Carbineer Archive

Often times when I am fightingPvE with my carbine(range and melee) often times a +counterattack+ will appear above the mob. I don't know exactly what this means since I have not actually taken the time to research it or experiment with it.

I duelled another carbineer the other day and he counterattacked when I shot him...

A lot of mobs counterattack me when I try and shoot them - but I can't recall one instance where I ever actually counterattacked myself. I don't pvp much so maybe it works there but not in pve? Sorry if this doesn't help - I'd be interested to know if it actually works as well.

I had a pistoleer friend of mine counterattack. She doesnt even have the skill and I do!

I have seen myself counterattack twice. "So-and-so hits you for X, but you counterattack!".

Normally I would miss it in the combat spam, so I have probably done it more than once.

I think that the problem with counterattack is that you see it in the combat spam sometimes (not enough) and you do not take damage form an attack that you counterattck on, but you also do not get a free attack at that point. I would think that when we counterattack, we should either get hit or not get hit, but then attack the other thing out of turn. The reason that I don't think that it should matter if we get hit or not is because why would we have to not get hit in order to shoot back at someone? Don't get me wrong, it would be great if we never got hit on a counterattack, but that may be too powerful. Not sure. So basically, I don't think that counterattack is working right now.

yeah I've seen counterattack go off in my combat spam several times. It seems to be working OK even if not very often.

yeah my counter attack goes off...

a bh eyeshot me, makes you blind and miss all your shots... but I hit with a counter attack. So I guess it's working.
