80 ~ Thief/Guardian
(edited by Gankfest.4965)
How is this a good system in a 1v1 fight; when I down someone and I’m trying to finish them off. I get downed in the process and they get all their health back and finish me off easily? Kinda fail if you ask me…
I’m still trying to figure out how they were able to get out of downed state after throwing rocks at me.

? they don’t get to get back up unless they have vengeance or something. In which case they will likely die afterwards anyway.
You only get to rally on a KILL not a DOWN.
cleared he murdered some random wolf or deer or eagle gryphon or harpy or veteran guard or one of the other 935 random mobs that litter the map and randomly rally people repeatedly during fights
Either Vengeance or they somehow killed something they may have tagged while or before engaging you. I’ve had that happen actually.

this is such a problem honestly; there’s really no point in ever 1v1 someone in wvw because of all the mobs. as a thief doing this will get you wrecked, as all attacks on weapons a thief has are multi target
It was a Mesmer and we were not close enough to any mobs. I know a Warrior can do that, but wasn’t aware a Mesmer can.
They can create a clone, summon a rogue phantasm, and mind blast you for confusion. They don’t have a ‘get up and die later’ skill.
Whats the deal with vengeance ? mostly die n sometimes you live is it just pure chance ?
If you kill something before vengeance wears out you get to rally. If you don’t, you die.
Why didn’t you just blind him or pop a stealth? (Your sig says you’re a thief.) Finishing off downed people is extremely easy on my thief.
Why is this guy talking about 1v1 in the WvW forum?
probably because people get downed in wvw
The downed stated is kinda stupid. Just a few days ago I was jumped by 3 players and ended up victorious as Guardian? Wanna know how? By abusing the downed state system granted they were terrible players who fails to understand the concept of ressing downed teammates and that I was jumping off cliff side like a crazy plumber.
I pulled random mobs (non-players), got them to low health and reserved killing when im in downed state that way I get the rally ressurection. I managed to do this two times before pulling them to my server zerg.
3 people failed to kill a guardian with double the rally HP debuff that was getting hit by random mobs while fighting them? Sounds like the issue was them being bad more than anything.
Solution – Kill NPC mobs first
If you kill something before vengeance wears out you get to rally. If you don’t, you die.
Correction; If you are Vengeanced and you manage to KILL something, there is a VERY SMALL (5-10%?) chance that you will Rally.
However if you are traited 20 points into Discipline you and get Sweet Revenge it is a 100% chance to rally if you manage to KILL something.
Downed state was the stupidest idea created on earth, making it hard to fight when outnumbered and making it harder (or almost impossible when someone in defending a fort) to kill someone in WvW, unless you want to suicide
I’m fine with downed in PvE, but I really don’t think they should have it in PvP. The time you spend sitting on your butt and chucking rocks at 8 dudes that swarmed you, then trying to port around/knock them down/stall them for a couple more seconds while they power up that finisher could be better spent running back.
My only concern with the downed system is that something like 6/8 classes can avoid being finished off by 1 player, and the other 2 are completely boned the second they go down.
Mannnn some of the best fights I have are when I get into a sick 1v1 in WvW and we are both on the ground flinging poo at each other like apes. Sometimes if it gets really intense I’ll like hit my 2 skill to port behind him and get the poo all up in his hair or I’ll hit 3 to go invisible and make him be all like “whaaaa”.
In fact this adds such an awesome new dimension to my pvp experience I actually use the food that gives me +100% downed health and +20% downed damage, then get that sick trait that gives +50% downed damage. I’ve actually taken to letting noobs down me just so I can get those big crits. Now I crit those pesky rabbits for upwards of 50k while downed. Take that denizens of the forest

Man I don’t know I just laughed so hard I cried
There’s a chance the player leveled when he was down? It’s happened to me, you get credit for taking a keep you just left, or something like that, and bam! You level, full health and up. It’s great! Probably not so great for the guy you’re fighting.
all i want is rangers pet to die when the go into downed state….
