I would have preferred keeping the might (but making it longer than 1s in competitive), but another source of adrenaline would be fine. Being able to turn counterblow and riposte into reflects increases their usefulness immensely. Counterblow, for example, only blocks a single ranged attack when you don't take shield master, but will block/reflect projectiles for the entire duration of the skill if you do take shield master. Currently, those skills really only see use on condi mace zerker, but if those weapons were reworked (e.g., change counterblow and riposte to be full blocks with flipover skills) they would open the door for various new builds--which would benefit from having access to lots of reflects offered by shield master. Also, I believe shield master actually DOES turn aegis into a reflect (it is a full block, not just a projectile block), but it does not affect skills that only block/destroy projectiles. It makes aegis reflect. It is a block after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Counterblow does not; it only blocks one attack, whether ranged or melee, without the trait. It's weird and idk why it works with one and not the other but I'm pretty sure that's the case. Edit: just double checked: counter blow only blocks one ranged attack w/o trait Edited October 2, 2022 by CalmTheStorm.2364 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
