Version history

Before the rework to counterattack skills in version 3.25.0, Reckoning was a counterattack skill that would deal weapon damage in a cone-shaped area when you block with a shield.

Version	Changes

Requires Dual Wielding Melee Weapons and deals the damage of both Weapons with each hit. Existing Reckoning Skill Gems are now Swordstorm Gems. Swordstorm is now offered to the Duelist for completing Intruders in Black, and can be purchased from Yeena by the Marauder and Scion.
