There are many ways for Druids to build up Fortify and once this happens, they can benefit from several Aspects but one of these targets their Core Skills.
Since Core Skills are important, being able to deal additional damage with them can be a big help when it comes to taking on enemies that you encounter.
This is where the Aspect of Retaliation comes in as it provides you with additional damage based on your amount of Fortify.
Aspect of Retaliation Effects (Core Skill Aspect)
With the Aspect of Retaliation, your Core Skill will deal up a certain amount of increased damage based on how much Fortify you have.
