Guild Wars 2

My complain is that when someone is down 90% of the times is more strong then before.
So if some profession don’t have the possibility to finish him 90% of the time they stand up again.
In my opinion in Spvp it should be changed if you want focus on e-sport, because those abilities are not based on the ability of the gamer to win a fight, but on the contrary those ability are based on lamer abilities, that let you unable to finish your opponent.
To sum up please keep them up in any other contest as www or pve, but not in spvp.

Blind, stability, dodgeroll, knockback his allies so they cant ress.

For me and my team it’s VERY rare that someone gets up after being downed, unless we fight 2v3.

1v1 thief vs guardian ? come on fist he knock back you, second damage third you are almost dead , he kill you and he will rally. So 90% the times I down them and I go away, it should be without this lamer thing such as in all other pvp games as dota, lol … If a.net wish to have a e-sport close to the edge as the other games mention before as to change the some skills.

As a thief you shouldnt complain about the downed state of other professions :P

Indeed, I don’t complain about a singular DS of some profession nor my, I am complaining about this feature in itself.
It should be downgraded in the possibility just to rally up if the enemy that has killed you is dead not has it now.
Damages should be reduce than an 80% and remove all knock-back, stealth, blink, … abilities.

This is a very silly thread. Downed state does minimal damage. If you are constantly in situations where you are getting killed by downed players, I would urge you to take a look at your toughness or vitality stats.

Best finishing move for thieves is Black Powder from pistol off hand, it lays a small AoE field which blinds every 1 second causing the next attack to miss. Meaning they can’t hit you with there disable or even there auto attacks.

Second best option is to just finish them in stealth, grab that dagger off hand and Cloak and Dagger there downed soon to be corpse and then go to town with your cow finisher. =)
