Riposte

Description
For 8 seconds, while you have a sword equipped, you "Block" the next attack against you, and your attacker takes 15...51 damage.

Usage
Particularly useful if you have a way to build adrenaline quickly. With a high tactics skill level, the damage potential is very high and as a bonus, you block the next attack against you.

In PVP, this skill isn't seen very often, as adrenaline is probably used in more 'direct' attacking skills. However, against another warrior and if you have quick reflexes, you can 'block' many skills against you, as their weapon will flash yellow before they strike.

Although the skill description doesn't mention this, Riposte only works against melee attacks.
