Guild Wars 2

Hi.
Is there a certain trait set up in any profession that makes rallying yourself when downed extremely easy? If you have one, pleas post the build.

Thanks

If you press V while alive, it makes it easier to resurrect yourself.

Since you don’t go down, hah…

… I beg to differ. In a 1v_, there always stands a chance of your player going down. In these frequent situations, dodge might not help. Therefore it would be beneficial to have a build that could get up fast when killed.

May I also add:
Skill6 is also another way too! Fastest way to keep yourself alive if you are about to get downed.

And let’s not forget about all the Support & Control Skills as well. =)

I repeat: if you get stuck in a 1v_ and HAPPEN TO GO DOWN, is there a certain build set that gets you up most effectively?

On the main note:
I believe by increasing your Healing stat , it should also increase the speed of how fast you may revive yourself if you are downed.

HOWEVER:
I do NOT recommend using Traits to increase that specific “Stat-Bonus”
You are better off using Traits for what they do, and later on getting Armor/Upgrades to make up for the missing “Stats” so you can balance your playstyle and make it work.

Not to say, some classes do have Traits that support you on downstate, (Depends) so you might wana go check it out and see if there are any traits for your liking in that department.

Hope that helps.

Please check out my Guide “GW2 Combat system 101”.

I think you mean reviving from being downed. Then you have four skills to either eliminate what downed you or revive back up

In my exp…Guardians. #3 can almost raise you while being attacked itself. Use it then #4 which is the standard heal over time everyone has.

If this is not what you meant…then I/we are in need of more info from you

Yeah that’s what I mean. Reviving from being downed. This is also called “Rally”. So Guardians have the easiest way to rally?

Via traits, nobody has easy rally. Via food/runes/stats/skills… it’s really situational. If you put yourself in a 1v_, you’re just saying: I’m dead no matter what.

Why? No matter what class you are, you WILL die if you’re facing too many [strong/difficult] mobs.

Tis true Esplen….however…

I have rallied myself with my Guardian far more than anything else. Was cracking a couple ppl up one time cause I made it last 5 minutes against a boss. I finally got tired of the stalemate and gave up.

:P

guardians certainly have a good base for self rally with downed skill #3. And it’s aoe to boot, so if someone else happens to go down next to you, they should thank you.

guardians have traits to take less damage while downed, do more damage while downed, and so on. also traits to reflect attacks or provide res-er and res-ee boons during revival. They make excellent mistake correctors if they are paying attention to the battlefield.

I believe necros also have similar trait lines. Their AoE regen certainly doesn’t hurt, and their skill 1 while downed drains life. a skilled necro can properly time all their downed skills to keep an enemy on their toes for an extended time.

Warriors of course have an insta-res button on their downed bar, making it cute to finish off a fight. when traited, as long as they finish their target off they will no go back down, 100% chance. Easily the best way to self res yourself when not facing a world event boss or something that’s more than 30 seconds from defeat.

I’m not too familiar with the other professions downed mechanics yet.

all of the above specced with more healing and toughness will only prolong your survival while downed. whether you need that much attention just for a “once in a while” event is up for debate.

I think most classes have pretty good situational rallies. Thiefs are great at being slippery and biding time along with a trait for 50% more damage while downed, rangers are good (when the pet actually heals) for having an additional helper, mesmers are also great at being a little slippery in 1v1, warriors have vengeance, etc.

Nothing exists that makes rallying “extremely easy” as the downed state is a last chance before death. Downed state means you essentially already failed, but have a small chance to redeem yourself. I personally would never waste stats / points on something that requires me to have failed.

The easiest way to rally is to play a condition build. Your DoTs still tick on everything when you go down, and if your DoT kills something, you’ll rally. Condition necros and thieves tend to have the easiest rallies because of this, and its not uncommon when fighting large groups of enemies on such builds to simply insta-rally after an attack that downs you. That said it’s not alone a reason to build for conditions, but rather a nice little extra that makes for some hilarious combat situations now and then.
