Talk:Counter Blow

Related Skills?

This is a somewhat odd selection of skills. Shield Bash and SoJ are Knockdown from attacking, but what about Hammer Bash? Might as well list every knock down skill if we put that, that's all it has in common with Counter Blow. Arkhar 18:08, 15 March 2007 (EDT)

Shouldn't This Be Related to Stuff Like Bane Signet?

Shouldn't this be related to something like Bane Signet? And on a similar note, shouldn't this be unlinked like Dual Shot? 76.235.135.238 22:19, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

If you will take the time to scroll down, you will see that it is already mentioned as related in the Related skills section. Also, it's linked to Hammer Mastery because it is a Hammer attack. --Chaiyo Kaldor talk contribs 22:24, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Why is Shield of Judgement related? Koen 10:53, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Deleted this, the only relation was the KD. Koen 12:04, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

High-End Usage

Doesnt seem to get much play high-end. At least from what i observer, because no one really linebacks'. What could it be used for? Tokorumble 20:14, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

It does provides a free knockdown(against other melee) without any recharge or losing any adrenaline. So I dont get it why tourneys wont use it.--ShadowFog 20:46, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Knocking down a warrior doesn't do all that much, other than stopping them for 2-3 seconds. Whereas knocking down a monk could cost them a critical moment to heal an ally. It's mainly because casters aren't always wanding or are wielding a sword/shield. --8765 21:15, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

healing--support--spikers typical spikers being hammer warriors and/or evis warriors. killing the spike might annoy but as your a warrior yourself you should be worrying about causing a spike yourself.--Justice 23:32, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

This skill has much better usage in PvE, since all the caster mobs wand if they're not casting a spell. If you watch some GvG or such, you'll notice many casters simply do nothing if they're not active, such as out of energy or no one to heal. --8765 00:06, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

I think its perfect to kd the warriors. killing some spike with this should really relax your monks. And after the spikes got downed, think how much damage a war would do? (even if it would never kill anybody) With 8 adrenaline or so? in 3 secs? maybe like 100. Another relaxing moment for your monks. Yay! 95.119.56.171 08:38, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

This needs a buff

This skill needs a buff, perhaps a functionality change similar to the recent changes to unused elite skills. Perhaps make its knockdown take effect if target is casting a spell/skill in adition to while attacking? I think theres a lot of possibilities. 82.149.1.199 21:28, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

would be stupidly overpowered. They would have to make it lose all adren to give it that buff. This is a fine skill for pve and lower end pvp (RA/TA, etc) Constant KD against sins, dervs, wars, paragons, and rangers.--71.176.25.37 03:04, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

This skill needs a buff in PvP but it's great in PvE. Since monsters always attack unless they're kiting, moving somewhere, or using skills, this knocks them down effectively.
