Guild Wars 2

Spiked Armor should also apply protection. It makes sense, I get the spiked part but no armor.

Retaliation got nerfed. This ability seems bad for a grandmaster trait.

I wouldn’t mind that, tbh, but not sure if it will be too strong or not.

Well, with retaliation getting nerfed, I don’t see why not.

Yea spiked armor is meh. I saw a ranger kill himself one time when I had it up but the cd on it is just so not worth it unless you are extremely tanky with good amount of power would be the only reason I would take it.

I use it now but it might get dropped. All i heard about the retAl nerf was light fields did they say more?

50% damage reduction more or less.

It also should be like:

“When the warrior takes 10% of his health in damage” instead of criticals, so it works better in PVE. Mobs never seem to critical.

Compared to guardian access to retal its pretty meh for grandmaster talent as it is. I ran it for a while and tried to make it work.

Me too, it just doesn’t live up to its name, its not even as good as most classes minor / major traits.

lol I’ve said that so many times

“tried to make it work”

If you had lyssa runes you would have access to more retal and maybe with boon duration a bit longer, but still meh

I can tell you I’m almost positive this will be completely overlooked. No buffs, no changes, just a straight up NERF on that trait itself making it 100% worthless.

Don’t think they said anything about nerfing retaliation damage. They said confusion was getting reduced damage. They said retaliation would have an obvious pop-up so you know you’re getting hit by it. Whether it’s getting reduced or not is unclear since they specifically mentioned “nerfing confusion and retal” but they only commented on confusion’s damage.

You’re not alone. 1 out of every 5 men suffer from Erectile Dysfunction.

You must increase that percentage for guys that play gw2.

I want to send you a picture so bad right now

This is my impression as well.. They probably forgot Spiked Armor exists.

That’s how I heard it too but we will see. If they don’t change the trait but nerf the damage….you know what given their track record that is what is likely to happen lol.

“Christos de Soufre.3802:
How is Retaliation being nerfed, exactly?
Apparently it will do the same damage it does in spvp in wvw now. So 2xx damage instead of 3xx damage.”

Gain protection and retaliation (5s) when you take more than 10% of your health in a single strike. This effect can only trigger every 15 seconds. (This will help immensely in PvE, especially against chain knock-down mobs…)

Retaliation does the same damage in PvP as it does in PvE.

Someone can’t take a joke. Lil too close to home?

This talent is mainly for PvP, and i don’t want see retaliation on me only when someone manage to put >3k damage on me in single strike through 3200 armor.
