Notes

Retaliation can help Archers survive, even at low power levels. The reflected damage will not consider the attacker's armor, thus it has great potential to reflect large amounts of damage to Barbarians. However, in order to use this power well, the Archer must have a lot of experience to predict incoming attacks. Mainly because the skill is lost when the character is hit by a non-damaging power like Feint.

Retaliation will reflect one tick of a Damage Over Time.

The reflected damage is not shown in the combat log. The reflected damage appears as damage in red above the attacker's head.
