Usage

This underused skill, combined with Riposte, will make short work of any warrior. When both are combined, the resulting DPS is extremely high. Both skills can be activated instantly while performing another skill. This allows you to 'cover' the two second duration of -40 armor when you use Healing Signet. Combined with a stance, the damage reduction from blocking enemy attacks is considerable.

Note: When protecting against attacks that cannot be blocked (such as Pure Strike, or any attack from an attacker using Warrior's Cunning), the attacker will still suffer Deadly Riposte's damage and bleeding effects even though the attack isn't blocked.
