Does Maelstrom redirect Riposte or shadow nerf to Riposte?

you didnt stun people behind you. You riposte their attack but you dont stun or inflict rend on them.

5

I mean Idk it seems fishy.

This guy was in my back and still got the damage from riposte in his face.

6

wasnt maelstrom known for other displacement bug? like wrong pillar of fire/sacred ground/ice to be wrongly placed?

might be same thing, in first vide reposte clearly hit the ground LOL

7

Yes but it always worked for like skillshots only?
Riposte is far from being a skillshot unless thats how they programmed it.

Still very weird interaction which I cant wrap my head around.

8

wasn’t there a nerf on 180?

Checked already patch notes only things I found about rapier was
1.1

Rapier

  • Fixed an issue where Tondo, Flourish, and Fleche had their cooldown begin 1 frame before the hitbox would appear. This resulted in the abilities going on cooldown if the attack was interrupted early even if it did not hit.
  • Flurry: Improved the homing of Flurry to fix an issue where subsequent attacks would frequently miss or be hard to hit.
  • Overwhelm: Fixed an issue where this upgrade was incorrectly applying stamina damage instead of just block damage.
  • Tondo: Reduced cooldown from 11s to 6s.
  • And Again: Fixed an issue that caused this upgrade to only function on blocking targets.
  • Riposte: Cooldown reduced from 20s to 12s.
  • Riposte: Base Stun duration increased from 1.5s to 2s.
  • Lasting Consequence: Stun duration increased from 2s to 2.5s
  • Passive Momentum: Increased bonus damage from 25% to 30%.
  • Passive Swiftness: Fixed an issue where this passive was granting haste from bleed damage ticks instead of actual weapon hits.

And second was 1.2 patch

Rapier

  • Tondo: Fixed a typo in the description.
  • Fleche: Updated how this ability interacts with gravity to prevent it from being used to traverse up steep inclines.
  • Heavy Attack: Slightly reduced recovery time.
  • Swiftness: Fixed an issue where the haste granted by this passive ability was applying at a shortened duration with each use.

And this is stupid xd same like u can avoid damage from scream, fireball, shockwave with riposte or u can iframe dodge musket’s bomb xd

11

The one thing that comes to my mind is that Riposte is 180 degree hit scan?
That when triggered it registers all targets in a 180 degrees angle infront and wont hit anyone else outside of the registered targets? Still doesnt explain

This one though.

12

Those guys wrote weird things even today on arena I hit guy on riposte stance from back and he stunned me xd

13

It’s true that people are misinformed about the riposte stun.

It’s also true that the stun has never been the strong part of riposte.

14

Sundering riposte begs to differ. 28% damage absorption reduction into empowered fireball for 8k critt.

But yes I get what you mean.

Sure, when you hit the stun.

16

I wish the riposte was a skillshot with guaranteed stun instead of the easiest cc in the game to dodge

17

Maybe if they got rid of the grit, invulnerability, the stamina Regen, and the CDR.

Also a "guaranteed"stun with a rend by itself is preeeeetty strong.

Saying this as someone who often uses riposte.

18

The simple answer is: New World is riddled with bugs & major performance issues and there is probably no logical explanation to these videos.

This man got the real facts

Shockwave is easier to dodge xd but yes riposte is easier to dodge after some hours in arenas now I even attack people to dodge riposte and get this extra 40% damage from my void gauntlet perk xd

21

Well rapier doesnt need a nerf or a buff it needs to be redesigned. Its more of a tool than a weapon on grace side and its damage tree requires too much setup to bother in the current meta with weapons like BB doing 10k dmg in 2s with little to no skill required.

Oh and flurry is absolutely cheeks.

That concludes rapier for me and as far as the videos go Maelstorm and GW are famous for being buggy each patch. Good its now on video.

22

I don’t think riposte has ever been a 360(could be wrong with that, but I don’t think that has ever been the case).
1st video clear miss, 2nd video clear hit, 3rd video you turned too slowly to hit him with the stun on riposte.

the blood tree doesn’t require “too much setup”. You can throw 1 tondo stack and chunk a good portion from their HP off of just a single stack. If you do have the space to apply more stacks you simply 1 shot them.
