People, why do you complain?

Lets do some math: (well, I do not pretend to be exact
I just show some points).

lets admit that a badass rager delivers DB on X% of his hits
so this badass rager executes many attacks and X% of them DB
and only N of them go through your defenses (parry/dodge/etc)
and some of this N attacks are DB as well
hmm, you may wonder, but this is the same X%.
So doesn't matter how many attacks you parry/dodge
you just get some hits on you and X% of them are DB

The SAME thing is with riposte.
You get N ripostes and X% of them are DB.( I *just* think so ).

You may just count riposte as an attack
that penetrates your defenses.
Various specs have their features
swords specs have some additional attacks
that aren't stopable (and it is ok, if you remember
that usually you parry/dodge ordinary swords attacks better
than let's say axes)
So I don't see what is wrong with DB ripostes
(unless you think that DBs are wrong at all - so you're dumb :)
