Full: For 8 seconds, while you have a sword equipped, you block the next melee attack against you, and your attacker is struck for 15...75...90 damage and begins Bleeding for 3...21...25 seconds.
Concise: (8 seconds.) You block the next melee attack and your attacker takes 15...75...90 damage. Inflicts Bleeding condition (3...21...25 seconds). No effect unless you have a sword equipped.
Versus attacks that cannot be blocked (such as Pure Strike, or while an attacker uses Warrior's Cunning), Deadly Riposte's damage and bleeding effect will trigger, but the attack will not be blocked.
The block effect from this skill takes precedence over all other effects that may cause the attack to be blocked or to miss (including Blindness).
