I've picked up the game again recently so forgive me if this isn't a bug. I'm playing a build that has both Clockwork Knight and Rogue Scientist and have both the Clockwork Threshing and Clockwork Reflexes skill (I don't know which one or both are doing this). Apparently, one (or both?) of these can be triggered even if I don't attack. Is this working as intended? Is it just one that works this way and not the other, or is it both?
One of them triggers (Clockwork Reflexes) when you counter an attack, and the other one triggers on any of your attacks, including the ones from countering. Meaning that you can get both of them triggered even if you don't attack yourself, albeit you will have to counter a monster's attack in order for that to happen (and thus your character will actually attack even thought you weren't the one to initiate it).
