Retribution not working properly

Hi there,

im having trouble with retribution. Today i tested it by simply standing still and let myself getting hit, but the enemy took zero damage from the procs. (I asume the white whirlwind-like effect is the proc?) I stood there for atleast 5 mins - nothing.
After running circles around the mob the damage SOMETIMES did apply.
I tried standing closer, i tried facing the mob… no consistency apparent. Only running circles close to the mob seemed to have an effect at all if any.

Cheers

Do you have any melee damage? Alternatively, it’s got a very small AoE.

I… dont understand your question.
Are you asking if im receiving any meleedamage? If so, yes i am. Roughly 10 Damage every few seconds.
Or are you asking if i, equip and skillwise, would be capable of doing meleedamage? If so, yes i could.

Enemy was a spider.

No, I was asking if you had any gear or passives that had any flat added melee damage on them, from memory Retribution is a melee attack so if you didn’t have any added melee damage then I wouldn’t expect it to do any damage.

Oh, interesting thought.
But like i said, sometimes the spider did receive damage, if - and only then, but not always - i was running around it.

Yeah, it’s a bit difficult to know without knowing what your passives are & what your gear is (ie, how much flat added melee damage you have, if you have 0, I wouldn’t expect to see much/any damage from Retribution).

On most things there’s a slight range to how much damage is dealt. Llama8 is correct in saying that Retribution scales with added melee physical damage and has little base damage, so it’s possible to end up in situations where it essentially does no damage. I’d recommend looking at your gear and passives, and you can post screenshots if you think something is wrong.
