Shattered Kingdoms

Do all these attacks avoid counterstrike? It seems like its to easy of a way to avoid counterstrike from a Barbarian.

Wtf, maul?

Basically, all prone causing skills avoid counterstrike, because counterstrike is a damage returning skill. And of course, if the barbarian is already in combat, he cannot counterstrike.

And no, they aren't imbalanced. If barbarians could counterstrike every move in the book they'd be beyond broken.

I think he meant gore, not maul.

one of the listed things does not avoid counterstrike.

#3 maybe?

One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn't belong,
Can you tell which thing is not like the others
By the time I finish my song?

I actually don't know which one. I never see a lot of counterstrike action.

Should we be talking about the cabal ability here?

I was going to mention that, then realized that if I said "That cabal ability doesn't avoid cs" then it would have defeated the purpose of being secretive about what skill it was anyway.

Yeah, doesn't avoid counterstrike, but you can protect yourself against it.

You cannot protect yourself against the counterstrike - I learned the hard way because it was changed.
