Guild Wars 2

I’m sure this has probably been spoken of before but I figured i’d post as the “Ask a Question” email directed me to this forum.

In World VS World, i’ve come across it way too often when the moment you get downed, a thief homes in on your downed form and boom, finishes you while invisible.
To me, if feels rather, unfair. The moment you get downed you’re suppose to try and Fiight For Your Life, but the moment they become invisible and are standing literally on top of you, you now can’t do anything except die.

I kinda feel that the moment a thief holds down the F key, they should then become visable again.

I am aware there are ways to try and counter it, but 9/10 it mostly won’t work
(I can see it being stopped if for instance someone is downed and that guy manages to in time say “Invisible Thief on me” and someone reacts by using a knockback move on that spot like the rifle’s melee attack, that could prevent it)

If not make them visable during Finishers… then what if the moment an ally starts to revive a player, it stops anyone attempting to use a Finisher on them.
I say this because a lot of times someone is downed, then someone else goes to revive them then BOOM! Flag hits the body, kills them, thief appears and runs away and then they’re stuck reviving the guy anyways cept now he has repair fees…

Opinions?

I would prefer to have the downed state removed completely.

This has been asked about many times, and it always seems to be about thieves. No one complains about the other stomps for some reason. In my opinion it’s fine as it is, and as an avid WvW player I have been downed many times by invisible thieves. Deal with it.

Grimno.6172:

No, that would be terrible.

I rather be downed by a thief invisible than an ele who wastes a 90 second cd just to ensure I get downed..
