Guild Wars 2

I’ve seen this a lot so I thought I’d make a thread about it.

Whenever someone goes down, people are always quick you resurrect. In general, this is a good thing but often enough, people will endanger themselves while doing so, sometimes dying in the process.

Especially when fighting low level creatures it can be far more effective to kill off mob in order to Rally someone than to rezz him manually while taking a beating. This applies to PvE as much as it applies to PvP.

On the same note, this can also come in handy when solo. Should you be fighting a group of mobs and then suddenly realize you might actually go down, it’s better to get a mob low than it is to kill it. That way you can kill it for a quick Rally once you do go down and continue fighting with 50% HP.

Yes this is one of the things I do quite often. When I see someone go down I kill the mob fast to get them. As well sometimes I play it risky xD like ESP with a swarm, I rush in an dps the hell out of them til they’re all low and saving my heals and stuff for after. So I go down throw rocks and get up almost immediately over and over xD kinda funny but it works cuz I can be invincible til the mob is cleared and don’t even need to heal and wait for cd but vets don’t work like that if ur soloing

only just found this out myself, in WvW i’d usually just use my no.3 (im ele) which turns me to mist so i can run away for a bit and hopefully hide away haha

This is why we usually focus the weakest targets when attacking dungeon mobs, allowing group members that are downed to rally as we kill off each one.
