Guild Wars 2

This is an idea to change downed state in sPvP into something else. Downed is fine in PvE and WvW but in sPvP I think we need something else.

So what is Ghost State? When you die you become a ghost until you respawn. Ghosts can move very slowly and have limited-use specific ghost state skills. For example skill 1 could deal some damage, enough to kill a really low hp enemy. Skill 2 would heal some and stun break an ally, skill 3 heal and remove conditions. Skill 4 stun enemy for 1 second.

Ghosts would have like 2-4 charges to use on activating their skills, after expending them they can just walk around slowly and wait to respawn. Could scout enemy movements.

There could be traits to enhance Ghost State like there are traits now that enhance the Downed State, like gaining extra charges, added effects, etc. Ghost state skills should be selectable so a condition-based build will use a skill 1 that inflicts bleeding instead of direct damage.

Finishers in sPvP will activate automatically when you land the killing blow on someone, their corpse will be the target of the finisher and a Ghost version of the player will move around in the Ghost State.

This is something to think about.

I remember the beginning of Guild Wars 2. No one liked down state.

It’s a cool idea, but it’s unnecessary.

Down States are an important and great part of the PvP game mechanic.

No thanks sounds like that weird ghost state from wow. No ty. No one likes down state just needs to be removed.

Down state is fine, in fact it enhances pvp. Rallying could be removed, potentially.

I like downed state.

Pulling off an insane res on an ally is sometimes more fun than 100-0ing a target.

i don’t like downed states. remove them from pvp, or give all classes the same downed state skills

No downstate is awesome. Its adds another level of understanding. People rage because they dont understand what to do with certain classes down states. Good teams know to aoe a area with thieves, get the stomp against rangers, have 2 people go for stomps against warriors, etc etc.

If you dont like down state then you dont like the ability for counter plays in which you shouldnt play this game.

Resurrection signet or full ressurection skills like gw1 would be better than downed state bullkitten.
