Just a small thing I just thought of, I wonder; Is it possible to parry a riposite?

I mean, you attack a chitrach, the critter riposites your attack, and you parry that ripostie.

The next question of course being (though not useful) is it possible to ripostie a ripostie?

No. You can't parry a riposte. Sorry. :(

I don't think it's possible to riposte a riposte either... and anyway, the damage done by a riposte is so pitiful that it's basically a wash either way.

Unless, of course, you have a hasted, blessed uber-warrior who strikes an enemy three times, only to have it riposte all three times. It adds up suprisingly fast.

Against enemies that likely to parry and riposte, namely chitrachs, your über-warriors should be packing bows anyway.

—Alorael, who wonders if early testing of Riposte showed that endless riposte loops are no fun at all.

Just imagine if the boards could react to your posts with ripostes.

That would be a great 'bot idea... anytime someone responds negatively to one of my posts, I could get a 'bot to flame 'em.

Or you could feel a bit silly that after 7000 posts and a karma score coming out of your ears, you miss with that 1% guaranteed fail chance that seems to follow us all around :(
