. But sins make up for it in other ways. they do have skills that block, skills thaty keep them alive, and skills thaty can teleport them in and out of battle safely. ive never really played a sin, but ive seen them do damage, and they are good professions, but their niche is more in pvp where you have a better chance at getting a competent monk, and less focus fire on you. maybey now i might feel differently about sins..

I still manage to shine with my sins in PvE, and I can hold my own as well as any warrior... theres just too many people are deadset on countering them in PvP now. xD And I take that fact as a compliment

Solid points made, but the build in question is a gimmick build. No versatility at all, but definitely effective. So, you found a sin build that is capable of beating the riposte build,possibly,but will every sin use this build? Doubtful. The majority are Fallen spider/Horn Of the Ox happy soloists who die against the riposte and even the most cagey sin will find the riposte build to be a daunting task to surpass.
And the Riposte build isn't a gimmicky build? No versatility at all, but effective in the right situation. I'd like to see your warrior Riposte Searing Flames... Expose Defenses > Riposte. On most of my builds, both PvE AND PvP, I carry ED even if I'm not running a high Deadly Arts build. You seem to have quite the hard on for Riposte. That's nice. Fortunately, this game is designed so that for every build, there is a counter build. With there being limits to how many players there are in PvP at one time, this means that not every fielded build will have its counter on the opposing side, making it seem more effective than it really is. And after reading your posts, I'd like to say that I have a Sin build that rips to shreds any warrior build, regardless of what they field. If you'd like to test it out sometime, my IGN is Akuma Raion. |
) on top of THEIR Inscriptions. Not counting "Watch yourself!" being a staple in most Warrior builds, but since it's also affecting party members, meh, you know what i mean

Effectiveness is the key here. The fact that if a sin is melee based, he will have to run into the riposte/deadly riposte skill is obvious. The only thing that has stood against me is a derv with mystic regeneration and the choice of 3 other enchantments, and I have found my way around that as well, but that's another conversation. Riposte is the logical way for a swordsman to do combat. In a sword fight, as in fencing, the riposte is the basis of most defenses in combat,allowing the swordsman to attack and defend at the same time. Maybe you should read up on the subject before you start trying to flame someone . Quote:
