hhhm i just woundering if i get master cabineer and master sowerdsman will the counter attack stack

im asking this becose alot of people on the fancer bords agree or disagree that pistoleer / fancer doge works

well anywhys does it work?

One thing I heard, slightly off topic, but about counter attack, does intimidate kill the counterattack benefit? That would be a bummer if that were the case. Does it kill dodge and other stuff as well or just counterattack?

Duel me tomorrow, P. I'll show you.

Yes counterattack "stacks" but it maxes at +125 or so.

Counterattack acts as a sort of dodge type move, only instead of simply stopping the attack from damaging oneself, it attacks back instantly, with the damage of a non-special attack from whatever your using.

Your combat queue looks like this usually:

A Piket hits you for 400 damage!

You counterattack the Piket's blow for 340 damage!

This type of damage would be seen with say a 2h curved sword, the damage of 340 would be a non special's average area of damage.

Wow are you misinformed

The combat queue =

A Piket hits you for damage, but you shrug it off and counter attack!

Lol, its just a misnamed dodge, and it definitely doesnt max at +125

Read the pistoleer and fencer forums. All the FOTM pistoleer/fencers just discovered last patch that dodge no longer stacks. There is no reason why CA should be any different.

my mistake im talking about how counter attack WILL max with new updates, they dont want hybrid defense characters anymore for some reason or another. atm they dont max at all

just another blow against the way the skillpoint and skilltree system was SUPPOSED to work. why don't they just break down and go to a straight up class based system? it's obviously what they want anyways, as they've killed dabbling in every place they see it working.

yeah its really butchering why swg is so different then eq daoc and others

Yeah, it may suck that it removed part of the customization part of a character, but honestly, if something is unfair and overpowering, it should be nerfed.

idiots

There haven't been any confirmations about the nerf. What we do know is that it used to stack, but some are saying its been nerfed. As of right now we have no official word so you might want to wait before picking up carbineer.

I'm personally wondering if they have or are planning on nerfing the melee/range defense stacking too.
