Radiant retort doesnt work
Hello. Discover a pesky bug! In battle inside Lorroakan's Tower with Dame Aylin and her ally, if use dark justiciar armor with radiant retort trait the tons of radiant damage from div ally not reflecting back to them as force damage, as it mentioned in armor description...so tactic involving halfangels in desperate fair (=)) brawl is futile. What is that for? its a bug or game design idea force player to concoct more weird game playing or search abuse?

No player armor in the game grants you Radiant Retort. This is NPC only trait. What are you talking about?

Radiant Retort is how a lot of the Dark Justiciars damage YOU with retaliatory damage if you are playing the Shar Gauntlet on Tactician or higher. They reflect some of the radiant damage you do to them as force damage back on the caster/attacker.

It is annoying as crap, frankly. You take TWICE the force damage you inflict on them with radiant damage. (I think it would be far more acceptable if it was half, or even the same amount. But you get that damage back doubled.)

Sounds like you're using a mod for Dark Justicar armor. Go complain the the mod author as this is not a problem with the game.

I mean, there is the Imp in Act 3 that does 3x the damage you dealt to him as retaliatory Acid damage.

There is a Legendary Dark Justiciar Armor set on mod.io ... but, it doesn't confer Radiant Retort ability on the wearer, so I'm not sure what's being referred to, here.

Also, I'm not sure how useful Radiant Retort would be for the player -- as there are so few enemies that attack YOU with radiant damage. (OK, some enemy paladins will smite you from time to time, so there's that.)

I am pretty positive there is armor that gives the player Radiant Retort, positive I seen it on Nexus but I cannot for the life of me remember what it would be under. A search of Radiant Retort pulls up two mods that change how it works in game. I've found various mods that add Dark Justicar as a Class with Subclasses, weapon updates to the Spear of Shar, armor pieces that add a lot of passives but nothing with Radiant Retort.
