Guild Wars 2

wrathful spirit is worded like this: Aegis gives retaliation when it ends.

how is “ends” defined exactly?

after aegis triggers, accepts the block, and fades?

aegis duration ends?

my opponent dispels aegis?

the aegis eating monster pop up out of the depths and eats me?

all the above?

please help, thanx in advance.

My suggestion is to cast Retreat or Courage active and see what happens when the aegis from it naturally expires. Other than that my initial instinct is that it applies the buff when aegis either absorbs an attack or expires naturally. On another note, I’m not sure its possible to actually dispel aegis since it’d probably Block whatever attack has the ripping effect.

Well they fixed Arcane Thievery in the 10/22 patch, but I don’t know about the others

Arcane Thievery This skill now appropriately removes the aegis boon rather than being blocked by it.

I was wondering about this. Because otherwise how would Pure of Heart work?

Pure of Heart: Aegis heals on removal.

key word being “removal”

OK, sorry for the double post but I tested it.

Wrathful spirit grants the guardian retaliation when aegis is consumed through a block AND when it expires from un-use.

this also works with Might of the Protector.

Might of the Protector: Gain might when you block attacks.

So with both you get 2 boons when Aegis is consumed or not used, but NOT if its removed.
