Guild Wars 2

Hey guys is stealth stomp avoidable if im downed? its so op… and without cooldown wish I can overcome it

With guardian and necro, or any class that has an AoE disable/stealth.. yeah. Otherwise nope.

I mean when im downed

Yes, when you’re downed and they’re stomping in stealth? That’s what i’m saying. If you have a guardian or a necro you can still hit them with KD/fear while they’re stealthed.

KD ? fear needs targeting

I hate to tell you this, but if you are down, you lost the fight.

Stealth/stability/blind/myst form stomping just solidifies that loss that already happened.

simple thing, make it so that when you finish someone you can’t be in stealth, i do find it a horrible system if you can kill someone while in stealth this way.

i can tell you right now, I run d/d+s/p on my thief and i will typically just use black powder (p5) instead of steath for finishing. It’s MUCH more reliable.

So it’s really not a simple thing, it’s more a knee jerk reaction to stealth while at the same time ignoring other skills that let you do the same thing but better even—stablity, blind, myst form—just some off the top of my head.

As scrambles said once you’re down the fight is pretty much over. even if they don’t stealth and you interrupt them you’re just delaying the inevitable in the vast majority of cases so its not worth trying to nerf that technique. anyone who can’t use stealth is just going to use stability or block.

then wtf does downed state do in PvP if it’s a certain death sign, remove it from PvP.

You can blind stomp, stability stomp, tele stomp, invulnerability stomp, aegis stomp, pet stand in front of you stomp and stealth stomp.

so I don’t see what’s the problem? In a team fight you can also save ppl who are stomped with knockdowns and kitten, since thieves have poor access to stability. But you can’t knock someone with stability down.

This comment is cringe worthy.

You think its a horrible system to kill the person that you beat? LOL!

You don’t think the down state in general is a joke? What?

Facepalm

On topic. You’re downed? You lost the fight, there is nothing wrong with blind stomping, stealth stomping, tele stomping, stability stomping, mist form stomping, and Elixir S stomping.

dont forget distortion stomping… i do it all the time on mesmer.. all the illusions would die anyways.. so why not use them as a shield ;D
