%racial damage with retal?

I looked but could not find a clear answer anywhere: does %damage to [race] affect retal damage? Such as on the Sanctified Bone. Thanks.

I’m sure it works for RATA but not sure about basic (monsters killing themselves by just hitting) you retaliation, since I never played such build.

Hmm, ok, well that is something at least. Ty. Can anyone confirm/know if it affects base retal damage as well?

Also I realized this should be in Gameplay Discussion since it’s a mechanics question, wups.

Edit: cheers Medea.

This is the case

What is the case? Will it apply to basic retal damage or nah?

Wait i thought ford said it doesn’t affect normal retal lmao my bad.

RATA gets racial while normal retal doesn’t.

Awesome, tyvm.

Overall, RATA scales with OA/DA, crit damage, racial, and skill specific lifesteal (i.e. DE). It doesn’t benefit from global lifesteal and the “total damage modified” stat (there’s a separate “total retal damage modified” stat).

None of the things stated above affect normal retal except total retal damage mod.

Cool, that confirms what I knew/suspected about retal from searching in past threads. The racial question was the one big thing I was still wondering about.

Looks like my Sanctified Bone will be staying on in this build. Cheers.
