A question about an item "Avenger's Earring"Follow

#1 Jan 27 2004 at 1:09 PM Rating: Decent
I have been looking at the Avenger's Earring. I forget what level (30's-40's), but it is equipable by All Jobs and has "Counterattack +1"

My question, though I feel I know the answer already, is that does this item give the player w/o Counterattack a minor Counterattack ability, or does it only affect Monks or characters with Monk subs?

I'm just hoping it gives non-MNK players a Counterattack ability, cause honestly, that would rock.

I do not see how this would be possible. You must have Counter Attack to be able to use its bonus features. If you think about range attack bonues only are valid on range weapons.

However, the differences between Ranged Attack and Counter Attack are

-Ranged Attack is a Natural Stat, whereas Counterattack is learned.
-Ranged Attack requires very specific weaponry, while Counterattack will naturally occur no matter how you are equipped

My concern is, if every player without Counterattack has, essentialy, a Counterattack value of 0, wouldn't Counterattack+1 give them a Counterattack value of 1? If so this would mean Avenger's earring would give every player equipping it a basic Counterattack measure.

What about Steal then? Equipping a +1 steal item does not net you the steal ability. Though it may be different simply because it is an active ability, and not a passive.
