The numbers shooting off my opponent's head are generally too quick for me to tell what is going on and the combat log never says more than 'your opponent attacks but you counter attack!' (or something like that). Does it actually inflcit damage as a response or simply negate the attack?

I would love it if swordsmen could post their opinions here on counterattack versus dodge and block. This matter is larger than limiting it to a single profession.

Actually... Carbineer also has counter-attack. I was wondering if these 2 professions combined would make a good template??

I am a carbineer swordsman, the only i ever counterattack with any decent frequency is when i have CoB on in PvE and in PvP. Which kind of freaked me out. Ihave found i can avoid about 2 in 5 shots with Counterattack, about 3 in 5 with CoBing and Counterattack. Really shocked me that it works better (or seems to) in PvP than it does in PvE.
I usually use carbines until my opponent is KD/Dizzy'd then finish them off with /headhit3 and /2handhit3. I also think carbineers get more CA than swordsman so that might make a difference with defence stacking.

Afaik it just negates that particular attack and doesn't work in the sense of a true counterattack as the name implies.

Hmmmm... is Shadow Hunters looking for people? I need a guild for my Chilastra character.
I was considering just adding the counterattack line of carbineer to a rifleman/2 hand sword mix. Master Marksman/Master Swordsman/Master Rifle/0-0-4-0 Carbineer.

That would actually make a pretty good template.
My guild is looking for people if your still interested. We're a fairly small guild and we all get along. We have a small city about 2000m outside of Theed. Talk to Headhunter ingame to get more information or to get recruited.
