Currently skills while in downed mode are vastly imbalanced if you compare different classes, to the point that if two downed players fight the result is pre determined. Are there any plans to make downed mode more balanced?

I’m with you, but I think there are so many other issues and balancing going on at the moment, you are best to just wait it out for a year or so. Then attempt a revisit at this topic…

Guardian and Ranger seem to be the most powerful in downstate to me. Guardian has a very powerful aoe heal and ranger can use his pet to rezz him. Vengeance from warriors would be another problematic downed skill in my opinion, since it gives them access to their full set of regular skills.

Weakest classes in downstate seems to be mesmer and elementalist to me.

Weakest donwstate that has 100% imunity to the first stomp in the teamfight…. right

The engy is probably the weakest cause he is easy to stomp + pathetic damage that prevents win in the downfight 1v1.

How does immunity to one stomp help? That immunity almost always ports you out of the point you are trying to hold and in 1v1 downed you still loose anyway.

Actually engineer does decent damage and can interrupt skills/stomps.

It actually depends on the situation. Eles down state may be weaker in 1v1 szenarios but if you include other players, it becomes a lot stronger.

The Engineer auto attack does pathetic damage whether zerker or condition but the 3rd skill can do insane damage as a zerker and especially with the trait.
