Title. This will make ripost a more valid option and allow it to be used with slower weapons.

Wait, doesn’t WHC already have a “no block cost on frontal blows” as a passive?

Only on ‘light attacks’.

Which doesn’t even include running attacks, I believe. Basically only the standard attacks of trash mobs and the fast strikes of Berserkers, I think. Still quite a useful skill to have, mind.

I heard somewhere that it negated the stamina cost of any attack that costs less than 1 shield to block, or something.

Is that before block cost reduction, or could you stack block cost reduction and parry heavier attacks that way too? Must admit I never really paid much attention to the stamina cost of my blocks as I played WHC. Rapier mobility and his dodge talent make evasion a more attracting option often.

Not sure, I’m not even sure the 1 shield thing is true. Could very well be that some attacks are marked as light and some aren’t.

Could be tested somehow, though.

Any light attack actually, a regular axe swing from even a CW gets parried at no cost on WHC.
