Talk:Riposte

This skill is actually called "Deadly Riposte".


 * And such an article already exists. I think the proper course is to delete, though it may make sense to add a redirect. --Talrath Stormcrush 08:03, 12 Jul 2005 (EST)

Riposte and deadly riposte are different skills, as I noted a while ago on the deadly riposte talk page. I reverted this back to the correct description. --Fyren 08:23, 13 Jul 2005 (EST)
 * sorry, hadn't read up on all the warrior skills. Also, I added the numeric values for this skill.--Jackel 08:24, 13 Jul 2005 (EST)

Why does the chart go up to 20?
Why does the chart go up to 20? Is it ever possible to get more than 16 (max, helm, superior rune) on this skill? (And, heck, how do you get 20 on *any* skill at all?) 141.161.54.23 06:36, 3 January 2006 (UTC)


 * There are way too many progression tables with impossible attribute ranks. Sigh -PanSola 06:58, 3 January 2006 (UTC)


 * It's possible to get to 20 in an elemental attribute if you are an elementalist with 16 in the stat (from base + helm + sup rune) AND you have a 20% chance of +1 to that atribute from an item AND you have one of the God's blessings you can get in Cantha that gives +1 to a specific attribute for some minutes AND you use Glyph of Elemental Power for +2 to all elemental attributes for your next spell. That adds up to 20, which is why the progression tables go to 20; it lets them all be uniform in the wiki, even though most classes cannot aspire to ever getting 20 in an attribute. -CoreDumpError 11:00 6 June, 2006 (UTC)
 * Coming in 5 months late into the discussion, you completely missed the context. The actual progression table for this Warrior skill was filled all the way up to 20.  Ie, the damage amount was filled in for 20 Tactics. - 13:53, 7 June 2006 (CDT)

skill range
does this skill even work against ranged attacks from bows and wands/staffs? -PanSola 07:01, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't think so. Even though the skill description says "attack", not "melee attack", I've never seen it triggered by projectiles or other attack spells. -- 07:37, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Does this work with non-swords?
There is now a proposed build article, W/N Grenths/SF Solo farmer, that claims that Riposte (and Deadly Riposte) can work with axes, assuming you switch to a sword to activate them. However, my understanding of these skills, mostly based on their skill descs, is that you have to be holding a sword in order to block the attack and deal the damage. IOW, if you simply activate a Riposte and switch to an axe, then nothing happens. Am I mistaken? (Unfortunately not in the vicinity of a GW client atm to test it myself.) &mdash; Stabber (talk) 22:51, 10 April 2006 (CDT)


 * You need to hold a sword to get the block. --68.142.14.14 23:00, 10 April 2006 (CDT)

No swords only. On that build you kill the warriors with ripostes then switch to axe for other stuff. They die fast from ripostes Skuld  00:21, 11 April 2006 (CDT)
