How about Riposte?

[Nadirah]

Yeah I think WoW had something similar in the concept of the Shield Spike (though this was fairly low damage). It would certainly be better as an automated attack rather than a button press.

Shield spikes were a damage reflect on block.

Hunter had an attack in vanilla that lit up when you parried(Counterattack, Survival tree). Paladin protection tree in vanilla had Holy Shield, adding 4 charges of damage dealt to attacker when blocking. Paladin also used to have Retribution Aura, which was a mild thorns effect that damaged attackers when you were hit. Druids had a similar, more powerful at first then later longer duration/smaller damage spell, Thorns. Combat rogues had Riposte, that lit up after parry.


And that was just vanilla talents. Warriors also used to have an ability called Retaliation that counterattacked *all* incoming attacks for 12 seconds.

They've since toned down a lot of these things, or removed them entirely. But they were fun while they lasted. Rogues whining and crying they killed themselves to thorns damage...
