Hi,

i really enjoy WvWvW atm and running around in a small group or full group away from the big zerg (partly because my computer can’t really handle the big zerg stuff). And i also like that there are objectives that you can easily take with 2-5 people like supply camps or killing Dolyaks, etc.
However what i really dislike is downed abilities number 2 and 3 for most classes. An example would be 3 people engage on 5 or 6 people and manage to down 3 of them, they don’t have time to really finish them without taking alot of damage and it would be unwise to finish for example a thief or mesmer because they can just teleport away. I do realize that these abilities might work in sPvP but in WvWvW i think the damage ability and self healing ability are enough and would make for a better experiance for small groups. I doubt it would change alot for zerg fights.
Please discuss.

The problem is, if you cannot finish a group “fast” there will be reinforcements, with the maps being fairly small and basically everything is next to some spawn.

I have to agree. The down state needs to be reworked in WvW. I think the best thing to do would be to, at the very least, rework the rally mechanism. Nothing worse than agroing NPCs while you’re fighting only to watch the enemy rally 3 times.

Which maps are small and have that many respawn points? Every Borderlands map Ive ever been on, dying meant a fairly long run ahead of me if I don’t get a hand up.
