Thread: Parry Riposte?
regardless of the weapon i have equipped, parry riposte seems to cause 15 damage back to the attacker for each hit i receive. Mind you, I still get hit for the 50-2000 damage is was getting hit for without parry riposte, so keep CoB up if you're gonna use it.
It goes away immediately upon using another attack, and as I've never seen anything do less than 15 damage to me, I can't imagine that you could kill anything with it over any period of time before getting incapped yourself. Do yourself a favor and just use CoB with the biggest damage smackdown attack you have action for.
COB seems to cap your defense completely. check around in the TKm forums - there was just a test done on this...
if you're cob'd you don't need parry.

Agree. 
To me CoB takes the place of intimidate. They still hit you,BUT the damage is greatly reduced. (Ex. I was getting it for 135 damage a tick. I hit CoB and still get hit, but for only39 damage a tick.)
