Thread: Counterattack... how does it function?
The Devs know it is broke..... % chance to counterattack is waaaay to low.....
Counterattack itselft does not damage, it just doesn't take away an attack round like Dodge and Block do, so in effect you get a free attack.
Counterattack works well if you have Center of Being.
Doesn't work well if you don't. Even 120 counterattack just doesn't counterattack often enough...
[Master Bounty Hunter]It currently just negates an attack in my opinion. You don't lose a round I think, but then you don't lose a round when dodging either I'm pretty sure (I'm a carbineer/fencer).
I have a near Master Pistoleer and it sure seems like Dodge takes away an attack round. As Master Carbineer I do Counterattack some but never notice as the firing rate stays the same. The only way I know I Counterattack is a friend telling me he saw it in a duel or checking the Combat Log. With the Dodge animation and lack of firing for one round it is obvious when that happens.
