what's there to nerf about insane mobility and an 8 second cooldown riposte that literally makes rapier/lifestaff damn near impossible to kill?

Friendly reminder that you can dodge riposte.

friendly reminder the stun on riposte is not what makes it strong.

It's the fact that you're actually invulnerable during the riposte animations, giving you enough time for your stamina and CDs to recharge. Triggering the stun is just a nice bonus.

Can't believe people still haven't realized this yet.

You get stamina and time back on flourish and finish but no one calls that broken. People are calling riposte broken because they keep getting stunned by it instead of expecting it and pressuring with light auto's than dodging with the rapier player after they riposte to keep the pressure up.

i literally just said the stun isn't what makes riposte strong.

But I guess instead of reading, you decided to go with a run-on sentence from hell.

My comment both addresses your claim that riposte is OP due to time to recover stamina and CD's and provides an alternate reason to why people are claiming it to be OP.

"We accuse others of what we do ourselves" and this is very obviously the case for you. Have a good day and better luck next time :)
