Guild Wars 2

Once a player gets level 40, he gets his -50% damage reduction from falling trait. (+class specific abilities.)

Its honestly a worthless trait to most everyone and they only turn it on for specific events, it should be auto-granted at level 40.

Elementalist could get -50% Falling Damage and 4 seconds of “Mist Form”.

Necros get it at 20…if I remember correctly

still not something you want to use even at lvl 20. Why would you want to take less dmg when falling, when you dont suffer a durability loss when dieing from fall. Even if you would take dmg this is so occasional that its not worth wasting a trait spot.

If you give it to everyone at some arbitrary level you might as well just ask for them to reduce falling damage by half in general.

I use it all the time for jumping puzzles, vista’s, and running over rough terrain if I need to get somewhere fast. It’s not because of durability that peeps are using it, it’s the time it takes to get back there from a waypoint. We all know Orr has a lot of contested waypoints.

I mean, it should just be given to all of us at level 40, not having to trait for it.

i always wondered what the point of creating a symbol of wrath after taking falling damage was…

Because symbols are very nice, and do some nice damage and protect you.
Aka awesome.

In any case, at least all professions should have it as an option. And it’s insane that elementalists won’t have it, when they can turn themselves into elements. They are the most obvious profession that should have some kind of floaty fall option.
