Jobber.6348 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Retaliatory Evasion (Retribution Master Row 2) - Gain Retaliation on Dodge. This is so weak. Even if it synergizes well with Vicious Reprisal, it's so weak considering there are better dodge traits in the game.In fact, if one doesn't even run Jalis, this is the ONLY trait which reliably gains Retaliation to be used with Viscious Reprisal, making both picks pretty useless alone and extremely mediocre together. Aggressive Agility (Devastation Adept Row 1) - Remove Immobilize on Movement skillMain issue : too situational, with no secondary benefit like Warrior's Sprint (Warrior Discipline Adept Row 2) Low usage rate : The cooldowns which have been added to most mobility skills over time causes this trait to have a very low frequency of activation, and even less use if yu do not encounter alot of Immobilizes.Costly to use, especially with Mallyx and Shiro because their Movement skills had their Energy costs increased again.Battle Scarred (Devastation Adept Row 3) - Gain 5 Stacks of Battle Scars upon using a Heal skillExtremely weak compared to the other two traits in the Adept tierCompletely overshadowed by Thrill of Combat (Devastation Master Row 3) and Dance of Death (Devastation Grandmaster Row 3) due to how both also aid in generation of Battle Scars, at a higher frequency and doesn't cost a Cooldown to use. These three traits plus Vicious Reprisal need a look at imo, because of how badly they fit into builds as well as their ineffective usage for Revenant builds.There probably are more traits but these stick out like a sore thumb because of how much I have been using Retribution and Devastation lately, and honestly the Devastation rework is a near pass, bordering a failure. Retribution also needs a rework as well because it has alot of stupid traits like : Spiritual Reckoning which forces players to toggle an Elite which Revenants generally do not use due to how they need to use their Energy for other more important utilities not to mention to fuel their Weapon skills.To add insult to injury : it also has an ICD for some reason.Planar Protection and Close Quarters directly conflicting with each other, both being Anti-Ranged Pressure traits, but both stacked in the same Adept tier. (Why ever pick Close Quarters when yu could use Planar Protection to not only block enemy projectiles but also weaken melee enemies?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clownmug.8357 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Let them rework Retribution and you'll end up with retaliation orbs or some other half-baked gimmick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want to give up near permanent -15% damage with Fireworks runes + Brutal Momentum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
