Perhaps it’s another strike against Rangers, but #4 stops channeling after 2-3 seconds, even when not being attacked or hitting any buttons yourself. Luckily your pet can pick you up, but if other classes are able to continue to channel and rez, then this would be a bug on the Ranger front.. would it not?

I just tested this to confirm and yes, it stops channeling after 3s or so.

That must be a problem on your end because the #4 downed skill has never stopped on me(all I play is ranger) unless I am hit while it’s active.

This exactly, and I main a ranger. What is likely happening is you are hitting 4 and channeling for a few seconds, and then when 3 is up you are using it to call your pet over, which since it is technically using a skill it stops channeling (but your pet is ressing you), wait a few seconds and then you can channel 4 again while your pet is still ressing you, and you are healing even faster.

Sounds like you need Life Alert®, OP

Maybe it’ll become available on the gem store?

Oh kitten, I can already imagine the ads for this one. Drat!

Hey rangers aren’t bad. They bring Frost Spirit to a group!

Everyone wants a ranger in their party, with no refrigerators in Kryta, Krytans rely on frost spirits to keep their dwarven ale cold!

When I’m downed my instinct is to press all of the buttons as fast as I can

This isn’t Mortal Kombat, although “Finish Him!” seems appropriate.

Eff that, bet it’ll be green trunks instead of purple ones that clip but +£$

Please fix this. I hate when I’ve fallen and there is nothing to attack while my health goes down. Instead of waiting for imminent death your health should recover since nothing is attacking you.

A clear l2p issue. Read up on skill descriptions, also learn how to use the proper skills at the right time. Button mash works for Zerg, but not good for tactical and strategic gameplay.

Many have probably said it, but skill 4 when downed is self heal. It is a channelled attack. Depending on class, skill 3 usually is a back up heal I.e ranger and guardian (but not Warrior). Skill 2 is your defensive skill, and skill 1 is your downed attack skill. Any skills from 1 to 3 will cancel your skill 4 if it is on going.

Of course many people have said it. Even ArenaNet staff have said it. I think he gets the hint after 2 pages now.

Those who wonder why the downed skills aren’t in the Wiki…
