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.
This skill, like Shield Bash is extremely effective against Assassins, and could be used to stop their attack chains.
When protecting against attacks that cannot be blocked (such as Pure Strike or the enchantment Fox's Promise), the attacker will still suffer Deadly Riposte's damage and bleeding effects even though the attack isn't blocked.
