Review: the weapon of choice for Penetrated Armor proc, the most important attributes of a rapier are its proc chance and duration, as well as parry, than followed by the remaining values. Rapier's primary function is to proc the PA, to weaken bosses and higher legendaries; note that PA will be wasted on regular mobs on low-normal difficulty. They are usually used offhand (dual wielding, offhand weapons receive parry bonus, too!) and the parry attribute is useful against regular mobs. Rapiers with three high primary attributes are considered great, with two - very good, ones are rarely considered above average. Other attributes are a nice bonus if high, but are rarely payed much attention too.
