I was wondering if anyone confirmed whether or not rapiers actually receive the 2hander smash bonus. I'm aware it can use 2hand enchants and benefits from reforges like a 2hander but i get mixed answers about the smash modifier being used.

It does receive the 2 handed smash bonus just like any other 2 handed weapon.

Those that say otherwise are just dumbasses.

Thank you for clarifying. I guess this is why combat elves are given rapiers in saga and talent previews.

Does the smash bonus count for things like control bars?

No. Control bars are considered 1 handed weapons, even though they receive the 2 handed weapons special upgrades.
