The Jop: Assume best intent, Jop! [;)] Mostly force of habit, though. The odds are very much against me to begin with since I lost our initial match 2-0 and now have to win two straight matches against the same person. Either way I'm glad I could get back in the final and will do all I can now that I'm here. At least I can draw on your victory from the same position last tournament for inspiration.
ChaosRipjaw: Yeah, the Counter Attack is really nice for when you're up against Iron Hide and need to do something with your energy without wasting charges by attacking. The pair of Catlikes are also not bad in Neutral fights, especially later on for piling on DoT damage to bypass stacked Counters (although Corruption is better it costs valuable CC slots that lower your chances of drawing the all-important Neutralize and Iron Hides). DoT's can also be used on Iron Hide's second turn to bypass it where instant physical attacks wouldn't, though a second Iron Hide can cause that to backfire so you have to keep that in mind.
I never minded Sacrifice or Empower on Dire Monk but when you're taking damage from Sacrifice and Counter at the same time it can hurt a lot, and physical attacks in general become pretty futile once the Counters get stacked up.
