riposte?

[Yliax]

<p>Why was riposte taken out of the str line?  We have two lines that improve our deflection now.</p>

<p>STR line gives deflection chance, the other line gives deflection skills points. Str line deflection is better and uncontested(?)</p>

<p>I was wondering because we get a +% riposte dmg mod with TSO AA's but nothing that improves our chance.  I noticed that it seems they granted the increased dmg without weapons as an innate ability for monks and I wasn't sure if they increased our chance to riposte as well.  If anyone knows please tell me. </p><p>I'm nost sure if putting points into the increased riposte dmg is really worth it.  Especially since I don't often tank and it would only really be for soloing.  Honestly making us better tanks via TSO AA's might have been a good idea if I was able to take a hit at all and avoidance doesn't really work well against higher end mobs.  They really need to beef up our defensive stance's mit with the harder hitting mobs they keep putting out.  Especially with so few choices in Armor.  That and remove the root affect of Body like mountain and Iron stance.  Perhaps after maxing the monk AA's for them.</p>
