Guild Wars 2

I hope it’s not a bug. :-) However is it possible to link retaliation totem to his “retaliation skill” he is using during the fight?

In other words if the group destroy this totem he stops using 360 degrees retaliation which hits like a truck.

For being able recognize what skill I mean, please check attached screenshot.

Retaliation is a boon he has on himself at all times, but it should drop when the retaliation totem is down. So far as I know, it’s completely passive, there is no skill connected with it that he would stop using.

EDIT: Oh wait, you mean when he uses the Whirling Defense skill. That’s not retaliation, it’s reflection, he’s hitting you with your own ranged attacks while using that skill. I don’t think making him not use that skill would make a big difference, it’s really just opens a good opportunity to drop another totem.
