Useless :D forever broken skill

Snakebite 2005-04-15 03:40

Huh? Is this any use, or what?
What do you mean 'broken skill'?

wolfclaw 2005-05-12 21:03

Riposte and parry are "broken". That means that they don't work at all as described in the game. You only put IP in those skills if you have a weapon that requires it. The reason that they are broken are that they proved to be far too powerful for those that put much IP in them. FunCom appearently hasn't solved the problem yet.

Moniker 2005-07-08 16:15

well, if your a pvper, you could use this to boost riposte high enough to use an angel on night without having to waste as much ip on it.

Moniker 2005-07-08 16:15

of*

happypitbull 2005-07-17 22:53

used for twinking on a higher QL Flurry of Blows

kuba 2005-07-18 02:17

who uses angel of night in pvp? thats the most useless ma-attack ever. flurry requires fast attack, not riposte

Moniker 2005-08-01 15:18

i mean upon a wave of summer, angel of night is useless.

Volkanov 2005-10-05 19:12

I'd rather it added parry than riposte.

LeoMaster 2005-10-14 21:00

Couldn't agree more, :)

Comi 2006-01-14 21:01

Useless considering ncu cost. But if you really desperate to use a higher upon a wave of summer then ...

Shojumaru 2006-01-31 19:18

.... Half-assed nano. Only possible use it might have is casting on someone else who's twinking a type 880 blade.

Yetti 2006-02-27 15:48

Or casting on Shades, rapiers also req riposte. I guess as of now, its only good for buffing. Maybe LE will change that :o)

Yakobo66 2006-06-10 16:58

ffs funcom fix these damn skills plz

Xaerro 2006-09-17 15:50

*reseting riposte skill* ... maxed it for a damn attack but now i dont need it... god...it sucks!

Jornado 2007-03-27 05:39

ya it sucks that fc nerfed riposte and parry - and so far their is no planned fix for it ever...but, anyone who remembers culties parrying in totw and completely pwning lowbies b/c of it is secretly happy :)

Hydrojen 2007-06-20 06:50

I used this til I looked at my riposte and found out I didn't even need this buff, just one point in Riposte for my UaWoS... this buff never lasted long :P

agpecko 2007-11-14 03:55

Cant say I've ever used Ripost before... whats it for exactly?

Yakobo66 2007-11-15 15:32

doesnt work anymore, only used as a weapon equip on older weps now :d (i.e non-le)

Vgman 2007-12-11 19:18

Meh i'd use it, any thing to save ip.

Vgman 2008-02-09 23:14

I rolled and got this thing stuffed some ql 200 wrists imps on with riptose and got the best "upon a wave of summer" i could get my hands on, now for ~ ten seconds nt's cant thouch me. and no ip spent.

Ran-san 2008-02-20 10:50

Really there's only one serious reason to use this regularly. Twinking a better "Upon a Wave of Summer for deroots, etc." during PvP. Shame the duration is only half that of normal skill buffs, though.

lonewolf2k7 2008-11-19 12:23

@Moniker
wave of summer IS NOt useless if the only MA spec that gives massive NR buffs for a short time is the only way we can kill agents , NT and traders and btw it gets rid of roots !!!

pyroathiest 2009-06-15 11:12

@ lonewolf2k7
Moniker never said that UAWOS is useless. He stated correctly that Angel of Night is useless. If you are going to post something as a response, at least read the original post so you don't showcase your idiocy for everyone.

Darketernal 2009-10-07 04:35

I'd prolly get it for my 220 MA if it had a decent duration and didnt have such a silly ncu cost
