Guild Wars 2

Does anyone else have trouble getting this to work for players?

I rarely am able to rez down (or ‘dead’) players with this, but have no trouble with NPC’s.

Is there like a time limit of when you can use it on a downed player? Do they have to be ‘dead’ or just downed? (mind, it doesn’t seem to work on either).

Does anyone else have this issue?

I’m not ‘missing’ the player. Because like I said, I have no problem rezzing npc’s with this.

(also the cool down is ridiculously long) making it useless for rezzing players anyway.. but still, I’d like it to work.)

I’ve noticed this. I equipped it for the first time during the Marionette events when I thought it would be useful to have a res skill to hand, but it never seemed to work on anyone.

I did wonder the same as you, whether it had a time limit or something I wasn’t quite getting. It distinctly says “downed” on the tooltip, rather than dead or defeated, so I presume they have to be “fighting to survive”, but other than that, guidance would be helpful!

I’ve not tried it on NPC’s, though presumably, they’d be dead, rather than downed …

It doesn’t work on downed players either …. thats why I posted here. s:

And so far, it works for npc’s every single time. But its extremely random, and rare for it to work on players.

So, I guess it’s bugged then?! .. ):.. .. and has been for awhile /:

All ress skills only work on downed not dead/defeated players. They also fail to ress if the person is poisoned, not sure if that is intentional or a bug.

a: it only works on downed players. This is intended.
b: There is a known bug where it doesn’t work on downed players with only 30% health left and on downed players who are poisened.

and yet I’ve tried it on many players that weren’t poisoned, in the downed state and it fails to rez them.
Maybe it doesn’t if they have any conditions, but that makes it a pretty useless signet.

Why does it work on npc’s when they’d be “dead” not downed?

How many allied NPCs have you seen in a downed state?

I regularly use it (well not so much this week) and I never saw a bug. It might be dumb and don’t get offended, but are you correctly aiming at the downed player ?

Yeah I am, like I said it works without fail on npc’s.

Heck I’ve made sure players were right in the middle of it, …and still nothing.
