Guild Wars 2

I play a thief and totaly agree, get rid of downed state all together or if not at least remove the stun, pushback, teleport, interrupt abilitys.

The only downstate that needs to be adjusted is the Ele, and I play Memser, Engineer, and Warrior. There are actually ways to stomp every #2 without delay, Thief and Mesmer are a fair bit obtuse in being able to do this though. With the Thief you need an instant cast teleport, and the Mesmer you need stealth with no other targets available. Not everyone has access to that, but then not everyone has Stability either.

Agree with OP. In a 3v3+ fight you simply don’t have the time to deal with the Downed State abilities for a thief and mesmer and subsequently they will either be revived while you’re trying to finish them or you will be killed for donating so much time to a “Downed” enemy. My root does nothing since the enemy is already on me and ready to finish me and my mist form doesn’t come up in time. Basically it’s completely imbalanced and has no place in tPvP.
