Rebuttal potential T3 upgrade

Like other users have mentioned that it's hard to justify buying rebuttall because it doesn't upgrade into anything.

I was thinking the upgrade would give you an extra parry once you've missed the first one. So it would allow you to miss parry twice before it goes on cooldown.

I love the mindgames that goes into parry baiting and I think this would deepen the interaction even further.

Basically give charges to parry.

I thought about it too, I'd like to see it.

Only problem is that it kinda lowers the skill needed in a melee fight, so it's hard to tell if it's a good addition.

The low cost of Rebuttal is part of the opportunity cost of having it. It makes it next to impossible to consistently land melee hits on you (almost completely shutting down melee builds, of which there are several) and heavily punishing those who do attempt to melee you.

Add to that the fact that Rebuttal scales naturally, and you have an item that doesn't need an upgrade. In fact, I think that any upgrade to Rebuttal might be too strong as it would negate the primary drawback of the item being a cheap counter to a decent swath of builds.

Kind of why Infuser in the old shop setup didn't have an upgrade. Upgrades to that item would, likely, be too strong and eliminate the natural drawback that keeps the base item in check.
