Carbineer Archive

I have seen some post where it says that intimidate cuts all defence mods by something like 50% so having a counterattack of 150 would get cut to 70, which a fair bit better then the 62, which is what the 125 would be cut to. Also stun drops it by 25% or something too, so stun and intimadate stacked would cut it from 150 to 19 and the 125 would be cut to 12 so while it's not much better some say that is how it works. There was some thread somewhere that had a name like My Swordsman PVP build or something like that, and that discusses the whole cap thing. I think though that after Gab gets done with the alpha testing for the CU he might conduct some tests and post his findings, but by then it may be a moot point.

I believed the hype and ground up to Carbineer 0/0/3/0. +170 counterattack or so with a +10 AA.

And Mastered Brawler at about the same time from Ranger Tracker/M Swords.

I rarely get hit twice in a row without counterattacking against heavy NS so a modest assumption can be made that I counter >50% of the time without food. COB seems to make that even better, directly of indirectly.

My experience in this game against high level mobs says getting stated is GOING to happen regardless of defenses againstthem.

My only hope is to put off the inevidableD-KD/PC +choke-to-death combo long enough to kill my enemy and in this way overkill counterattack is working.

I know this is a playstyle comment but having carbines makes pulling a NS soooooo easy and I can have her stated before she even comes near me and have counterattack in effect the entire time.

regarding your first question, "block" you actually take 50% or so of the damage,

whereas "counterattack" zero damage.
