Guild Wars 2

I have a lvl 80 sylvari Ele. Every time I die and revive myself I immediately take 15000-16000 damage and die again. This happens every single time I die in combat. And it’s not coming from attacks. It just happens. I can’t figure it and no one’s been able to help me. It’s getting really frustrating and making me not want to play the game anymore.

Please help!

Does this only happen when you revive yourself by using the healing skill (number 4) or does it also happen if you revive by killing an enemy? What if someone else heals you?

I’m not sure what could be causing it, but knowing that might help to narrow it down.

Edit: Just to make sure you are talking about rallying by filling your health bar or killing an enemy right? Not using Vapor Form (skill 2)? Because that works by temporarily giving you a health boost and putting you into Mist Form, just like the utility skill, then when it runs out it removes exactly the same amount of health it gave you and you go back to being downed.

Which is exactly what it’s supposed to do, since it’s intended as a way to get out of danger and not an instant rally skill.

Edit 2: You could try checking the combat log to see if that will tell you where the damage came from. It might not completely explain it but it would help narrow it down.

I have a feeling that even before your downed state skill bar appears you press 2 in frenzy. That results in mist form. When you press mist form, combat log says you heal yourself to full health because you tehnicaly are not downed, but after 3sec of mist form you get to down state again reciving full dmg (the amount of health you have). Like danikat wrote.

I know from experience that I have hit the mist form as soon as I died without realizing it can be very mist leading.

but another thing is your death penetaly. every time you go down and rez you start with less health in a down state.

another factor is that your running pure zerker and getting hit buy a truck the moment you actually rez

This is very annoying when the player presses weapon skill 2 just before getting downed and as a result unintentionally wastes mistform cd.
