Guild Wars 2

When you are downed and use Vengeance, after killing an enemy that went stealth you do not fully rally and die anyway at the end of its duration.

Happened to me today when fighting those f***** frogs. I got downed and couldn’t reach the enemy with a stone. Even though it had close to no hp left I was forced to go with Vengeance to finish it off. Unfortunately it died while stealthed and even though I got the experience Vengeance didn’t end, thus killing me.

Did you have Vengeful Return traited? Without this, you only have a 20% chance to rally (Stay alive once the duration ends) from a Kill while using Vengeance.

Taken from the Vengeance wiki page;
Some things you can rally off of in the downed state cannot be rallied off of during Vengeance (ex. weak spawned minions, turrets, target-able environmental objects)

Oh, this explains it then, I was totally not aware there is only 25% (seems to be 25% according to wiki) to rally when you kill something. I guess in that case it is working as intended.

BTW. What an (lol @ anet’s swearword filter here) useless skill. 25% = in theory you might never rally using it.
