I've been a Master Heavy Swordsman for a couple weeks now, got my ass whooped by my novice TKA friend using his Dizzy/KD combo on me, but that humiliation aside, it's pretty nice.
Except Counterattck... I've been watching the combat logs very carefully and have come to the conclusion that counterattack is best used as a dodge- mainly because you are not a) guarenteed to even hit your target on the counterattack, and b) even if you do it seems to do an extremely little amount of damage- like the best counterattack I did was for 700 damage. On a MHS, with a powerhammer 202-647, spd 5.2, it's pathetic. The worst part is if you're doing a combination of specials, counterattack seems to waste the special without doing the damage. I've been watching this very closely and it's either like this, or there is a certain lag between hits during combat I'm not noticing.
If you're having this problem or not, I would appreciate other opinions.

counterattack is exactly dodge, but you have the added chance to hit for a non special hit. tahts why its at max 700. counter attack is good but doesnt work as effectively as say dodge even if there both the same value.

Does defensive acuity help us counterattack more with PH/sword in hand?
