Guild Wars 2

- Fractal avenger seems to be now finishing regardless of cc. If you don’t invuln at the right moment, you get finished. CC doesn’t do anything and either your party ress you in time or you get killed. Also it basically insta-killed me in one case (I got downed, avenger spawned, bam, fully dead). Is CC-ing to not be finished working properly?

- Banner that was supposed to be “friendly” in Mai Trin sometimes is “enemy”? This change seemingly happened a couple weeks ago — Inspector sometimes randomly would cast a banner (and even rez people with it sometimes) but last couple times it seemed that the banner was “enemy” (i.e. dealing damage to me). Was it just a coincidence or did anyone else had it like that?

if you cc the avenger he disappears. you probably were blinded and missed

the only issue with them for me is when i insta rally and they are doing the finisher and then i go down again and get insta-dead as they are finishing the skill. avenger should be immediately despawned after rally.

-Avenger work fine for me . If I’m down. I use skill 5 and Avenger disappear. Never getting weird case like that.

-You might confused Kiel banner with Aetherblade Thug banner I think.
Thug mob can cast banner that damage you.

Oh. I wonder if that was the case. Or AOE on its finisher is large enough that when two people go down sequentially avenger 1 might actually finish person 2 instead. Makes sense.

Perhaps, it does get a bit hectic where it’s hard to tell when she waves a hand to cast and then thug casts own instead. Does thug mob banner damage show up in your damage log? What is it listed as?

Nope. The avenger can only finish the person whose down-state caused it to spawn. (That’s what changed recently.)

I’ve not had any trouble CCing the avengers, whether due to my being downed or someone else.

Avengers work fine.

So Avengers CAN still stomp the wrong person, its just way less likely. Thanks to some new tech I could potentially rebuild them… again… so that they DEFINITELY can’t stomp the wrong person.

Low on my priority list but yeah just saying.

Not needed imo. The diff with their previous itteration is that now every has downed 5 to aoe cc the avengers.

Why not just remove this mechanic completely, if you are unable to fix it??
No one was unhappy, when the avengers did not kill at all. And all the new fractals get such AoE overkills, that even normal rezzing or going down gets dangerous enough.

No one voiced displeasure isn’t the same as not unhappy.

I for one am grateful it’s fixed, and am constantly unhappy when i see players not using their downed skills to prevent themselves from being stomped in T4 because they didn’t learn how to properly handle themselves.

i wish the avengers spawn locations didnt self interrupt me every time i push 2 on engi, even if i try to prevent it by 1ing to try to move them out of my hitbox area.

This. It adds nothing but annoyance and is ultimately , completely pointless.
