I could be wrong about what happened here, but it seems very strange:



Either something else caused the counter to have extremely high damage, or Trick Attack proc'd on the counter and the hit after it.

Any ideas?

You countered a normal attack, which did not use up Trick Attack, then Trick Attack actually proc'd on the next hit after.....is my guess. Just that counter was a nice crit XD

You get the bonus damage of trick attack, but trick attack doesn't get used up and subsequently, no hate is transferred.

You could just have a character stand in front of you while you face something that's doing 100 fists (chloris, for example) and you can target something to the side and just have your weapons out so you counter.

You'll just see like super damage counters all the way through. It's pretty cool, but not very practical.

Only way I can see it working for SA is if you're behind a mob and countering attacks that the mob makes without actually facing you. Like how shadow dragons don't have to turn to face you, they just attack you with their tail.
