Can't wait to finish master brawler so I pick up swordsman and stack its counterattacks with master carbineer. It's gonna be fun having 215 counterattack.

Everything I've read implies that Counterattack is also weapon-specific.

Sorry

umm a pistoler fencer dodge stacks you barely get hit with that combo. it is only stackable with anouther profession is if that profession gives you +'s for that skill like for counter attack. you will have 215 counter attack in your skill mods. it doesn't split it up.

So yes it does stack so if you have a sword out or a carbine you will have 215 counter attack. but if you have a pistol orfencer fr anyother professionout you will not get the counter attack mods you will get the total dodge whenyou have pistol out or have fencer out.

ok facts:

sword counterattack stacks with carbineer as does fencer and pistoleer and pike and rifle, and as of the vehicle patch, as seen on test center, this has not changed

sword will not mix with fencer for counterattack +110 and dodge +105, it will only work depending on the weapon your using

melee and ranged defense will stack from any profession no matter the weapon

it is useless to say that any given post will end all the ct dodge block stacking questions i just have nothing better to do

FYI - All skills cap at 125. otherwise looks great. get some def vs KD SEA. max that and your solid.

One of my guildies on Eclipse is Master Swordsman, TKM, Master Brawler and duelist.. Apparently it rocks, both PvE and PvP.. And yes.. I want one

I guess there are a few people still left hiding under a rock that don't know the truth about this issue. Apparently they are all second graders under that rock....

Huh?? I feel like im reding that it says counter-attack and dodge arent weapon specific.. meh Anyways

Why hasent anyone mentioned riflemen... have you seen the renged defence from like 3 of the boxes.. holy moly. Go up one fencer tree and one riflemen tree and your pretty cool for def... I think, gotta go look again.

I have not read all of the replies, so this may have already been stated. For PvP, I suspect that having level 3 in both ranged and melee mitigation will be a virtual requirement. Someone without any mitigation will take over twice the damage as someone with level 3. Taking double damage is a good way to get yourself killed in a hurry. We'll have to see, of course, but this is my guess.

>>FYI - All skills cap at 125

I don't think this is the case. I think at master swordsman / master carbineer your counterattacks will stack up to 190. Can anyone confirm this? I'm pretty sure I'd like to drop CH to try this combo out soon..

nevermind, just re-read the thread and saw dark-b's reply. looks like if the pistoleer/fencer combo works, the swordsman/carbineer combo should work as well
