Dont forget that riposte damage scales with rage, add full invader set (around 80% armor pen) = almost 1k damage per riposte with no CD :shock:

Proc meta has been nerfed into the ground on RoR. Odd that one of the most powerful procs has endured unscathed.

It needs an internal obviously, but hurts low rr WH & WE damage. My WH's damage is pretty sad in Merc gear.

Parry only works when the player is in your frontal cone. I just have a hard time buying into any nerf calls for something that benefits the user with proper positioning/strafing and punishes an opposing player with poor positioning, poor timing/use of CD abilities (i.e. using Rend Soul on a player's frontal cone). Positioning is purely at the discretion of the player.

I don't buy the argument either about snares and what not preventing that positioning because there are ways to break through those also through player use/team play and abilities that serve as a check-and-balance type system involving CDs and CCs.

I play a WH and have no reliable snare in close combat (snap shot requires their back side), but I do have CDs I need to use wisely and have ways to successfully find a players back side that requires execution and timing on my end and my game play.

it would be surprising for me if riposte WH didn’t defend the riposte tactic , I repeat once again under the same conditions you can’t get another player back, this can be done due to ping or the opponent’s sluggishness.

In any case, even if you are so lucky that you hit 50% of your punches in the back of another player, 50% will come in front.
and if you WE in topgear and slayer 42rr in ruin damage you for 50% of your lives without using skill.

This ripost is the odd one out and should be brought inline.
