When Light Amor Rapier/VG Is Too Good

Kite for days, CC for days, big burst damage, and not even full Int or have the VG perks.

it’s a great dueling build & looks very fun, but it seems difficult for you to get a kills with that & not very much burst damage, as it depends on landing rapier combos in an oblivion? i skipped around the video and mostly saw you chipping away at large groups.

Do you end up taking this build to war? (My guess is not? If so do you change it up?)

Also have you considered void blade? (or did i skip over you using that…)

EDIT:
sorry not trying to sound aggro or disapproving. i’ve been seeing so much ig/vg lately & it’s nice to see something different. and i’m a rapier user too so i appreciate the rapier plays. thank you for sharing the video

I’d say it’s more of a kite build than 1v1. I lose to Vg/Ice or Fire/Ice a lot if I get caught with Ice root.

It doesn’t have big AoE burst. The build relies on people chasing you and getting riposted. I can usually get 1 kill at a time, but that group was too many and had too many CCs for me to effectively land a kill. I did manage to get them low several times though.

This build can actually do way more burst than the OP is providing if you just stack intel to high hell and only have 100 con,

It can combo out any light build if you can them in a root with the VG alone

A light armor user that manages to get caught in a hard cc without riposte will die to any build, as they should.

As a light armour user the only cc that kills me is the VG root and that’s if I don’t have riposte indeed, stuns are way less bad than roots

Yea I purposely used those stats because I’m a Dex main and I like having 150 Dex lol.

and some morans still ask for dimnishing returns on stuns while you 1v3 vs 3 melee ez pz.

GOD this game balance is trash.

They remove stagger system and since then everything is falling apart. GJ AGS. Keep listening crying babies that dont know gow to play.

It would be the same with stagger, it’s not like you’d get a second hit due to the stagger

The most oppresive thing is aoe riposte stun with disgustingly low CD.

You don’t have to get kills in OPR with that build. The fact that he distracted that many players that long was enough to win the game for his team.

Thank you for realizing the most obvious strength of the setup lol!

Even if I didn’t get a single kill, I managed to get 8+ people to chase me. You could literally see the 3 points going from half red to full blue towards the end of the clip :sweat_smile:
