Following is a list of Guardian abilities but it may delve into other professions/skills.

First issue is with Virtue of Justice. The skill description says that upon activation the next hit will cause burning for 5s. In game while in the Mists(PvP zone) on using this skill you only see 4 ticks of burning damage instead of the expected 5.

Other skills that cause burning are:
Judge’s Intervention, 3s for 3 ticks of burning
Purging Flames, 5s for 5 ticks of burning
Zealot’s Fire, (see notes below)
Zealot’s Fire applies a burning effect to enemies in range of the player. It first applies 5 seconds of burning then refreshes itself for another 4 seconds of burning. Logic would say that the second application should be for another 5 seconds if it is the same skill being refreshed

The seconds and the ticks match up for the other skills.

Secondly when improving condition duration these skills start to show inconsistent values. Burning duration of 5 1/3s or 5 1/2s are seen in the tool tip but it truncates the split seconds and you do not see any burning effect for the additional fractions. Possibly this is intended?

When increasing the duration of burning the tool tips do not update the damage even though a whole second of burning was increased. What this is showing is that whole numbers are not whole numbers when calculated by the game.
