Do you have to have a 2h weapon equiped to get the counterstrike bonuses, or a pole to get the block bonuses???

Thanks in advance for your help

Exactly.
Block = pikeman/rifleman
Counterattack = swordsman/carbineer
Dodge = fencer/pistoleer

Yes. The profession bonuses don't stack. That is, I couldn't dabble in Pistoleer and Fencer to get 160 dodge. I'd get 80 dodge when holding a pistol, and 80 dodge when holding a one handed sword. And no dodge when holding nothing.

You have to have the weapon equiped to get the dodge/block/Counter attack.

Defences vs states, melee and ranged defences will work with any weapon. Melee and ranged are capped at +125 (as are dodge block/counter attack) from skills, and you can get another 25 from AA/CA, and a little bit more from food.

You can kill the gamer, but you can never kill the game.

You absolutely can dabble in professions that both have dodge to increase your total amount. But you do have to have a weapon from a profession that uses dodge for that skill to be active. If you have +80 dodge from pistoleer and +80 dodge from fencer, when you are either holding a pistol or a 1-H weapon, you will have +125 dodge (It is capped at +125).
