This thread intends to list bugged guardian skills/traits in the hope to get them fixed.
Pending bugs :
- Writ of the merciful => Not working at all (no heal on symbol of swiftness)
- Vengeful (+25% retaliation) => Not working at all (no retaliation increase)
- Strength in Number => Not working at all, nearby allies doesn’t get +30 toughness
- Symbol of Swiftness => In some occasion going into it will not give swiftness.
- Elite Focus => does not extend elite durations (someone else can confirm ?).
- Might of the Protector => seems to be active without picking up the trait (someone else can confirm ?).
- Battle Presence => If you have points in Virtues, it increases the duration of the Boon; But Battle Presence is a non stacking boon, so it pops immune, then the buff lapses. In effect it skips every other tic of the buff leading to a 50-66% loss in effectiveness.

Fixed :
- Shield of Absorption => In many cases and especially in PVE detonate is not working
Please help to complete the list and tell me if you notice one of these bugs has been fixed.
Detonate does not work in PvE at all. In sPvP you have to use Shield of Absorption twice to continue the last 20s of Detonate’s cooldown. It does not reset after a full 60 seconds on its own.
Whirling Wrath: Projectiles do not do damage. I have been watching this ability for a long time, and I have never seen damage numbers on anyone outside of melee range, despite the animation tossing projectiles out all over the place.

If I recall correctly it only hits 3 targets at a time (as most melee AoEs have been reduced to 3 targets for WvW balance purposes), if there are 3 targets in melee range, it will start with them first. So even though you’re seeing projectiles fly out in the distance, if you’re already hitting 3 targets, its just an animation issue.
Also, because of the nature of the skill, it won’t always hit the same 3 targets if they start changing positions on you. So even though you may see more than 3 targets with numbers over their heads, you’re never hitting more than 3 at once.
This is definitely the case with chain skills and Hundred Blades. I’m assuming Whirling Wrath works this way as well.
I also have noticed issues with detonating Shield of Absorption. Haven’t played it in PvP yet, but it certainly has never worked for me in the PvE setting. Its a very important skill in the shield skill line and half of it doesn’t work…
Battle Presence -
If you have points in Virtues, it increases the duration of the Boon; But Battle Presence is a non stacking boon, so it pops immune, then the buff lapses. In effect it skips every other tic of the buff leading to a 50-66% loss in effectiveness.
also Ward skills are misleading, since players can roll through them.
On the wiki it says you can jump over them. I don’t know that this is the case anymore.
It probably just comes down to an oversight on Anet’s part with regard to their own combat system giving 100% evade to dodge rolls.
Hell they USED to have traps be unavoidable by dodge rolls. I guess they found out that if you don’t know where a trap is because you didn’t build the level, its too hard to not be able to roll out of the trap :p
Strength in Number is not working. I tested it with friends in and outside a party, solo and in dungeons.
Neither myself nor any nearby allies get +30 toughness.
While we appreciate the reports, we’re frequently sending thread links to specific people who may not be able to address the other bugs you’re reporting, which makes lists of bugs less helpful. Please make a specific thread for each bug you find so that we can make sure it gets to the appropriate party.
I’m going to lock this thread, but we appreciate the help finding bugs, so please keep reporting them! Thanks!
