Retaliate doesn't lose all of it's rage energy on glancing or evading, which I believe is fair.
but...
Can it at least be given a 1T cooldown so it isn't spammed right after a glancing?
On the Goblin Giant fight it feels especially bad since I'm basically punished for having glanced an attack.

That seems to be a bug.
But if we're not calling it that, Retaliate could just ignore evasion for consistency's sake.

If it became evade-ignore that would be quite a big buff for it, 300 rage on a dodgie that is very likely using Ogata instead of Voidwalkers would be very opressive.
A 1T cooldown doesn't nerf it a bunch, you can use it on the next turn again. It would just mean a dodgie wouldn't get punished for glancing.
I don't think Retaliate deserves a buff. Maybe other parts of Demon Hunter, mainly Reaver, sure. But Matador is already on the strong side.

Arguably, it -should- lose all of the rage energy, even on miss or glance. Excel was changed to work that way.
