Triggering riposte with cryo sheild

[A_Clever_Monocle]

Messing around on the last few levels of my dex versatility build (im at lvl 26)

Im debating between taking quick pockets and recklessness

Or

Parry and riposte

My questions are this how powerful is parry/riposte on a con 3 versatility hybrid charicter

And

Does cryo sheild trigger riposte
