Counter

Counter specialization is a school of combat that focuses on nullifying attacks and retaliating with a counterattack. Counter is compatible with all forms of combat (melee, ranged, and magic), and is a popular and effective specialization for players who engage in PvP. The specialization, like Dodge and Guard, provide the user various stances to employ, which can augment one's counterattack with various effects, such as stuns, silences, or knockbacks. It is not an effective substitute specialization for Guard specialization for tanks, however some tanks have been known to used the specialization.
