The last few days (since the latest "big patch") I have noticed that I have successfully counterattacked several times. Sometimes multiple times per fight, if I'm fighting something that takes a while to kill. This is occurring without any training in the counter insurgency line, so I don't have any of the additional +counterattack modifiers that come with that line.

While I receive combat spam that indicates I successfully counterattacked, I have not observed an actual attack result from this maneuver. It doesn't seem to have any effect on my queued actions, it doesn't give me a free immediate attack, etc. In effect, there doesn't appear to be any difference between counterattack and, say, dodge - other than the name.

It's nice to see counterattack "working," but it still doesn't seem to be working as advertised. Has anyone else noticed any changes in counterattack lately?

It si the same for me, I can avoid a shot, it doesnt counter attack though. I think i know why too.

It says it avoids a shot, and makes an unstoppable counter attack. Think about it, you can't stop what doesnt exist.

I have not noticed this at all...

Does it only show up in the combat log...

Does it work in PVP ?

I myself have Intermidiate Counter Insergency (Hoped I spelled it right...lol) and I have not once Counter Attacked. If they fix this I might be able to kill stuff because we all know its impossible to actually hit for the first 20-45 seconds of a fight (its not that bad but, it sure feels like it)

w00t I hit em.... DOLT only 93 dmg. BLEEP BLEEP PIECE OF BLEEP =)

I have noticed a *slight* increase in the occurence of counterattacks in my combat spam, but I haven't seen an actual counterattack happen when it did occur. Basically, it seems to have improved from a completely useless move that never went off, to a dodge that hardly ever goes off. Still pretty worthless. I guess any improvement is a good one though, eh?
