Rapiers and Scythes

I write this mostly about Rapiers because of personal bias, But Scythes are of course in the same boat here.

In any game I play that Rapiers are available I love using them, I love being a finesse swordsman. And I was so excited years ago when rapiers were added to the game. I forget if the Combat update was just before or after their release but I remember being disappointed that Rapiers were cut off from half the combat skill tree, seemingly for being too "delicate". It sucked, and basically delegated Rapiers to a joke or gimmick weapon, as using one was essentially nerfing yourself.

This of course has been exasperated further with the release of Arcana and the new powerful skills that Rapiers again cannot be a part of. I'd love to see this changed, I want to be able to be a finesse Spellsword, a Red mage. Sure there are some Rapiers with crazy max damage to "compensate" for the drawback (It doesn't make up for it) like the Duke's Rapier, but I'd happily see it's numbers brought in line if it meant actually making them usable. And this might be going full crazy, but what other weapon do you think deserves Piercing more than a rapier?

Sorry if this isn't a particularly unique topic, I sent a ticket about it and the reply I got recommended I mention it in the forums.
