Build Questions

Well... I'm new to this boards and I was curious....

Are the riposte skills the rage right now as well as Glad's for tanks?

Well... I'm asking because one of my guildie whipped me pretty bad in a duel ( 1v1) . And I'm trying to get revenge on him for that defeat.

Well. I'm asking would Grenth's Balance be a poor choice to take against a riposte build?

What I would want to do if he has no energy-draining attacks. I would let him attack me and I would activate both the Riposte attacks and then when I'm low enough in health and he's high on health. I activate GB and then use Plague touch to remove the bleeding caused by the Deadly Riposte and then spamming adren skills or I could do some KD's so he can't heal or flee. Only problem with this I can see is lack of stoneskin gauntlets ( Ya, I know, I need to get those) and GB is a one-shot deal because he's pretty smart.

I'm leaning towards the hamme skills because of their KD's but can their KD break through both Riposte and DR's block? Or do I need to use a 'decoy' skill?

hmm...hey i have an idea.u can go /mes and use ancestors visage and/or sympathetic visage along w/ soothing images.(1st 2 skills are enchantments that make foes attacking u lose ALL adrenaline and 3 energy for each hit.second makes it so the enemy cant gain adrenaline.)and ripo and DR can be used even when hes on ground i think.im certain he can use on ground w/ stances(glads def).or use expose defenses or blind him or SS him.
