Riposte

[Agaron]

Isn't it supposed to parry and return a swing? I've yet to see a returning swing. :confused:

Something I've been meaning to test out myself. Maybe tonight instead of showing my sexy armor off in EC tunnel ill grab a healer and take some logs. I honestly don't pay attention to my combat log enough to be able to answer properly.

EDIT* I also feel like I remember parry and riposte working separately, though I can't say im sure on that.

Yes, Riposte is supposed to parry and return an attack. Thats what made it so nice.

When you riposte you do not get hit, and hit the mob back. I wasn't sure if by using the word parry he was saying, your parry skill goes of, then your riposte skill can go off. I was under the impression, they were unrelated skills. IE - if you parry, you just parry and that's that. If you riposte, the mob does not damage you, and you hit the mob back.

EDIT* wouldn't be completely surprised if I'm wrong and u can only riposte after a successful parry but I really don't know never paid that much attention.

As far as I recall, Riposte worked independently of parry in EQ... In WoW, you had to wait till you parried, then for a few seconds, you could click the button and riposte if you wanted to.. However, this is not WoW.

There's nothing wrong with riposte. works fine. except maybe that you (at least 2ish months ago) riposte while ducking.

parry is a separate skill. example of a battle log:


Rogean owns YOU for 32000 points of damage!
Rogean owns YOU for 32000 points of damage!
Rogean tries to own YOU, but you parry!
Rogean owns YOU for 32000 points of damage!
Rogean owns YOU for 32000 points of damage!
Rogean tries to own YOU, but you riposte!
You try to hit Rogean, but miss!
Rogean owns YOU for 32000 points of damage!
You have been slain by Rogean!
LOADING, PLEASE WAIT...s

Should stunned mobs be able to riposte?

How'd you get over 128,000 hp?

Only reason I bring this up is because my swing timer has always been the same. I hear the sound effect, and skill raised, but I never see swings, or hits from riposte. Technically I should be able to double attack, then riposte and have that double attack again. I've yet to see any flurry of 3-4 hits, and my skill is maxed. It has always been that standard 1-2 hits, so my assumption is that's broken.

[Rogean]

I hit for way more than 32k, wtf

Is your str 11teen billion?

[Droop]

I remember I used to attack a green mob (an orc for example), and they'd always swing a couple of times, and then my riposte would kill them. This does NOT happen here, at least for me. It's also maxed out.

I am a rogue if this changes anything?

Is it happening to other people?

[Lazortag]

I totally got riposted by a mob the other day. The mob was running too, which is a little fucked up, but whatevz. Anyways, I took damage, so it works for mobs at least?

[Droop]

I have got riposted from behind a mob lol. Not sure how that works, but whatev.

Could it be just not working for PCs? Maybe just rogues for some weird reason?

[Thulghor]

Yeah, been testing this out. Ripostes are really rare. Like, really rare at level 33 at least. Seeing "Such and such tries to hit YOU, but you riposte!" Not seeing any damage spam after that.

Not sure if it's broke, or if it's just not reporting damage or what. I could also be reading it wrong, but who knows. I'll mess around some more.

[Dantes]

Yeah, riposte really rare for me too at lvl 31. I see skill-ups for it after I level, but I have yet to see a riposte message in the chat window and I watch it often. I could imagine that if it were completely broken, several other Warriors would have posted a bug by now. It seemed to be rare on live too, but I honestly thought I would have seen at least one by now.

[Kender]

reposte is not supposed to work from behind. otherwise there is going to be some serious issues later when mobs can enrage hehe
