'''Riposte''' is a talent in the [[Rogue Talents#Combat|Combat]] tree that is an [[instant]] strike, dealing 150% weapon damage and slowing the target's attack speed by 20% for 30 seconds.
 
 
==Functionality==
 
Riposte is a 10-[[Energy]] attack based on weapon damage. To use this ability, you must have recently parried an attack. This ability can be used on an enemy that wasn't even parried by you.
 
 
==Talent Improvement==
 
*[[Lethality]] increases the critical strike damage bonus of your Riposte by 6%, 12%, 18%, 24%, or 30%.
 
 
==Limitations==
 
* Requires you to have recently parried an enemy's attack, which means that the enemy must be hitting you.
 
 
==Tips and Tactics==
 
* Riposte is most useful against warriors, hunters, paladins, and other rogues; slowing their weapons takes most of their bite away.
 
* You cannot create macros that automatically check for buffs or debuffs on a target and change abilities accordingly, but you can create a macro that will randomly choose between your main attack and Riposte, like so:
 
 
/startattack
 
/castrandom Sinister Strike, Riposte
 
 
* Useful in solo leveling, since it's pretty cheap (10 Energy) and lets you take advantage of the +6% parry chances.
 
* The Floating Combat Text inteface options can be set to display a message when Riposte becomes usable.
