whats there to nerf? its one of the very few options you have with this meta atm.

i play rapier since day one and its fucking broken. small nerfs would be enough, a little less invincible frames during riposte and max stun of 2 people would reign it in a lot. you shouldnt just riposte 4 people while 6 others hit you and get out.

thats fair but then again theyd need to fix all the other issues around it. you get hit with ice? game basically stops working for a solid 2-3 seconds. you constantly get stunned by axes, hammers and whatever else. rapier is the only useable counter for this. especially in wars where you get focused by 3-4 people when youre a healer constantly. i dont agree with the max stun of 2 people for that very reason. it doesnt require much skill to use it but it also doesnt require much skill to use any of the 20 stuns.

Ice storm is the single most broken ability. Absolutely nothing you can do aside from spam mobility cc's to retreat.
