Riposte

Description
For 8 seconds, while you have a sword equipped, you "Block" the next melee attack against you, and your attacker takes 20...68 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.

Note: Versus attacks that cannot be blocked (such as Pure Strike, or while an attacker uses Warrior's Cunning), Riposte's damage effect will trigger, but the attack will not be blocked.
