Counter Strike?

What exactly does it do and how long does it last? Is it necessary to get hit in order to activate it?

If you take damage (physical, magical, AND falling damage; misses don't count) there's a 40% chance for it to activate.
If it activates, you get +15% total damage for 40(maybe 45 idk) seconds.
Once it ends, you can get it again.
I reccommend maxing 2nd, after cannon.

how's that work out for a buccaneer's build? would you put points into it before 140?

Doesn't that completely contradict the current playing style of corsairs? Avoiding damage to keep the ship alive?

contradicts the playstyle of pirates in general 9range = no touch me; melee = stay invincible). Big bang is truly a big bang. completely new playstyles for al the classes.

It's a more aggressive style that doesn't fall victim to gimmicks such as giving invincibility frame abusing in exchange for loldamage, and I'm loving it.

Corsairs take damage in ship anyways due to magic attacks, you really just try to dismount for the big stuff like 1/1 since you'd do crap damage if you dismounted for every hit. More of a bossing skill than anything.

I wouldn't mind getting a few times every 45 seconds for a 15% damage boost.

Didn't Buccs lose their invincibility frames in the Big Bang patch anyways? This skill complements their melee style perfectly then.

I did, I maxed DS then counter then i'm maxing demo. But I quit. I can do an official build if anyone really cares.

The only way is to barrage then IMMEDIATELY csb then IMMEDIATELY barrage again.

i think backspin also provides its normal invincibility rate. backspin dragon strike anyone?

I was actually talking about training in which you either freeze or KO them in few enough hits so they can't use their magic attack. I never dismount my ship for anything other then weapon cancel since I lag to much for it to be efficient. Not to mention zakum, the boss which I hunt most, has the tendency to 1/1 rapidly after each other.

You man I can still own the Dojo???? OMG OMG OMG

No, the only way for 100% invincibliity is now only Barrage spam.

Nopety nopes.

Yes.

Wrong. Barrage doesn't spam. Barrage>CSB>Barrage>CSB is the only way.

So this means we can still solo bosses by means we do now? (at least those of us that don't have demo).

-shocked-

This makes me really happy.

Before the re-balance CSB>DS>CSB>DS invincibility was not possible. As for now in GMS, it's possible. On Big Bang we'll just go back to not be able to do it. I'm used to that.

But you tell me we can CSB>Barrage>CSB>Barrage now and forever? w00t! I just really love doing that.

Just for curiosity, is CSB>Blast invincibility still possible, too? That's a Marauder's best combo. Not that I will use it much now, but just nostalgia curiosity. :O

We're able to do it now except they are removing some of the invicibility frames from CSB. Where have you been?

Also, I see little reason to not get hit when we have Counter Attack. We're not MC Hammer. We're Kenshiro/Goku/Luffy, taking it like a man and returning the favor in spades.

I guess. Barrage>DS>Barrage would be the best damage, but if you feel like godmoding for sacrificing 50k-ish damage dealt then that's your choice.

I don't quit voluntarily, but i have to for college courses, lol.

No. The invincibility frames are mainly just from barrage, csb has a lot less invincibility.

Yeah, it's definitely worth it for demo, and barrage. The +15% damage is even more for multi-hit skills. +90% for fist, +120% for demo. Added with dice #5 those %s are doubled.

It's counter attack, by the way.

Nopety nopes.

Yes.

What? Did they patch Barrage again? This is retarded.
