Guardian - Known Issues 2013

Here I’m continuing the brilliant work of Apraxas and other contributors who dedicated many hours for testing.

If you have discovered a new bug please make sure you post it to the Official Bugs Forum first and foremost.

I will not be listing bugs which I think can be used to exploit unfair advantages in PvP settings. (Although I do forward those directly to Anet)

Next to each entry you’ll see a link which you can right-click and copy for a direct link to that specific issue (incase you want to post a reference to it in another thread).

Traits

Zeal

  • XI
    Wrathful Spirits
    50% Damage Increase is not reflected in the Spirit Weapon’s tooltip

Radiance

  • Master
    Renewed Justice
    Several users report that it may fail to renew itself upon dealing the finishing blow on a foe. This appears to only apply to enemies that do not award XP.
  • XI
    Right-Hand Strength
    The 15% extra crit while using a 1 hander weapon is not reflected on the character panel. The trait only affects the mainhand weapon and not your offand, and that could be the reason it’s not reflected on your stats.
  • XII
    Perfect Inscriptions
    Signet of Resolve does not update it’s description when traited. Nor does it cleanse 2 conditions every 10 seconds. Instead it appears to reduce the cleanse time by 20% ( so 1 cleanse every 8 seconds ).

Valor

  • Master
    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.
  • XII
    Monk’s Focus
    On using Merciful Intervention with Monk’s Focus traited, the caster will receive an double proc of the MI healing effect provided the player successfully teleports to an Ally ( this equates to 5880 of base healing ).
    With no Ally in range, the caster receives the expected effect of 3920 base healing ( from 1xMerciful Intervention Heal and 1xMonk’s Focus Heal )

Virtues

  • III
    Consecrated Ground
    Trait will reset the cooldown on consecrations when selected, meaning that you could cast a sanctuary, open the trait menu, select Consecrated ground and cast another sanctuary immediately. Basically there are 2 versions of the same skill, 1 ground targeted and one on the guardian, and the trait swaps the skills on your bar, each with its own individual cooldown.
  • VI
    Master of Consecrations
    Sanctuary will display skill duration info twice in the tooltip. ( But not if Consecrated Ground is also traited )
  • VIII
    Supreme Justice
    Neither the burn duration increase nor the reduced count to proc is reflected in the tooltip for Virtue of Justice skill and boon icon
  • X
    Indomitable Courage
    Virtue of Courage’s skill and boon icon tooltip do not reflected the reduced passive recharge

This list is awesome. I appreciate all of the effort you folks have put into the reporting and tracking of Guardian issues.

Make sure to report all bugs to the Game Bugs forum! I’m much more inclined to see them if you bring them into my domain.

Cheers!
