For pvp which is best when combined with a katana? I like to use the dark silver tracer, estoc, or rapier. The criticals for the tracer and rapier are about the same. The estoc is behind by around 100dmg.
Rapier class seems like the obvious choice because of the superior range, damage, and the ability to attack from behind a shield. In this aspect the estoc is probably better than the rapier because what you lose in criticals youll probably make up or in melee due to the estoc range. Then again the rapiers right trigger has range plus more damage than estoc's rb (the the behind the shield range for the rapier is small).
For daggers i choose either bandits knife or the tracer. Though i prefer the tracers move set/toxic over the bandit knifes bleed. The daggers range is somewhat small but the startup for their attacks are faster than rapiers which allows for hit and run though only doing between 80 and 180dmg. Which the rapiers can attack outside of range if done right and do more dmg. However i tend to get people to parry more or do a swing in the middle of my dagger rb spam which makes for an easy backstab or parry.
Comment with your thoughts please. If you choose rapiers then which one: estoc or rapier. If you choose daggers: bandits or tracers
