did he even acknowledge the fact that musket/bow can have a 10% movement speed buff with 100% uptime? lol
It’s not about the stun it is about how stuff you get from triggering riposte.
Iframes for a bit
20% CD reduction for all rapier abilities
Invanurabilitiy from any cc for several seconds(main problem if a rapier gets out of a something they shouldn’t it is because of this)
And the chance to stun multiple people for 2.5s
Yes it looks good on paper but in reality, it is a 2sec root which is a high risk high reward ability. If you use it badly you will just give your enemy time to position, if you time it well you can land a stun, IF he didn’t dodge out, if he does you will again just root yourself and give you enemy a free hit.
And ofcourse not going to talk about when you want to use it and its just not working and gets on cd. As I already said, im okay with it if they will just give it a simply on demand stun instead of the riposte’s defensive stun, like the hammer or shield stuns or the spear stuns, but it wouldn’t change anything people would still complain about it.
You just lie and lie and lie. The rapier is the #1 tool to run away and avoid being killed. You have not truly played against any rapier builds if you had no problem pursuing them. How does them using repost every 4 seconds make me inexperienced? Or using evade out of every gravity well I throw. You sir are out of your lane
If it was only good on paper most people wouldn’t be using it as there off hand weapon. Their is only a couple frames from when riposte deactivates to when they can roll away. Also I have heard that those few frames can be cancelled with evade.
Wtf are you talking about
So you cant handle a rapier player… and ripostle CD is 12 seconds… Also you might want to consider to find out a way to not hit ripostle… and dodge it, you will notice a difference

So Spear - hammer - G. Axe stunlock is fine, it even got buffed with an extra root for G. Axe but rapier needed to be nerfed with DOUBLE the cooldowns on ALL abilities from the ONLY usefull tree it has.
Cool

Folks that have stuck with one weapon set and thats it for their lifetime in the game just dont get it.
Yeah players who are quitting when their weapon gets nerfed were always going to quit. I have played 6+ different weapons until this point switching when changes are made I don’t like or when something else feels better. These changes are honestly good, everyone in the comments above acts like you can only use rapier for light armor and that using it with medium for the most unkillable BS ever doesn’t exist. It was just a little too good at kiting and denying damage, players can still do that same combo of flèche, dodge, dodge, evade, dodge, dodge, riposte, (full stam now leaving riposte), dodge, dodge, evade dodge. The only difference is they can’t constantly chain it to kite for ever now.

Actually one can’t block with the Musket.
Or the bow I think.
Agree rapier is a useless weapon now. It was barely viable before. The should have increased it’s damage with this nerf. They also nerfed Bow again. AGS keeps running this game into the ground. Glad I didn’t invest too much Umbral into my rapier.

Yes the Rapier gets away but he can’t do any real damage to you… Rapier Offense just bounces off Heavy Armor. It’s only viable against Light and maybe medium. Now they nerf the defensive capabilities. It will be a dead weapon. I got laughed at using it in PvE.

It’s not that bad. A while back right after they added the root to the g well a light healer with rapier vs 2 med ga/wh was able to kite us for a while with out the ls heals unless they got caught in the intial g well. It also doesn’t really do anything about how hosted it’s abilities are.
its still ok for kiting since you dont need rotation for this.
and light armour has bigger dodge.
but for bow its quite bad if light armour.
Hmm lets see here a ability that has a 16 second cooldown that has a literal stun of 2s and a invulnerability of 1s witch is a literal as its description suggest COUNTER is so OP, and even if not used or its interrupted it will completely lock down to cooldown without even activating.
On a weapon witch has literally ZERO tracing or path seeking making it the most hardest weapon in the whole freaking game to hit in melee.
Look man objectively speaking anybody who used rapier as there main know that its the worse weapon in the game, and its existent is only relevant to long range spammer looking for weapon swap distancing, because there gonna get shredded to bits in a instant if they don’t have distancing.
The complete reason nerfying rapier even more the, very defective repose is just completely selfish, self-bias, and a complete disrespect and mud to the face when the nerf never considered the rapier Mainer who actually suffer by using this weapon because its so precise and full player skill dependent unlike literally any other weapon in the game.
complaining about a duel weapon just because it effective to be a literal dueling weapon and a duel skill like repose witch is decent at dueling just, and none the less on a weapon that is the weapon that relies the most of the players skill or intellect to even deal half damage as a 0iq hammer heavy attack spammer with grit passive on strength max passive on ALLLLLLLL attacks.
Its just unreasonable, disrespectful, and inconsiderate to people who suffer trying to main this weapon and try to enjoy it, instead of spamming heavy attack blindly on any other weapon with zero iq and taping abilities on random
These left click spammers with little to worry if it fails, if your stun staggered all ability are given back, but on rapier the ability you use if your stun or stagger locks to cooldown.
Punishing players who correctly and precisely use a high skill ceiling weapon and those who use it correctly is a great turn off. Those who panic and spam riposte and evade can be easily punished. Did I mention you can bug their riposte out towards the end of the animation so they’re screen freaks out on their end and they’re stunlocked standing still like an idiot for 2 seconds? Oh yeah the stun almost never works because anybody can dodge it since there is 2 slow animations before the stun even hits .Easily abusable. You incorrectly time a stun or root with evade or riposte, you’re basically dead. Rapier is a high risk low reward kind of weapon now even for those who spent hours mastering its kit. There’s no separation anymore between the good and bad rapier users because frankly the weapon loss its vitality.
