<p>Perhaps before you roll one of the most OP classes you should atleast learn the game first. You may get spoiled.</p>

<p>Essentially, you reflect physical damage back at your enemy. </p>

<p>Riposte is a fencing term, it designates a quick attack made after parrying an opponent.</p><p>Surprisingly, it's the same thing in EQ2.  A Riposte is an opportunity to attack your opponent that can only occur after you Parry a blow.  It's all quite automatic, but that's what it is.</p>

<p>For all intents and purposes a Riposte is a "Critical Parry", after parrying you have a chance to automatically attack (for low damage), some gear has +% Chance to Riposte (which actually raises parry by the same %)</p><p>The Shadowknight's Furor ability grants an absolute 100% Chance to Parry / Riposte (parry all attacks, riposte if the target is in the auto attack arc). </p><p>Generally though, +Riposte Damage?  Not worth it, it'd only be a few dozen points per riposte and ripostes only happen if you're tanking.  Stick with the Shield abilities (Dark Knight's Protection, Phalanx), they make it harder to die afterall.</p>
