Ah, I didn’t realize Vengeance is one of the skills you choose for surviving – thought it happened every time (button mashing ftw). Learning something new! It seems only ele and war have this type of skill. Thanks for the info!
After you survive death, you get the status effect Vengeance: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Vengeance
You’re supposed to die after it ends (same skill in GW1 had the same effect).
But as far as I know, it didn’t behave this way in the beta – or maybe you didn’t get Vengeance status before. The wiki says there’s a chance that this effect gets removed after you kill a foe, so maybe the probability of this has been adjusted.
