— In-game description
Mechanics[edit]
- This skill will affect the source of the attack that was blocked unless the option "Allow Skill Retargeting" is enabled (in Options#Combat/Movement) in which case it will instead affect your current target if they are hostile.
- The skill can be cast again before the block timer has finished to end the block and cast Counterspell.
