none of them. go find a whatever Waki of Nimble.

Balance is pretty good too since you get more crits and 100% offhand chance.
Anyway, I agree with ppp82p, Balance 354 or maybe even the artic one.
QUOTE(Scremaz @ Oct 4 2016, 11:28)

and without Balance you'll earn 90% offhand anyways. maybe 92-93 with some forging. which is good enough for a Waki imo. and remember he's struggling to remain alive, so more Parry won't do anything bad.
QUOTE(Sapo84 @ Oct 4 2016, 11:45)

He's still going to get more parry + more attack speed so it's not all bad.
QUOTE(Scremaz @ Oct 4 2016, 12:02)

then throw in another Balance he already has, without the need to soulfuse that lv354 just to see if the style works. stats aren't so different
[edit]: Rapier has Fire Strike, so i'd go with the Fiery. it would be paired with the same Spike Shield he'd has to use for mainhand.

That's not the right IW for a wakizashi (IMG:[

Fatality first, then Overpower. Butcher is 3rd choice.
Right right, but let things take their course.
He has 848574464 wakis, and that is the better one, for now he can use it, then he will search for a better one
The Solution has to be Waki Nimble with Overpower first. Here's why.
I tried on the Waki's I could use, and soul fused the one that was IW10 (It was bought from Auction already IW'd.)
Here's the surprising part,. None of them worked as well as the
Vampire Shortsword .
Not even close.. Immediately noticeable.
The monsters are parrying the hell out of me now. Some will parry me 4 or 5 times. And when they do get hit, the damage to them is much much lower. Two strikes previous is 3 or 4 strikes now.
The best I can figure out is that the 20% counter parry, and the fairly strong amount of upgrades has made that Vampire Short Sword noticeably superior to the Waki's I can use right now.
So I'm thinking as ppp, sapo, and Scremez are suggesting...
Find a really good Nimble Waki, but then also go for counter parry, and upgrade it to the stratosphere as credits allow?
