Guild Wars 2

I am reporting (what I believe to be) a bug with the trait “Renewed Justice” not properly refreshing Virtue of Justice (VoJ) while engaging enemies in a group.

I have been experiencing this bug since before the latest update so it’s not something that changed recently to cause the problem.

Whenever I’ve been fighting multiple enemies, VoJ doesn’t renew when one of the enemies dies but rather when all enemies currently engaged in combat with you die. I have not had a single issue with Renewed Justice not working properly when fighting a single enemy, the enemy dies and VoJ is renewed without any issue, so from my experience it is specific only to fighting groups of enemies.

The tooltip suggests that it will renew whenever any enemy dies rather than when all of your current combat targets die.

Ignoring the one exception I mentioned above, I have yet to face enemies in a group and have renewed justice work when one of the enemies in the group dies so either its a bug with a 100% repro rate or it’s a case of a tooltip that doesn’t properly explain the function of the trait.

And to finish off, here’s a few bullet points to clarify a few potential questions that may come up:

- Guardian is currently level 62 (30 trait points in radiance, 20 in honor)

- I have not selected any major traits that modify VoJ in any way

- Size of the group has no effect on the issue, as long as there is more than one enemy, VoJ won’t refresh until all are dead.

- Whether or not you trigger VoJ before or after entering combat with the group of enemies also makes no difference, it still doesn’t refresh.

- It is not zone specific or enemy-type specific

- Having a party member engaged in combat with the same group does not make a difference either way, and the same is true for a non-party member engaged in combat with the group.

- (Not tested enough to be able to label as 100% valid) The only possible exception I could find is: If you are in combat with an enemy and another joins the fray and begins attacking you VoJ IS refreshed properly if you kill the ORIGINAL enemy first, but not if the new enemy dies first.
