How does Counter Strike actually work?

Hey guys,

I’ve never actually invested a single point in counter strike, but how does it actually work?

The damage seems minimal on the description and with only 15% chance to activate to start it just seems a bit pointless!

Thanks for feedback

You get hit, it activates

Simple

Keep in mind that those rather small numbers are then modified by your physical and bleed damage stats. A phys/bleed character can squeeze some pretty respectable damage out of counterstrike. Also, the 15% chance goes up as you level to 25 at max and 30 at overcap.

That said, the real draw in my opinion is the +% retaliation for retaliate builds.

Not really, you were on to something with that bleed part:p

Haha, every time I think I have a handle on what a skill can do, one of you guys has a crazy build that uses it way better. I stand corrected :stuck_out_tongue:
