AFAIK the only talent that allows auto-melee counter attack after use is Swordsman's Sharp Counter (use the talent and then if attacked from position 1 or 2 with the attacker moving you counter attack without using an action, this also uses Balanced Blade talent as the counter attack if the talent is known). I am seeing the same counter attack (including using Balanced Blade) using Wing Commando's Whirling Blade.
My build
Wing Commando 8/Pirate 6/Swordsman 11 currently
Known talents:
Wing Commando: Whirling Blade, Breakneck Assault, Boarder's Assault
Pirate: none yet
Swordsman: Bravery Line, Sharp Counter, Balanced Blade, Strength of Steel, Devastating Charge, Flash Fury
I begin every CC with a Whirling Blade to get the buffs, also the only On Init my team knows is Bravery Line so it always procs. If the enemy Position 1 or Position 2 attacks this Swordsman afterwards but before I can use another attack (generally Sharp Counter comes next) it responds as if I had used Sharp Counter (without the Sharp Counter buff showing above the Swordsman and without using Sharp Counter in this combat yet) meaning Balanced Blade is used as a counter attack.
Is this intended? Sharp Counter's text is not clear in how it allows counter-attacks and so I am thinking this might be the case here. If not and counter-attacks should be limited to Sharp Counter, we have a bug.
