Daimyo

I'm on pvp as a coercer but want to highlight an Enchanter AA.

The STR line riposte/parry 360 degree proc (max. at 8%). I am not at home so I cannot get the exact name of the AA but it also modifies melee range and melee skills as well?

1). The ripsote/parry does not work against ranged attacks even though it states it will riposte/parry (need confirmation) "all incoming attacks". I can almost 100% confirm this. I did some testing and not a single ranged melee hit in ~100 attacks was parried/riposted.

2). The extended melee range only works for melee based CA and not auto attack. IMO coercers have very poor melee damage DPS anyway, but why restrict the extended melee range for CA only? Broken or intended? Especially considering you might only have 1-4 melee CA's depending what general AA spec you have. (I have 1)..

These issues might not be so relevant for PvE but in PvP against rangers as a coercer, it becomes very frustarting.

look up the definition of "riposte" and "parry"... this doesnt make sense for arrows or thrown weapons... it either misses you or not, you dont whack that shit out of midair =)

Daimyo

The ability is called: Spell blades reflexes

It is supposed to "riposte" all incoming attacks (360 degree), yet when I tested it, it doesn't work against ranged attacks.

Considering the vunerobility of enchanters anyway, especially coercers vs. rangers who auto attack 1/3 of my hp every few seconds, expalin to me why it shouldn't work as the description say?

Using lore is not an excuse for this ability to be broken imo..

lol nubs.. rangers hit me further than i can cast and they can track me down so they generally get first hit which takes upward of 50% of my hp first attack..

trivialise FTW lol..

I hope that godlike comment was also a joke.. because coercers are canon fodder in 90% of situations lol

Well, Exur never was, but that's a different story.

If they allow your ability to proc on us, they need to change most procs in the game. Offensive and defensive alike. So many buffs are useless on a Ranger.

Daimyo

Change it to parry ranged attack and riposte melee attacks at least then... or maybe riposte a % of the damage back onto the ranger (who has more HP than my coercer btw anyway)...

You know of all people demron how squishy coercers are.

Regardless of how Exur looked in his l33t videos (lol), he died A LOT.. and he only showed you his victories.. i would have thought any moron would have figured that out by now?

Besides, I'm only asking for the AA ability to work like it is intended as it is written.

I would see no problem with you parrying Ranged attacks. And you could have as many HP as the Ranger, or pretty damn close if you'd increase your stamina as much as you increase your intel. Far too often cloth casters won't increase their stamina, or hit points.

I did this early on with my Warlock, went all intel, then realized through experience, hey, I need hit points too. So now I'm starting to reduce my intelligence in some areas, and increase my hit points. Without adornments, I've gained over 1000 hit points.

Holy shit, stop crying.

Coercers are fine.
