The reason this does not crit as high is because the modifier is based off the base attack value of the weapon, not the bonuses added through stat scaling and 1 or two handing the weapon...which is obvious if you have ever backstabbed a Balder Knight with a rapier 2-handed and then 1-handed. It does swing slightly faster than a rapier and slightly less stamina drain but at the cost of less damage and less range and ultimately lower crits. All of that not making this weapon ever worth it other than to challenge yourself with a limited weapon.

What they should have done with this weapon is make it lower armor durability faster or cause bleed or at least have it only require 9 or 10 dex so strength characters had a duelist option to switch to as a scondary weapon but none of these are a reality.
