I began to notice how mesmer has 2 blocking counter attacks but and it gave a a brilliant idea!
Instead of slow counter attacks implement counter attacks with a 1/4 second cast time. For example, if a thief is about to get killed by an attack the thief can use this 1/4 second counter to deal say 3k or so and would seem to deflect the attack while sliding past his side. This would add some thinking to the game.
Unfortunately, this was supposed to go to the suggestion forum, but I am unable to post there for some reason.
