Please post here all the bugs you have found with guardian skills/traits/functionality so we get some of the Anet love for guardians. I will keep this post updated as more information becomes available. DO NOT POST SUGGESTIONS.
Special thanks to They are hashes.4523 for the formatting ideas.


_Virtues ______________________________________________

  • Virtue recharge rates from the Virtues line is not reflected in a Virtue’s tooltip. It works, but you won’t see the change if you mouse-over a Virtue.
  • Virtue of Justice
    Burn duration only lasts for 4 seconds for 4 tics of damage instead of 5 as indicated in the tooltip.

_Traits ______________________________________________

  • Monk’s Focus
    It won’t activate if you use a merciful intervention and it didn’t teleport you to an ally. It does activate if you successfully teleport to an ally.
  • Courageous Return
    Only recharges Virtue of Courage when you rally killing an enemy while downed, it will not reset the cooldown if you rally via healing from other players.
  • Perfect Inscriptions
    • Displays a different behavior in the Mists than in PvE area, explanation here.
    • Makes the passive effects of signets disappear from the tooltips on the skills.
  • Vengeful
    Tooltip doesn’t reflect retaliation increase.
  • Renewed Justice
    Several users report that it may fail to renew itself upon dealing the finishing blow on a foe.
  • Right-Hand Strenght
    The 15% extra crit while using a 1 hander weapon is not reflected on the character panel. Currently unknown if it is actually working or not since it may only affect the mainhand and not your offand, and that could be the reason its not reflected on your stats.

_Greatsword ______________________________________________

_Trident ______________________________________________

  • Refraction
    Cast time is supposed to be 1.25 seconds. It roots you and makes you unable to move or cast spells for another 1.5 seconds AFTER the spell has been finished.

Thanks again. Like I told Necro players this is very helpful. There are 600 traits and about 800 skills, some are bound to break. We will look at this stuff ASAP. Reminder, fixes take a few days, then we need to test them for a week or so.
