Wakizashi is in dire need of a buff. Out of my 2 days of playing Waki sneak, I can see why people think it's too weak.
It's currently too hard to get behind someone (https://youtu.be/W8s_PUMo2ys?t=32). It's currently too weak (https://youtu.be/uWXcSynpQXY?t=17) to kill anybody and too hard to get behind a damn sniper (https://youtu.be/3ZbpaewogDo?t=9)

Many, many other unaccounted for hits and I've only played waki 2 days ;)
Waki is also too damn expensive and players risk a lot when they take one
