Would someone explain to me what counters are and what the problem is with too many of them? |

Counters are spells that are caused by the monster beeing hit, like hitting a lightning enchanted monster makes it release charged bolts. Counters are often pretty powerful and can easily kill you if they come in large numbers. |

So when people say to use skills with low counters on act bosses it is so the boss is getting hit less which would make him do certain attacks less? |

Yes, fast attacks or attacks that hit alot of times/cast can be deadly on certain bosses (maggot queen, chimera etc). Some skills don't do enough dmg to be worth it cause of the counters and some skills are plain stupid to use on bosses (charged bolt, charged strike etc). |

Just an amsuing story... Before Shenk had his own tower, and just after he was given his FireBlast counter (it was a really high chance of being cast), I was playing with a group where the ChargedBolt sorc cast a thick sheet of CBolts at Shenk. She happened to move as the first volley of FBlast started raining down on her, but she freaked out when she realized that 10's if not 100's of blasts were coming down, leaving a pretty solid trail of blasts behind her. She ran through the party, killing 3 of them. She was perhaps the first Serial-PK by Counter. A tragic, but amusing tale. |
