It currently says: “Reflect incoming damage back to its source; stacks duration.”

Retaliation does not reflect or mitigate damage in any way.

It should say: “Enemies take damage when they damage you; stacks duration.”

The tooltip doesn’t say that it mitigates any damage. It says that it reflects it, and that’s exactly what it does.

Reflecting implies, you know, reflecting. Meaning the damage bounces off you back at the enemy. In every instance “reflect” is used to imply you take less or no damage and it goes back to it’s source. This is the only game that doesn’t.

I agree Retaliation needs a clearer tooltip description. As is now, it’s quite misleading.

I agree. I was confused about retaliation when I first used it as well just as OP describes.
