Counterattack, as well as Block, are currently not working properly. They are both secondary defences that are similar to fencers' and pistoleers' Dodge.

Damn......just looted a tape with Carbine Aiming+12 , Counterattack+9, Wound Healing (Music)+5.....better put it in the bank for when it gets fixed.



While we are on the topic of counterattack, does anyone know if you counter with a default attack, or with the next qued special?

Hate to tell you this, but unless you have a +13 Carbine Aiming already in your armor/clothing, you won't get the +9 Counterattack. And Carbine Aiming only happens with the /aim command.

Counter-attack is working just fine actually.


When you get the message that "You havebeen hit for xxx damage but you counterattack!", you not only recieve no damage, but your next attack is unblockable.


I had tested this out before the stacking nerf with my friend who had something like +190 ranged defense. Every time I got the 'you counterattack' message, I was able to hit him with my next shot. Otherwise, I was hardly able to scratch him.

Counterattack is not working correctly right now. It should be "activating" far more than it is. It really is a confusing issue. It is not completely broken since it does sometimes activate. However, it is not performing as the Devs intended it to.

Working fine when it "hits".....right now I Counterattack maybe 1 in 20 or less, but my NOVICE Pistoleer alt will sometimes Dodge two or three times in a row on Dant

As with Pikeman Block, it only turns on when you /center. So, Since I'm levelling Pikeman, I turn on /center and start counterattacking and blocking much more often than before (though not the best I could be, or as long).

counterattack has been working just fine for me as of late...both while using carbine and while using sword (hammer).

guess this "bugged" nature is pretty sporadic cause i've been watching for it and don't see any problems...and WOW, +125/+150 counterattack is surprisingly much nicer than +105/+130 at master carb. definately nice for only a +20 "stack"

Yeah, i haven't really been paying attention to how often it kicks in... I just got pistoleer recently and have had nothing to really compare it to. So you all may be right about it not activating enough. I just don't have any reference point for comparison.

That was my problem as well. I borrowed a friends pistoleer recently and noticed he was dodging like crazy. So I asked the Devs what was up and the response was that counterattack should be kicking in as often as dodge. That is the problem with some aspects of this game. You do not know they are not working until you play other classes. Even then, without a forum like the correspondant forum I don't think we would have been able to get a straight answer.
