Guild Wars 2

Hi,

please remove the ability to perform actions while finishing other players AND finish them – or in other words: no possibility to port, use elixir or mist form AND finish the player in downstate. This simply sucks kitten and gives those classes an unfair advantage.

I don’t mind that you can use those actions while finishing, but then it should cancel the finishing move.

P. S.: I know that you can use e.g. stability with other classes while finishing, but you could still remove it / apply conditions to interrupt the finishing move, what isn’t possible in those cases.

Strip stability and remove any blind thrown as well. That’s clearly an exploit.

edit because flood control: You can stealth a downed body and the guy stomping blew a more or less 60 sec cooldown for nothing.

Nope, because, as I wrote, you can still remove condis/boons and have the possibility to interrupt.

You can still kill a stealthed player in downstate like you could still interrupt a stealthed player who finishes.

I disagree with OP.. If the stomping player wishes to blow his utilities to get a nice stomp off, that’s his problem.. The odds are that after that stomp he’ll be down quite quickly, since no escapes left..

It’s all very situation dependant, I’m aware

Question to OP: How will you counter a pistol thief that spams his smoke field on your dying corpse? Remove the blind that is instantly re-applied? …?

He doesn’t get a nice stomp, he just stomps and activates god-mode. I don’t mind using mist or elixir s at all, but, as known, for getting a great advantage (god-mode) you get a great disadvantage in return (no actions possible). Same with port.

Of course this is situation dependent and in 1v1 this is usually no big deal, but 2v2+, due to the possibility to rally a lot of players with one stomp …

Another player could still remove the blind on the downed player or interrupt the thief.

This suggestion won’t go well with a lot of players. Sorry, but part of the down-state is the ability to recover and overcome. Your suggestion pretty much removes it.

If that’s the case, remove the down-state then and make it instant death.

But, of course, that should never happen either.

Simply learn to read more than the headline.

It works both ways. With defender and attacker. I read your post. Completely. And I still say your suggestion won’t go well with a lot of players.

For example, you speak of the attack state. The player using certain methods to speed up the killing blow. In reverse, we can instant teleport, turn invisible, mist, etc. So, yes, it works in reverse as well. Maybe you should learn to read more than what you want to hear?

. . .

Is there a reason why all these suggestions, and their makers, are taking the feedback for their suggestions so personally?

I’m not aware of any professions in the entire game that don’t have instant cast skills that do at least something to help secure a stomp, so it’s hardly unfair. Warriors and Rangers are the only classes without at least a teleport, and both have access to quickness, damage immunity, and an autobreak (e.g., Last Stand).

And of course, even an invulnerable stomp has potential counterplay, such as bannering the victim.
