as mentioned above.
if someone has time could you list some or all of the skills that cause none or low counters.

I guess any skill that causes high damage infrequently is a "Low Counter" skill.
Vengeance
Charge
Berzerk
LeapAttack
Thunderstorm
Meteor
PoisNova
CorpseExplosion
IronGolem?
GrislyBear?

No Counter skills (note that Lightning Enchanted monsters spawn CBolts whenever they take non-poison damage). Note that these skills don't re-trigger a boss's healing timer.
Inferno
Blaze
FWall (note that this skill is quite weak)
All Poison Skills with cloud-effects (PStrike, PoisJav, PlaugeJav, Rabies ...)
MindBlast
PHammer
ArcticBlast
Firestorm

just to be clear - the cloud aspect doesn't trigger boss reheal timer, but the strike does. In other words, if I stab a boss an infect him with rabies, the timer is triggered, but if I stab someone *next* to the boss and that person then infects the boss the timer is NOT triggered.

Similar story with the other poison skills listed, actually hitting the boss with a weapon will trigger it, but not the weaponless transmission.

Even though I think Brevan implied that, I wanted to be sure it was clear as I could envision some people being confused.

thx.

reason i asked is the counters have increased some what in this patch to the point where only bare minimum players can attack usually just 1 player "the tank" because of fear of killing everyone with counters. i have been in some games where people were asking for certain skills as its supposed to cause low triggers.

im no where near as clued up with game mechanics as alot of you guys i just come to play the game end of story!!!!

thx for the help
nebs

I think firestorm is another counter-less skill you forgot and should be added to that list.
