Guild Wars 2

In the Radiance tree of Guardian traits, the trait “Inner Fire” states: “When you are set on fire, you gain fury.”

This ability does not appear to take affect, as I have tested being set on fire using the torch weapon ability, “Zealot’s Flame”, which is described as: “Set yourself alight, periodically burning up to three nearby foes.”

The boon icon for fury never triggers, and the hero window display for critical chance never changes to reflect that Inner Fire ever took effect.

The Radiance line of traits also has “Radiant fire” which reduces the cooldown of torch abilities by 15%, this is seemingly synergetic with Inner fire and suggested they would have been used in conjunction with each other.

I have tested being set on fire by an enemy and fury does trigger. Is this working as intended and meant to be very situational or are we supposed to have some control over this ability?

I noticed this too and I was very disappointed that it didn’t interact with Zealot’s Fire in this way.

If it is not intended to work with the torch then the trait description for Inner Fire is hugely misleading and should be re worded to something like “gain fury when suffering from the burning condition”.

Has anyone gotten any indication of whether this is a bug, or if the lack of interaction between the trait skill and Zealot’s Flame is intended?
