Guild Wars 2

I’ve been trying to search online for any information about Death Breakdowns but haven’t stumbled on any official explanation of the information Death Breakdown provides.

I was thinking it may be just the obvious, this is what killed me. But when I get a Death Breakdown that has a long list of skills I wonder if its showing what damage I took while I was downed before I died, or is it the last 5 seconds before death… ?

I added an attachment that I was interested in having explained to me because I was doing so well, being quite skillful for a casual sPvP’r and all of a sudden I was downed and insta-dead w/ no downed time.

I think it goes most recent to least, grouping up like sources. Not sure how far back is the limit.

It would be nice if skill descriptions are added when cursor is over a certain skill.

An indirect and great way to learn another profession. Greater understanding, better foundation for improving skills

Theres a dropdown in the upper left corner that shows the order of skills used until death. The default shows what did the most dmg to you. Theres a third option but I dont recall what it is. Next time its up click it and take a gander

edit: The option that shows the order of skills used unfortunatly doesnt show timestamps but you can always go to your log and see how fast that thf actually smashed your face in lol

All it ever says to me is Killed by Vopor Form.

I think it measures all the hits you have taken since you went in combat and got finished while downed.

Most likely this. It would pretty much have to be from the start of combat to the end (aka death). Or possibly from the moment you ress to the moment you die.

I would guess on the first one though. Seeing as I usually just die a few times/match but still never have damage for more than about 2-3 times my healthpool represented in the breakdown.
