Guild Wars 2

What would really unpunish multi-hit skills like Flame Jet and the like would be a either a 0.5 or 1 second cooldown on Retaliation damage. This would make retaliation hit 2 or 4 times per flame jet instead of 10 times. It would also keep pace with the normal DPS of other classes without nerfing Retaliation.

Either way, it just seems nonsensical to have Retaliation punish multi-hit skills.

Considering that single hit skills have a big weakness from single-use blocks and blinds, there has to be something out there to punish multi hitting attacks. Our Flamethrowers go right through blinds and arcane shield.

I’m not saying it should do no damage, I just think that 21k damage from Retaliation is a little ridiculous.
