Tidal Wrath

Is this skill worth it?

Been trying to use it, but the timing of the counter seems weird.

I don't mind it, but will usually replace it with something else.

In saying that, it's a must for my warrior pawn. The AI uses it quite effectively.

The timing is really tight with start up delay, like dark soul parry.
So unless you are into that, you are better off with other skill.

Yeah, thats whats bothering me, that delay at the start.

It's more useful as an extended block than a counterattack. If you're taking rapid blows from something(s), and you miss the counterattack timing, you'll instead block every blow from the front until you stop taking blows for a second or so. And it doesn't cost additional Stamina per block.

I'm sure you could master the counterattack timing, but it's awkward and leaves you open to being attacked for a second or so after it goes off. The damage is good enough if you want to go that route, though. Even if the charged attacks will do more damage, Tidal Wrath is still perfectly usable if you prefer that sort of playstyle.
