It used to do swiftness and retaliation, now it does swiftness with one charge of aegis. I noticed the difference tonight when I got on my guardian.

I’ll look though patch notes to see if I can find the source. Was this just an Oct. 1st patch decision?

More info to come…

Retreat never had retaliation. It’s always been Aegis.

Only thing I can think of is if you use Wrathful Spirit trait.

Retreat granted swiftness and Aegis for as long I could remember. It would make sense that it gave Aegis, not retaliation but I think you may have been thinking of another utility.

I don’t know for how long are you playing guardian but it’s kinda funny that you never noticed (or even read) that “Retreat!” gives aegis and not retaliation.
However, retaliation is given by “Stand Your Ground”, maybe you always use both shouts together XD.

As Harbinger says, it sounds like you’ve been running Wrathful Spirit.

Other than that, 15 points in Virtues gives Virtue of Retribution which will grant Retal whenever you use a Virtue ( so Virtue of Courage will give Protection, Aegis and Retal to 5 allies in range )

Are you sure that Virtue of Retribution gives retal to allies? I tested some times and it didn’t.

Sorry for my english.

You are quite right, retal is just for yourself. I was thinking of the Protection boon from Virtues 5 which is applied to your team ( along with Aegis ofc )

Oh, it’s only to yourself? That’s pretty tacky.

For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards,
for there you have been and there you will long to return.

Like everyone above is saying, it never gave retal. I have played since beta. Guardians are not lacking for Retal anyway. You can get basically perma retal without even gearing for boon duration.
