Shadowdancer - can Riposte trigger during Blade Turning?

[Roadkill87]

...or are they mutually exclusive?

 

I plan on running Streetfighter/Shattered Pillar using Stalker's Patience and Tuotilo's Palm shield for a healthy mix of offense and defense (Persistent Distraction, Thunderous Blows, Swift Strikes, Ripostes/BT), seems nice on paper.

 

Anyone has any info whether or not those 2 skills can be used simultaneously?

Blade Turning will not result in a melee miss on you but will redirect 100% of melee attacks to bystanders. Since there's no miss, Riposte will not get triggered. This was tested in the beta though - but I don't think it has changed.

The 2h Sword of Endless paths has a Counterattack Enchant, I figure that (and the area attacking shtick) are why they felt they had to cripple its damage.

Thx for your answers.

 

Figures, since Blade Turning actually prevents you from being hit in melee. Might as well stick to Riposte then since it's a passive and full attack, hopefully it will be buffed to be on par with PoE version.

I have a Holy Slayer setup using that blade and riposte, fun stuff. Truth be told the sword was a bit over the top, but I think they should up it's base damage to be on par with regular 2h swords if they take out the double tap on primary target.
