Guild Wars 2

Have 5 point in inspiration for Vengeful Images: Grants Retaliation to phantasms

Summon Phantasmal Defender

-Redirects half of dmg you take to Phantasm
-triggers retaliation on phantasm to enemy

I already tested this and it works

But the question is:

You have retaliation on yourself

and your phantasm also reflects retaliation.

Would this be double retaliation?

Been hard trying to test this on NPCs.

As a grenadier engineer in sPvP (typically only managing for 2-3 seconds at a time), I will respond with an immense GODJESUS YES RETALIATION STACKS

It’s most obviously exemplified in WvW when, say, grenading a group of players in front of a door who have the retaliation symbol on them. Ow 3k per attack.

Also, this applies to chaos armor / flame shield / etc. Chaos armor is a major issue against heartseeker thieves – as when they steal from me, they get Gunk, which makes a field that creates chaos armor when they leap combo through it (HEARTSEEKER), and makes my grenades give me 3 random conditions and them 3 random boons every time. It really is a complete nightmare.
