Hello,
it appears the Phantasmal Fury trait removes the effect of the Vengeful Images trait.
Playing as a mesmer, I noticed my Vengeful Images trait (first minor trait in the Inspiration branch) didn’t give Retaliation to my phantasms as expected. The buff doesn’t appear, and attacking foes don’t take damage either.
The fact is I am also using Phantasmal Fury (Dueling branch major trait II); I removed it, and Retaliation suddenly appeared on my phantasms.
This is all I know about the issue. I hope it will help you to resolve it soon.
This issue has been dealt with, thanks.
