Hello!
So I’ve been playing rapier as a close range weapon like you know… actual fighting rather than riposte and run away.
I’m running medium armor and try to play like a bruiser but with rapier and i got more and more the feeling that the rapier does not offer anything but pure damage… No slows, one stun and rend (which not always is reliable), no weakens, no empowers of fortifies like most of melee weapons and it feels like rapier stands out behind every other melee weapon… damn it does not even have half charged heavy attack!
Any rapier fighters? Can i get any tips to have efficent melee weapon, some weapon perks or smth? Or rapier is just that pure damage weapon with no fancies (that would ocassionally help in those 1v1)
Hi. Yes.
I play medium rapier.
You need ice gauntlet with ice shower and ice storm and then the one ability that turns you into a popsicle. Your build is going to be 200 dex, 150 int and 150 con, 5 resil, sundering riposte, omnidirectional evade and obviously fleche.
Basically you just run at people and slow them and CC them with ice gauntlet and if they fight back you riposte them and make them regret it. You also have like six dodges with a hearty amulet and if you run out of stamina well no big deal get the champions amulet for another three free dodges. Still in danger of dieing? Turn yourself into a popsicle and wait until you have stamina again. If you fight someone inside of your ice shower or ice storm you do insane ice damage to them. Honestly use all the champions jewelry its great for this build and the rapier you get from the pvp track is god tier.
Besides the slows that IG gives you, you can use fleche to chase. After brimstone update comes out they’re nerfing light armor so dudes can’t just roll twice and walk away from you if you already hit them. Only IG perk you need is unending thaw.
