Talk:Riposte

When I equip both Reckoning and Riposte Trigger Skill Gems, why don't they both always trigger when I block? In the description of the skill gem there is the difference between "block" and "block with your shield", but when do I "block" and when do I "block with my shield"? Isn't there just a global block chance which applies?

Would be grateful for further explanation of the game mechanics concerning this aspect :-)

 * and both have a Cooldown Time, that's why they don't always trigger when you block. If you put the skill on the skill bar you'll notice that it will be inactive for a while, similarly to . There's no difference to the block values, the Reckoning description specifies a shield just because the skill requires you to wear a shield, like  can't be used with Axes. --Illviljan (talk) 13:32, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
