To “counter” the rezzbots, anet has removed the downstate “invulnerability” so it is easier to cleave.

What is now the point of stomping ? To spend 3.5 seconds eating all the damage without being able to do anything ? One interrupt or one downstate stealth and this time is lost. Plus, it takes way less than 2 seconds to fully rez someone :/ Cleave stays by far the best.

Suggestion: Stomping applies revealed to the downstate. Stomping reduces the rez speed by 50%.

Bolded the request I’m mainly contesting.

It’s not like there are two classes that rely on Stealth as ways to survive in Downstate, Mesmer and Thief.

And it’s not like that would make Traits like Merciful Ambush and skills like Shadow Refuge, and Blinding Powder completely useless….

Stomping can be better than cleaving, it is all situational, try to put cleave an Engi or Druid rezzing someone it won’t happen but any other class you can out cleave them but you could cc and then start to stomp or actually coordinate with teammates to cc and stomp the Down.

They need to look into non-player rezzing capabilities i.e. Ranger Pets and the Gyro from Scrapper, the main perpetrators of Rezbots.

Depending on the situation and which build you’re playing stomping might sometimes be better than cleaving, e.g. if you don’t deal much damage but need to give your teammate a quick rally.

I kinda hate it when you’re stomping a theif or a mesmer and they keep teleporting away. Thought they could only do it once because of a cooldown but sometimes it seems like the other guys keeps teleporting and trolling me

They are normally only once on a long CD if a player can’t secure the down on that CD it’s not the skill that’s the problem

Lol.

If this is a big fight and you’re cleaving, then chances are that your enemies are also reviving, which is counter-acting most, if not all of your cleave. Stomp ends it outright.

Sometimes it’s better to cleave or let people bleed, but it’s usually best to stomp.

^ This guy gets it. It’s situational. Learn the pros and cons of each.
