From my experience with counterattack it only stops you from taking damage. I'm sure oneday in the distant furture they'll fix it to make it a real counterattack.

Regardless of whether it's doing whatever it is "intended" to do. I do notice that I counterattack much more frequently after the 10/8/03 patch.

Maybe "counterattack" was really meant to be "counter attack" (with a space in the middle). This would mean that you counter the attack so the attack was nullified.This means it is working as intended and te players just don't understand how it really should work. Seeing as to how there aren't that many bugs in the game I would give the devs the benefit of the doubt and assume the players are wrong.

I know what counterattack does but i was wondering if it was pve only or does it work in pvp? Also does it increase your chances of dodging a shot or only the chance of you firing back right away?
Thx for any imput, trying to chose carbineer or pistoleer and this is a huge issue

you will get about 215 counter attack from both carbine and sword you get 110 or so from sword and like 105 from carbine or so. as of rigt now i counterattack alot with when iCOB and i only have the counter from master sword.but i don't think it is working right right now. i t is more like a dodge right now theyn a counter attack

Eh? Ummm. no. You do not attack the target with a counterattack. In fact, a lotta the time it doesn't even absorb all of the hit. And bleeds? They go right through a counter.

nope the counterattack is much better than the dodge cuz u hit ur target while doing a counterattack not with a dodge where u evades the bullets. but in case of a bleed the counterattack will take it, not the dodge :/

Can a veteran pikeman answer this question for me?
Why does my combat log say I counterattack a creature when I have no counterattack mods, but I never actually block using my pikeman block skills?
Thanks anyone who can answer this question!

Each time you see "counterattack" in your combat log when using a pike, it is in fact a block. Combat logs of people in range of you show that you "block".

Just curious, havent really checked for myself, but do the Counterattack skill mods work with any weapon or does it specifically have to be with 2h weapons? If it does have to be with 2h weapons, wouldnt it make more sense to have it work with any weapon. I'm currently a master swordsman, working on fencer and pikeman but it seems like being a Master Swordsman gives me nothing unless with a 2h weapon. I mean, fencers and pistoleers get dodge with any weapon, right?

I'm a 3/2/2/2 swordsman. I'm working on Unarmed for Smugglar. I counter-attack a lot so to answer your question, yes I think the skills carry over to other professions.
