Guild Wars 2

Many times over the past couple week I’m in WvW, get killed (fight for life thing). I no sooner hit the ground and the enemy has done the final death blow killing me in 1 sec to wait for a rez or respawn.

Its like I hit the ground and dead in 1sec later.
Not all deaths are like that but seen more then my fair share to wonder if something is going on.

Anyone else notice this?

Are you sure your enemy wasn’t under effect of quickness? You rarely will be able to react to the finish blow in that case as it’s fast as hell…

Also you die automatically if you are with 3 downed penalities already, without Fight for Survive. Check the icon in the left side of your Health Globe.

This is quickness put on weapons by players. It increases stomp time to about a second and a half. It’s so quick that the server takes another half second to a second to realize it’s happened before awarding rewards.

Heard about it but did not know it effected the final death blow due to the animation never showing a weapon, just the hands with a flag pole thing.

Affect absolutely EVERYTHING, including ressing/finishing people faster.
