Thread: Multiprofession defense stacking?

Does it stack? i asked this a month ago, and noone could give me a definitive answer....does counterattack work when using a pike?
No, it would only work when you had a 2 handed weapon (or carbine) equipped. I belive Fencer & Pistol use dodge..I don't know but I'd guess that would leave rifle & pikemen with block. Most people seem to think this will be nerfed, and I for one happen to think it would be a good idea, as long as they gave each class some sort of compensation, however minor...
From tests done I heard they broke that. Dodge and the like don't seem to stack from fencer to pistol, pike to rifle, sword to carbine.
I think they just made npcs much more accurate. The true best test for stacking is really simple. Don't try to take a master fencer/pistoleer and test with them. It won't give you accurate results.
Take a pure master fencer with no marksman at all, hand him a pistol, see how he dodges, then take the pistol out and give him a carbine or something of that nature and see how well he dodges.
Or reverse it. Master pistoleer, no brawler, hand curved sword, ten switch to pike or somethin.
This was how they originally proved they stacked, and I haven't heard anyone post this test since the patch, I just hear about peopel "getting hit more" who have master or high up in both fencer and pistoleer.

I can tell you for certain that it will be a waste of time to try the suggestion of having a fencer see if he blocks while holding a carbine or a pistoleer while holding a pike. The skills mods are weapon specific. I am a Rifleman (block) and a Swordsman (counterattack). I have never seenand will never see a block while I am holding a 2H sword nor a counterattack while holding a rifle.
However, the first part of the test is a good suggestion and will accomplish its purpose.That will tell you whether the dodge modifers from fencer work with pistol or the dodge modifiers from pistoleer work with 1H Sword (i.e. weapons specific + profession specific or just weapons specific).
test. I am a Rifleman and I am a Swordsman. I
Yay!
