Guild Wars 2

Was fighting one of those spirit weapon guardians, where you are constantly owned by his adds. Downed him within 10 seconds or so, so all his spirit weapons were still had their active cooldown up, but was a little confused that they stayed on downed. While trying to cap him I got knocked back twice, killing me (had around 20% life at end of fight)and his downed state outhealed me to win (was playing engi at the time)

Reason why I’m asking is this intentional is unlike necros, guardians maintain their adds on downed and since you’re not able to dps the spirit weapons it seems a little ridiculous. I mean as a thief, 2-3 cluster bombs or one caltrops and the minion build is completely useless

What, using CnD on the downed Guardian is too hard?

Anyway, Spirit Weapons don’t last for a long time, unlike Necro minions. I guess they’re treated like Ranger pets to some extent.

CnD Stomp doesnt work with spirit weapons as far as i know, if the spirit weapon has already targetted and damaged you, it will find you in stealth and knock you away.

they dont last very long though, if i can afford it i just switch to my shortbow and do some trickshots to prevent him from healing or pop daggerstorm, then cancel it with my weaponswitch button and stomp the guardian, this way his aoe knockback wont affect you aswell and you can stomp right away, but 90 sec cd and no daggerstorm is quite a high price for stability. but yah, if its the difference between a win and a loss, then its more then worth it
