Retaliation
From Guild Wars 2 Wiki
“— In-game description
Retaliation is a boon that damages anyone who hits the affected target. Damage will not be dealt if the attack fails to hit in any way.
Damage dealt depends on the level and power of the Retaliation's source (i.e. whoever gave Retaliation to the entity being attacked). At level 80 this is:
-
198.45 + (0.075 * Power)
