a +dodge skill tape will do NOTHING while holding a carbine...gotta have a pistol or 1-handed sword equipped.
however, the devs expressly stated that the +dodge food will function regardless of weapon type...it's misleading that they label it as +dodge, but it'll work along w/ counterattack if holding a carbine.

Ok if I "Counterattack" do I take damage and then deal out damage to the target that hit me, or do I not take damage when counterattacking? (I'm pretty sure its that I don't take damage, but I wanted to be 100% sure)

It works just like block and dodge. No damage to you, no damage to your target.

Block is supposed to reduce damage by about 50%, I believe. Counterattack is supposed hit your target back with unstoppable damage. At the moment, as TheShrak said, they all work like Dodge, just making the damage miss you and nothing happens to your opponent.
Whether Counterattack was supposed just hit them with one free normal attack and whether it was supposed to cause some or all of the damage to you to be mitigated, who knows? Right now, it is just another Dodge.

Nope, it only works like dodge. Block only stops 50% of the incoming damage. It is half as effective.

and counterattack stops the damage, and attacks back with a normal attack, not taking up a round.

Yes, thats what its supposed to do, but I counterattack often and it never deals damage back. It works like dodge as of right now. The devs may fix it (but probally not knowing their track record) *Read your combat window when you do CA, you don't deal damage back.*

Riflemen don't block a lot. Pikemen don't block much either outside of CoB, but when a block happens, it shows up in your combat log as a "counterattack" but the combat log of the person near you will say you "blocked". The Pikeman correspondent has been told that block is supposed to only stop 50%. Working as intended.

Does the skill Counterattack, found only on the Carbineer skill tree, work only with carbines, or does it also work with other weapons?

P.S. - What's this I hear about counterattack being broken?

Counterattack will work ANY TIME you are holding either a carbine class weapon or a two handed weapon class based weapon since both carbineer and swordsman have counterattack as their defense. So essentially, you could stack the defenses from the defense line of swordsman and carbineer to acheive the cap on defensive modifiers of +125 to counterattack (any points above 125 will not affect your chance to counterattack since the cap is 125)

Im as always regrinding a new template and i was wondering how much having 125+ counterattack helps in PvP and PvE.

Anything over 125 counterattack doesn't do a thing. And if anyone tells you otherwise, they are wrong.
