I am a master swordsman, master tera kasi. I have noticed that you can counterattack as a TK. I also have noticed you can block and dodge. Since I have counterattack +110 is my chance of counterattacking any higher than my chance of blocking or dodging. I don't even have fencer and I have noticed I dodge as much as I counterattack. Is this just bad luck?

TKA get a skill called defensive acuity rather than dodge, block, counter attack etc. Here issome info explaining this skill in relationship to the other skills mentioned:
"In general (only taking melee into consideration; I am omitting ranged professions for this discussion), you mayONLY dodge if you are wielding a one-handed weapon, counterattack ONLY if you are wielding a two-handed sword, etc. DA is what TKA have in this regard. So, basically, a fencer gets hit and a roll is done to see if he dodges the damage. Same thing happens for TKA but with DA. We get hit and a roll occurs to see if we get a "save." Now, for fencers/swordmen/pikemen, the rest is simple; if they make a successful "save" roll, then they either dodge/counterattack/block respectively. For us, a second roll takes place. Once we make a successful "save" roll, we make another roll to determine whether our "save" was a dodge/counterattack/block. But the likelyhood of saving in the first place was determined by the level of Defensive Acuity; not your specific dodge/counterattack/block statistics."
