    Counterstance, Sneak Attack, and Trick Attack

    Not sure if it's already here but... from the little testing I've done sneak attack and Trick attack work on counters but don't consume the buff. Well not sure if it put hate on the target in front of me but geared/atma'd up I get consistent 1K+ counters which is about the same as my normal hits. SA was with bully of course

    Been known for quite a while, at least for TA.

    Ah I didn't. Does it still transfer hate from that hit?

    IIRC, no, though I haven't tested it myself.

    If it doesn't that might be pretty cool. Perma enhanced dmg and forced crit if you just have some random guy in front of you.

    (I think it actually *does* transfer hate, just counters give no hate or something, not sure.)

    Anyway, you have to avoid swinging yourself, yet be engaged, so you need a target behind yours, and you need to keep having hate, so no one else can be damaging it.

    Also, you need to have a high counter rate, which means /mnk and counterstance. Really, it seems of strictly limited use.

    A pain setup to be sure but hey if you can average 1.5k each hit countering almost everything might be interesting. Part of what appeals to me is the fact you can do all kinds of stuff with your idling set now since haste doesn't matter. Think I'm going to play with it for now
