Lord riposte

[Omegus]

Since last patch Lords from forts haber riposte, I suppose this intended, but the problem Is that SM insta die when use blurring shock.

Its a bug? Or this Is working properly

All fort lords or just the one with the keg/barrel mechanic? Skull Thumper (the mirror skill) has been killing Black Orcs when used on the dwarf fort lord since forts were introduced. Working as intended based on the interaction of mechanics.

I think lord should kill ppl not be a BIG target dumny with more than normal hp.

The real issue with Riposte is that its damage is a bit too high and it procs On-Hit effects

The fact that it scales with rage is the real culprit in my eyes. And are you sure about the procs? I don't think I've ever seen a weapon proc trigger off a riposte.

@OP and back to the actual topic

Yes this is an intentional mechanic of that fort like poison cauldron is for the empire fort for example, the damage reflect effect stops once you kill the totem/keg on the bottom floor of that fort. BO/SM instadie due to the million procs of all the people arround them proccing skull thumpa/blurring shock. Best way is to just avoid that ability in that specific fort or have someone from downstair call when they kill the totem and respect it's respawn timer so shock isnt active when the totem comes back up.

Internal cooldown on Riposte will make it entirely useless in any setting except isolated 1v1

What it needs is either a simple damage reduction, or a target-specific cooldown where it can't damage the same target more than once a second.
But even that sort of cooldown will be bad because its still a proc-based ability in a GCD-based game, which means a cooldown can cover up a GCD resulting in the real downtime being much longer.

Yea, I meant a target specific ICD, not a general one (general one would kill the tactic). 1 sec per target or something as you mentioned.
