Studying the combat log after dying 1v1 in WvW is see often skills repeating their damage (e.g. Vault). I thought when i am alone, i can only hit once with skills like this (number of targets 5). My question: is this a bug or a feature ? I didnt find the meaning of number of targets in wiki article for AOE.

That is just the number of things that skill can hit. If you have 5 people standing next to a door the skill might hit the 5 people and ignore the door or hit the door and 4 of the people.

If it was a multi hit skill the tooltip would show a number with x next to the damage like “Damage (8x): ..” for Ghastly Claws.

the combat log does not seem so accurate as of lately. There has been two occasions in WvW roaming where I have been at either half health or slightly greater and I have been downed by some magical force. I go back and look at my log (all 1 million lines) and the last damage done prior to down-state was for maybe 2k…yet my health was around 10-12k. It makes no sense.
I know at one time things like life steal or leaching wasn’t accurately showing and I know lag has become a problem in WvW lately but the gross disproportion of what is showing does not match up.
