Boosting Reflected Damage

Grim Dawn General Discussion
1

I have a quick question. Can I increase the amount of damage reflected by getting +retaliation damage devotions? I understand that retaliation damage and reflected damage are 2 different things, but damage reflected is under the retaliation damage section of the 3rd character tab, so I’m lead to believe that reflected damage is considered retaliation damage. However, when I have +50% retaliation damage, and I proc shield wall, my reflected damage stays at the shield wall tooltip amount. Any idea if +retaliation damage increases the actual reflected damage amount instead of the % reflected, or if reflected damage just plain gets no benefit from + retaliation damage?

Thanks in advance for the response.

Reflect does not get bonuses from gear and devotions that have % to retaliation. 2 different types of damage.

Reflection and Retaliation are two different stats, they are not related.

Nonetheless, the damage from reflection and retaliation CAN be enhanced through debuffs. Similar to how you can avoid one shotting yourself by stacking a resist of the damage type you deal.
