I’ve had this nagging feeling that the revive function on the warrior’s elite Battle Standard is not working as intended. If you read the tooltip, it states that it “revives fallen allies”. But so far the way it actually works is it only “rallies” downed allies.
It seems there’s a similar issue with the Guardian’s Signet of Mercy ability which also states that it “revives a nearby ally” but only works on downed allies. Since the Guardian’s ability had a similar issue I thought it was just poorly worded and thought no more about it.
But I’ve since heard that Elementalist actually has a skill that can actually revive up to 3 fallen allies (not downed state, but actually dead). So I looked up the Elementalist ability called Glyph of Renewal with the Earth attunement states: “Revive three allies”.
When I tested this with a friend, this skill actually does revive allies that are dead. This leads me to believe that the warrior’s elite skill Battle Standard is bugged. Either that or the tooltip is wrong.
Anyone have any thoughts on this? Would love for Anet to clarify this.
