Thread: Parry/Riposte Changes.

    Parry/Riposte Changes.

    What is the update on these? Will they come with the rebalance? Or have they been completely scrapped?

    We got told about them, and the ideas on what was going to happen to them and there hasn't been a single word about them since.

    Tip #743: As noted in Tip #244, tea bags have an infinite variety of uses. However, there's always one jerk who will want to give you crap over drinking tea. Particularly if in a new town, use this as an opportunity to assert yourself. Any drunken idiot can win a bar fight. It takes a real man to win a bar fight while enjoying a cup of Earl Grey.

    I'd suggest putting all your IP in them just in case.

    I am assuming they will be looked at for rebalance, but since progress on the rebalance has been painfully slow, I wouldn't expect they have started looking at parry/riposte yet. Remember, it is one of those old, dead mechanics which will probably (knowing how the old coders did things) have some issues just bringing them back to life.

    I wouldnt expect anything concrete, however from what i understand riposte might be an attack similar to backstab that advy get with certain amount of sneak attack skill. Parry might work like an attack blocker with % chance based on skill up to 10%. But don't take that to the bank.

    maybe they need ideas?

    I'd go with:

    Parry skill: 1< skill <1000
    Parry (armour) activate

    Active for 2 seconds.

    when active, parry will force evade on NEXT attack.

    Parry recharge: 60 seconds-54s*(skill/1500)

    (capped recharge at 6 seconds, at 1500 skill).

    Parry skill: 1001<skill<2000

    Active 3 seconds,
    When active will Force evade on next 1 attack and 1 perk damage

    Parry skill: 2001<skill<3000

    Active 4 seconds,
    When active will force evade on next 2 attacks and 1 perk damage


    Riposte:
    if skill >1
    recharge: 60s-54s*(skill/1500)

    Activate: on successful parry and wielding phys/melee weapon

    On use:
    Instant Weapon damage @ AMS vs DMS check
