Guild Wars 2

If you are downed and use ‘vengeance’ and then whilst alive for a short time, pick up a nearby Heroes elixr (pretty rare, but can still be found in quite a few areas) the buff from heroes elixr, stops you from taking any damage or getting any conditions for a short time.

If you pick one up, and press ‘1’ to consume it. You won’t die, as long as you use it close to the time that your vengeance skill would have run out (which normally results in your complete unavoidable death). This allows you to revive indefinitely (as long as you don’t get downed say.. 5 times and there are only 4 elixirs around etc).

I just did it to clear an impossible area 7 levels higher than myself. I was able to do it all 5 times, using up all the elixirs in my area.

Dunno if this is a bug, or if you are meant to be able to cheat death by using the elixir.

sometimes when you use vengeance and kill a mob/player the vengeance dissapears and you stay alive. I have not been able to reproduce this buggy feature of “vengeance” reliably though. All i can say for sure is that if you kill something while under the effect of vengeance you have a chance “vanish” the effect.

I believe this bug is due to some misworking of the “sweet revenge” trait(it workign even if not specced)

There is an associated bug about “vengeance”. If you die before “vengeance” has expired and you port quickly there is a chance you will die again after you get resurected at a waypoint.
