Guild Wars 2

Heya.
It feels like this is broken.
When I’m bout to down someone on the water map, They very often run for the water,
Why? because you cant finish them (which I would be ok with)
But since you have to damage them to get them defeated, They’ll just swim up and down the surface to get the invulnerable buff all the time.
This gets me bored so I’ve have stopped chasing people down the water and overall avoid underwater combat. which is sad.

I would like to see changes about this.

Seconded. That invulnerable state is pretty silly and needs some type of internal cooldown.

Also I’d like to add to this that the mesmer underwater downed state is broken. After your first clone+teleport (2) it treats you as if you were now on ground for all purposes including death speed, movement etc.

The Ranger downed state ‘3’ ability is also bugged. You can call your pet to you and it will heal you at a ridiculously fast pace and no longer treat your hp like you’re drowning.

Ye this is a problem and should be fixed before adding more water maps

Agreed. It’s stupid how people can reach the surface and suddenly become invunerable.

I have a solution, try attacking the ranger?

It’s a huge balance issue right now yeah
