Q:

So I have a small question.
If I put Chaos Armor on, will I get boons and the foe conditions when I am struck with retaliation damage?

So would this work:
I put a Feedback bubble on an enemy zerg. I start taking some retaliation damage, and I put Chaos Armor on. Will I get boons?

A:

You won’t. Retal damage are like condition damage. With 10 stack of bleeding you will never have 10 boons per seconds. That’s the same for retal.

That would be way to Op

No core profession should be balanced around an optional elite specialization.

As Dadnir says. Chaos armor requires that you are struck. Retal doesn’t strike you but rather deals direct damage straight to you.

Another question: If i get hit with (lets say) 1000 damage and I would get protection, does that come b4 or after the damage? So will I recieve 666 or 1000 damage?

damage first, then boon. it’’s still great vs zergs…all that aoe, you’re bound to throw around a few conditions and get some boons.

It’s absolutely worthless against a zerg with the ICD.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but is the icd not figured per target?

The patch notes’ wording implies a 1s ICD on boons, but 1s ICD per target per condition. No one has actually tested it though afaik.
