Guild Wars 2

Should retaliation stack intensity or duration?

_

I was playing the Revenant, they have a swirling hammer AoE swing utility as well as a trait that is a similar version for little tickle damage AoE that follows you. You can upkeep it as long as you have the resource.

First thing that came to mind, that skill is going to get people killed, I’ve seen engineer’s lose 1/3rd of their bar to retaliation and this AoE tickle swirl is going to be just as punishing XD

Ah just what we need, another profession that makes grenade engi useless

no worries the number of necros removing boons will help your class.

Actually, at this stage Revenant is removing necromancers. They have supporting skills, boon removal plus torment and confusion spamming. Like the thief, they rely on resource instead of recharge. Meaning that they can remove boons more effectively.

I wouldn’t fret because it’s beta, just that… Necromancers, get an identity.

Players fault..

if you are loosing too much HP to Retaliation then that’s your own fault for not backing off or debuffing the enemy if possible

I play a Zerker Ranger mostly so paying attention to when a enemy buffs with Retaliation is important for me lol
one good Rapid Fire can strip my health from full to almost nothing pretty quick if im not careful
