Thread: Counterattacking Force powers

I was unaware we could do this (counterattacking Force powers), but at the NS Stronghold the other night I see in the combat spam:

(this isn't exact obviously, but close, I'm going off of memory)
"[NS] uses the Force to do [xxx] damage to you, but you shrug it off and counterattack!"

Took a screenshot, but I'm at work so can't put it up. I thought only force defense would protect against force powers? Does dodge/block work also in this case?

For added info: I'm Master Brawler/Sword/Rifle. Have +124 Counterattack (a +14 Ubese shirt to normal +110).

Anyone tested this against Jedi? How often does a Force power get block/dodge/counter? Is it reliable--can it be somewhat 'counted upon' in PvP (*if* a Jedi uses the Force, obviously)?

Sorry for the questions, I tried searching the boards for relevant threads that address this issue, but was unable to find one, so just trying to get some info here to a situation I find interesting.

Wow thats a good question. I fight Elders mostly so I don't counterattack squat, but if it showed in your combat log that you did conterattack, then I guess it does "work" against force powers. If its supposed to "work" against force powers I have no clue, but free /bump anyways.

actually, upon checking the screenshot, it wasn't a damage attack i guess, but i think weaken... but it was still counterattacked, screenshot below, it's right in the middle of the spam.

"...attempts to debilitate you using the Force, but you fight through it and counterattack!"

I have Counterattacked A DJK's Force Debilitate. Was very odd.
