Counter

[Neosutra]

Just a few questions here about monk's counter.

Has anyone tested the exact % this job trait gives?

How much with counterstance active?

With Relic Feet?

Thanx.

[Ryko]

No I can't really think of any number crunching monks that would have done such a tedious thing, you're out of luck.

Has anyone tested the exact % this job trait gives?

10%

How much with counterstance active?

50%

With Relic Feet?

60%

This assumes ideal conditions where your accuracy is high vs. the target.

Thought it was 15/45/60?

[Appie]

Thought it was more like:
15% base
45% stance
5% merits
10% relic feet

Hence my question here, I have seen/heard a dozen different posts that vary between each other. Was just trying to determine if the Total DoT your recieve from a normal IT mob would balance out with the 50-60% damage reduction from counterstance (i.e. your taking X amount more damage per hit, but reflecting 50% back at them). So if your damage taken increases 2 fold, then it balances out.

But this is fairly hard to dertermine if its really based on accuracy/mob lvl/etc.

But this is fairly hard to dertermine if its really based on accuracy/mob lvl/etc.

And that's why you hear conflicting reports as to exact percentages.

You can say 10-15% normal, 45-50% with CStance, and an additional 10% give or take with Melee Gaiters, and no one will call you wrong for it, but it also won't help you nail down your predictions either.

Has it been proven one way or the other if Counterstance just effects the base 10~15% Counter, or does it effect gear and merits as well?
