Guild Wars 2

Hey fellow warriors,

I havent seen a topic for awhile about Mace main hand, but i started to use this weapon again since a long time ago (2 years or more)

But i am having troubles with the Mace #2 Counterblow.
Not the block itself but the counter attack, I find this skill to be too slow to be effective.

Block into a counterblow, the counterblow should be a punishment.
But because its so slow you get hit inbetween because your in melee range ofc and the slow casttime, getting blinded or what not..

My point is, there is no punishment and its too easy to counter the counterblow by walking away / blinding or multiple attack.

Most counter attacks does a CC or something to punish the person. this attack does not. another CC would maby not be the way to go because we have allot on Mace, but atleast make it faster.

Sorry for bad english

Thanx.. lets hope we get some great buffs/quality stuff soon :-)

It is a tad slow, but can also be traited to reflect and when it does hit it’s really paninful. It can hit 3-5k on a low CD.

counter blow should knock down people.

just like in the original guild wars 1.

I would be happy if they made it block for the whole channel when getting hit from range like the sword #4 without having to take the shield master trait

I agree. Counterblow is way too slow to do anything. They should speed up the attack. I love the idea of adding a knockdown or perhaps even a reveal debuff or steal boon.

Counterblow hits like a truck, it doesn’t need any other utility in it. Making it a bit faster would be nice though, it’s way too easy to avoid the damage or accidently cancel out the hit part with some other attack.
