Guild Wars 2

I think this needs to be toned down a little. or at least more balanced, perhaps doing a % of the damage you do back at you.

I am being killed by this a lot. It’s not so much on an issue if it was possible to monitor even buff on every enemy in the new group events, but it’s not.

For example I was playing FT Eng. Each tick of my flame ability wakittenting for around 170-210. This hit’s 10 times. Now that’s fine not saying it need a boost or anything but the mobs were retaliating with 317 per hit per mob.
That means I was dealing 1700-2100 to each mob and I was being hit for 3170 per mob.

Well when you do the maths in that short burst of damage I am putting out. If there’s 3 mobs with retaliation I have lost half my health.

Now I think PvP players will agree if retaliation hits 317 per hit received on a hit of 5-7k is too low, but 317 is too high for a hit of 180. add lag and before I have a chance to do anything about it I am dead.

I would like to hear if anyone is having issues.

if so Please could this be looked at.

Engi does kind of get screwed when it comes to retaliation on flamethrower and grenades. If it’s a problem, though, you always have Throw Mine for boon removal.
