In Blizzard's notes

What Blizzard said about Retaliation, each line checked against the files.

  • Partly

    Retaliation: No longer shares a cooldown with Recklessness and Shield Wall. Cooldown reduced to 15 minutes.

    The files Cooldown is 15 min in 70245, 30 min in Classic (spell 20230), with no category. The shared-cooldown link was server-side in Classic too, so its removal can't be read from the files.
