It's possible that you're just not lucky.

anyway to turn taht luck around.. gete higher str? get the def? any tips.

Well, if you're fighting people your level there is a good chance that they have around 60 attack and 99 strength which probably allows them to hit higher than you can with a rapier. Either that or you're just unlucky.

Raise the strength and maybe the hp if you feel it is a bit low. Strength is the most important factor in straight up weapon only fights

I really don't try to fight my levels cause they all are prod's and use vesta/statius.

k i'm going to go to sw and bot and try to get 80+ str with zeals

Rapier stakers are best when you're closed to maxed, I would go for 90+ Strength personally.

yh i suggest get 90+ str

Make sure you PiD, and also, your strength level might be a tad low considering you're a 1 defense staker, keep in mind that you having 80 attack allows your opponent to have roughly +17 str levels & +4 HP levels on you.

to be successful with rapier staking at 1 defense you're going to need relatively high strength, I'd shoot for late 80's/early 90's and you might find yourself winning more and more of your stakes.
