Guild Wars 2

My suggestion:

• Every additional player that revive a down/defeated player gets their reviving heal reduced by 50% sequentially.
• The first player to revive a downed player revive at 100% healing. The second player revive at 50% healing. The third player revive at 25%. The fourth player revive at 12%. The fifth at 6%.
• It prioritize whoever has the highest healing power at first. Then prioritize whoever the first to heal.
• Also, healing power res heal should get buffed. If a player has maxed out healing power. Their potential healing power should be increased so that it is around 187% potential res heal.

How does this effect the game?

In dungeons, as there is a Zerk meta, zerk gear becomes much more riskier without nerfing a single bit of damage. Using Zerk gear requires more skill as getting downed will impact the run much more.

Healing power becomes a helpful stat without it being a requirement. Can a dungeon run be done without healing power? Yes. Can healing power be helpful? Yes. Will it impact the meta? Probably not. I see this healing power being useful in mediocre groups that has players getting downed frequently, but useless in superior dungeon groups that never had a player go downed.

In WvW/PvP, outnumbered fights become easier because the number of players reviving each other is impacted. Skill becomes more valuable than numbers.

Except for the downed skills being unfair and the occasional 1 player reviving many in PvP/WvW, your suggestion is trying to fix a problem that doesn’t need fixing or isn’t on the list of big changes guild wars 2 needs.

Actually, in WvW and PvP, people will more often be revived by the an opponent’s death. An outnumbered group still doesn’t stand a chance because it only takes one death on their team to revive every downed player on the other team.
