Guild Wars 2

if the game have the downed mode, and every class has his own 4 skills to deal with it, why ENGINEER has the chance to use ELIXIR R to AUTORES himself? it is not fair.
remove the 6seconds duration or remove the option on himself.

warriors get back up from downed state too.

People just need to get over this whole downed state thing.

Maybe when we can rent servers we can initiate a mode (death match) that has no downed state.

warriors dies after vengeance finishes if they dont spec it in traits.
engi resurrect with a skill that is not in downed mode state, but used before dieing.
i am over downed mechanics, i really don’t care.
if i was rageing at elite banner of warrior ressing all around him, i was a fool. but warrior can’t use banner to res himself.
engi can, and in a game where downed mode is part of tactic, strategy, mechanic of the game, allowing this 5th skill to help downed mode is , as i titled it, unacceptable.

There are a lot of problems with the downed state, but this isn’t one of them.

There should absolutely be a #5 ability for every class that lets you die and start respawn timer. I realize that the down state give you a fighting chance, but in some situations I just would rather die and start the timer.

it is not a downed mode problem, and i think downed mode is quite fine. this is a collateral effect of a skill which should not works with downed mode.

Rangers can do it too with the nature spirit. Engi has to sacrifice an ability slot. That’s a lot cause a weapon kit are 6 abilities, and engi can’t switch weapons.

Bring a counter to it:

You can stop hitting the engineer when he uses this skill.
You can use a ‘blowout’ and knock him away from the res.

I am certain that there are more counters to this res mechanic.

actually the real counter to it is to continue hitting him so he doesn’t res.

This would be the obvious way to counter if you’re playing a high dps spec. I believe the heal ticks for around 3k so you will need to do quite some damage.

@Hopeless, yes. The only other way to prevent the res is to get a stomp off immediately. You’ll need stability to do this.

Also, a Ranger that has the Spirit of Nature, the elite that reses everyone within a certain area can get away with clicking it before death and immediatly coming back.

There is a downside to doing stuff like that though. For each time they down, they come back with less and less health in downed state. In a way, it works for your favor.

If you like an other classes downed skills: REROLL. Every class has its pros and cons (atleast point of view is different for eacht person.)

most stupid sentence i have read . good job. so why dont everyone roll thief because, for every noob who die at them, they are op?
so why waste time balancing a game if everyone should roll another class.
