More another tool in the toolbet than something overpowered
[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] you should be more worried of NPC ripostes than excited about your own ripostes tbh
When you riposte, you do it with a single Primary weapon hit out of weapon cooldowns. It s just a free attack. So having a high dmg 2h weapon is better for ripostes (your own as they will deal more dmg and NPCs as you will usually trigger less ripostes from them)
