Is the counterattack any good? Or how to say.. does it work properly? You have 100 as master HS, 125 is the cap. Is there any difference in having 100 or 125?


I'm thinking of taking 0030 carbineer to cap the counterattack and also gain ranged mitigation 2. But is there any point in having high counterattack? Does it work against NS and Tuskens for example?


-Edit- (this is aimedfor PvE)

It *does* work, but whether or not its useful is still to be tested imo.


With CoB on, u counter more often, and if u read the combat logs, u see that quite a few attacks get a 'X attacks you for Y, but u Counter'


So it does do something, just acts the same as block really, but probably better than block, as instead of just blocking a shot, u counter it. However, even with CoB on, it doesnt happen as much as the fencer dodge, who with CoB on, makes it nigh-on impossible to hit them.


Also, alot of swordsman use CoB alot, but all it does is improve the amount of times u counter, so it must work well if people keep using CoB.

Ok, if we skip the counterattack and talk about dodge then. If i would have:



  • M HS

  • M Brawler

  • 3440 Fencer

  • 4004 TKA

  • 0040 Medic

that leaves me with capped melee def, 119 ranged def and 90 dodge. Will this help my PvE any? Is there a chance to dodge the NS or "boss" Tuskens attacks?

dodge only works with 1 handed weapons and pistols...


counter attack wont work with a 1 handed weapon out...


counter attack only works with a 2 handed weapon and carbines...

There are foods that are advertised to increase your dodge ability (Air Cake, Pikatta Pie, Deneelian Fizz Pudding) that can be used regardless of the weapon you're weilding. Actually these foodsdon't really increase dodge but gives a generic defense bonus that works against either ranged or melee attacks.
