Riposte

Rogue · Combat · Row 3 of 7 · Single rank
Active ability Requires Deflection

Riposte sits in row 3 of the Rogue Combat tree. A talent tree is simply the grid of talents for one class role, and you will need Deflection maxed first. It costs just one point. So the only question is whether opening its row fits your build.

10 Energy | Melee Range | Instant | 6 sec cooldown

What Riposte does at each rank

A rank is one level of a talent. Every rank makes the effect a bit stronger. The list below uses the exact wording from the beta client, word for word.

Rank 1: A strike that becomes active after parrying an opponent's attack. This attack deals 150% weapon damage and disarms the target for 6 sec.

How to reach Riposte

Row 3 opens after you spend 10 points in the earlier Combat rows. Level 20 is the earliest you can pick up Riposte, and you will need Deflection maxed first.

Is Riposte worth the points?

One point gives you the full effect. The real cost is opening row 3. That is 10 points in the rows above, so take it when the talent suits your build.
