Guild Wars 2

Right now it’s impossible to quick stomp thieves, eles and mesmers cause their 2 skill is immune to blind and ignores stability.

So weakest downed states are in this order:
Engi. Most stupid 2 skill, attracting enemy to you, and helping him to stomp you.
Necro*: Sad sad blindable fear…
Ranger: Weird lightning snare. (At least pet can stop your enemy one more time).
Warrior: Same kitten anti-stomp. If you’re able to wake up you can do some damage or revive an ally.
Guardian: At least is an area anti-stomp.

All of them are or negated by stability or miss when blinded. So using a well placed skill you can guarantee the stomp. But once again Anet is rewarding A.I, and unavoidable mechannics instead of good timing.

I begging for more human control.
I want my healing skill on full CD if my enemy pushes me while I’m casting it. I want to suffer 150% of my damage if he reflects my projectiles. I want to get stomped if he blinds me in the exact moment. I want to be punished by using skills in the wrong moment.

Action-Reaction PVP is fun. Automatic and unavoidable skills are cheap and unfun. (That’s why a lot of people complain about thiefs spam, mesmers shatters and phantasms, quickness, retaliation etc)

What’s this Nigro profession you speak of?

Real quick –
-Team Game, not 5 to 8 players soloing
-Down abilities listed above can be used to stop stomps on teammates
-Down abilities listed above can be used to stop revival on a downed enemy
-Thief, Mes and now Ele down abilities can only be used to save themselves, nothing else.

Different but equal.

dont go there

I dont find them different but equal. I find them just worse.

I find it hilarious how quickly someone complained about Ele’s Downed state. Anyways, I don’t think there should be any be all and end all method to finishing enemies off. Downed skills that negate Stab/Stealth/Invul stomps shake things up nicely imo.

You’re reading just what you want. And if you ask me, I’m happy with the Ele’s downed state change, cause before it was a joke.

About the topic, I dont understand why for example necro fear can be blinded and mesmer teleport not. And I’m not talking about 1vs1, no matter how many teammates are playing with you, if you want to stomp a mesmer you have to wait until he blinks. And I know it’s easy and he has a red triangle over his head, but you lose time trying to do it.

I was very clear earlier. Please don’t just “Read what you want”. The necro’s ability can be used to save himself, save a teammate, or stop an enemy revival. The mesmers ability can only be used to save himself. The necro’s downed ability has less raw “power” (it can be blinded), while having alot more utility.

Edit: Concerning Necro, I’m not exactly 100% sure on how their fear works. I believe it works as I’ve claimed, but I don’t want to be hypocritical. I do know for a fact that Engi, War, Guard and Ranger down states DO work that way. Necro probably also works the same.

Mmm? Did I miss something? I wasnt answering you. I was answering Dual.8953. about the Ele’s downed state.
And well, perhaps in some situations you can be able to stop a revive for 1 sec, but most of the time is much better to force your enemies to chase you. And you can still miss it cause somebody can blind you.

My complaint is not much about the utility, it’s because some professions have downed abilities that can’t never ever fail and others not.
