Carbineer Archive

Funny you should mention this. I did some testing this weekend and found some problems. I reported them to the Devs today and it turns out you are in fact correct (as was I). Counterattack and Block are not working right at this time and will be fixed as part of the combat balance. Sorry no ETA other than the fact the issue has been acknowledged and the Devs will look into it.

Uhhhh, I like Carbineer counterattack the way it is. It is much better as a wannabe dodge rather than a lame unblockable counterattack against 80% composite armor. Wouldn't it be a little hard to follow up a shot with an unblockable counterattack if you are 64 m away and wielding a sword? I am not sure what kind of problem you are having. Please explain more. I can counter just fine.

I have +60 counterattack and I barely ever counterattack anything.I would estimate I counterattack about 5% of all attacks shot at me (or less). The only difference I noticed was after picking up novice pikeman and getting +25 block.(i readsomewhere that block is bugged and is displayed as a counterattack on the combat spam.)CoB also seems to help with counterattack and/or block. But I havent noticed any difference from the amount of shots I counterattacked precarbineer as to postcarbineer w/ +60.

I have noticed that when fighting a Master Heavy Swordsman they seem to counterattack alot of shots.

Additional comments would help to clarify this

for some reason, i counterattack much more. not as much as i did before the defense stacking cap, but it improves much when you get over a hundred.

I have one character going up Pistoleer/Smuggler and of course my Master Carbineer. I can tell you with 100% certainty that a Novice Pistoleer will dodge more than a Master Carbineer will counterattack.

I don't know which one is broken or maybe both, but I can say the cry baby Pistoleersare not as broken as they say and the Carbineers are not completely fixed either.

Combat Revamp......any day now.....

It does seem like the defenses run a logarithmic curve. My +24 ranged defense means people never miss me, but as soon as I equip my two aakuan rings for a total +34 Nightsisters and Nynm elite guards start missing about 20-25% of the time. I've noticed the same about counterattck. After they added defenses I picked up +60 counterattack and after about 4 hours of level 40 faction missions I hadn't countered once. Now I have +80 and I do counter every once in a while. Seems like the +80 counter makes them miss a lot more too, instead of just getting hit and shrugging it off.

I have a couple of master carbineer friends and we duel every once in awhile. That extra 25 counterattack makes a huge difference, as in going from countering about %5 of the time to close to 50%.

As far as counterattack not working like it should compared to dodge, I have +0 dodge and still dodge about 3 times as often with a pistol as I counterattack with a carbine, so yes, Something is bugged about it.
