Guild Wars 2

I’ve recently been playing more spvp and I keep seeing opponents getting back up after downed. They aren’t healing themselves because I’m still attacking them. Every time I see this. Their downed health bar says half so they shouldn’t be getting up. No one is rezzing them. But suddenly they are alive with 25% health.

If an enemy they attacked is killed outright they will rally, ranger Spirit of Nature can res them, mesmer Illusion of Life can get them up as can a few other things but these are the effects you’re most likely to see.

Rally off an NPC or another player they had tagged earlier? Warrior Vengeance?

Ok. Because the timing was always so consistent. It was always when they had about half of their downed health left. A few times it was when there was no one else around us. So that must be from a tag.

Yeah I get surprise rallies in hotjoin all the time, because as a hammer warrior I tend to damage a lot of players around the one I am concentrating on.

They really should rethink the rally system (range, # of players, dmg on target requirement) or scrap it all together. It’s not very intuitive, and leads to huge swings in team fights after the first stomp.
