Counterattack is an 11-point talent in the Hunter Survival tree.

It is an often-overlooked talent, as it requires the user to be in melee range. In the beginning, Survival Hunters were designed to be melee fighters, but that has later been changed, but Counterattack has remained.

Notes[]

  • With Ability whirlwind [Deterrence] activated, you're almost guaranteed access to this ability.
