rapier build nerfed.
Nope, nerf healing
dodging riposte is super hard, especially if ur the one in the mittle of an attack when they do it to you.
the cooldowns are still way too quick if you know how to manage them. also in this scenario you can heal yourself to full health between every combo so keep that in mind.
stamina rerfresh: As is rapiers already get like 6 iframes, if you run the right perks and mage ur abilities properly you can instantly refresh ur stam between every combo, its a little too much, more so when talking about using it in pair with lifestaff.
Dont be mean to my pylon 
This conversation is only in pair with lifestaff, although i do think the rapier, mainly riposte by itself is OP, im mainly talking about the weapon as a pair with the full heals a healer can do to themselves.
yeah i would say do not allow you to use it with the lifestaff, or keep it full dex, but even then, people dont use it for the dmg they use it for riposte and evade and fleche. purely evasive purposes.
So nerf the defensive side of rapier and buff the damage side so everyone and their mother stops using a main weapon with rapier for defensive abilities.
Problem solved.
if you have seen rapier spear combo. you know rapier does not need an attack buff lol. that build is solid and only getting better in the next patch
Riposte should work in a cone, lets say 90 degrees and block only lmb/rmb attacks and projectiles. It shouldn’t work on AOE non projectile abilities.
Also Evade shouldn’t restore 20 stam, its too much. Either remove that or change the ability to something else altogether.
After that we can buff rapier’s blood tree a bit and bam, done. Rapier is a weapon again.
