Guild Wars 2

It doesnt seem to work. Is it bugged or am I using it wrong?

The text makes it sound like you just target a dead player and channel it and it will revive them.

Wiki says otherwise though. It’s not bugged, the tooltip is wrong.

It helps downed players, not dead….and has a stupid long cast time to do so!

Unsure if this is related, but if you have autotargeting on, when you use Glyph of Renewal, the target will change automatically to non-friendly target (hostile or passive) that is remotely nearby.

And I’m wondering if this is causing the skill to not work properly; I’m pretty sure that disabling autoattack allowed me to revive a defeated NPC, but I’m not entirely sure, I need to do more testing.

Edit: Yeah, it doesn’t work properly with autoattack enabled if there are any valid hostile/passive targets around. It changes target to one of those, and the skill fails. If you disable autoattack or there are no other targets around, yes, it revives a defeated ally. (Even a NPC)
