Rapier’s haste on evade perk “Allegro” is broken after the patch, it was possible to cancel the “self stagger” you get for almost whole 2 seconds after using a skill with weapon sheathe and be able to use the 3 seconds of haste we get, now the haste simply cancels as soon as we sheathe the weapon.
To make things worse, even if you don’t sheathe weapon or dodge roll, it still doesn’t give the haste boost, just the buff icon is visible on screen. This pretty much killed off all of my movement speed and play style. Server: Lagado
yeah same here it broke all the fun of playing rapier for me…
the haste just doesn’t work anymore i tried to find some other way to make it work by parrying jumping crouching but none of these did really work there is that 2 second window where the character just walk >_>
when you jump right after using evade the character stagger as if it had made a fall…
This has also happened to the Musket and Bow dodge haste from Hustle and ‘Dodge and Weave’. Sheathing the weapon will remove the haste buff.
Either a clunky bug or a terrible attempt at a stealth nerf (can still maintain haste up time by using ‘Sheath, Dodge, Sheath’ combo) that only ruins quality of life.
I wonder what other buffs are lost when sheathing weapon? There could be things like empower that other weapons lose if they dodge cancel
might be intentional since hatchet has always behaved in a similar way, losing buffs when sheathed. hopefully not though. rapier haste felt great and smooth after a roll cancel
They are removing most unintended animation canceling and effects persisting, so it may indeed be intentional. Many/most weapons lose all the effects already.
If it was intentional, it’s probably the worst stealth nerf that has happened to this weapon. The perk is useless when 2 seconds out of 3 sec haste you get, you’re in a self inflicted slow mode.
If they want to nerf it they should just take away the haste perk. You end up after slow walking with 1 second if haste. Just give us something else. So annoying.
Yes, you can’t sheath to cancel recovery on Evade anymore, also drops buffs. Haste if you’re locked in recovery is pointless. This is pretty huge stealth nerf to rapier mobility if it wasn’t mentioned.
