Guild Wars 2

If it is a bug, why has it not been address at all – its not as if the game hasn’t already been out 6 months? Has it even been acknowledged by anet that it is a bug? It’d be pretty perplexing that if it is a bug it is in my mind quite an important one that needs to be address asap.

If not I guess its just the way it was intended. Which by the way makes the ranger that much more potent in 1 v 1 situations, especially if both classes get to downed state at more or less the same time. Almost impossible to kill in that situation as the ranger has more then twice as many options as other classes in the downed state as long as their pet is alive (or they can switch pets).

So if this isn’t a bug, then it really needs to be toned down in some sort of way. Maybe make the pet heal 50% slower, no pet switching or lock out the pet skills. Personally I’d luv to see the f1-f4 skills locked out during down state, but if its gonna be there it needs to definitely be changed – or give other classes a nice buff to downed state.

Suggestions !

Warriors – Able to use vengeance straight away. Vengeance lasts 25% longer.
Elementalist – Switching attunements give aoe buffs to those around them.
Necro – Able to use death shroud.
Guardian – Able to use their virtues.
Mesmers – Able to use their f3 and f4 skills.

And so forth. Tho really the easy thing would just to lock out rangers f1-f4 during downed state.

Yes rangers need locked out of their f1-f4 in downed state. And just because the game has been out six months does not mean its a bug. There are plenty of bugs still in existence from the BWEs so that point about time is moot.
