Guild Wars 2

IMO, of course.

- Maximum of 2 rallies per defeated player (no more level 2 pugs rallying the ENTIRE zerg)
– Players can no longer rally off NPCs

That is all.

A step in the right direction, but IMO in WvW they should just remove it. Probably would be a minor improvement to skill lag as well.

Far too much offensive power in WvW to completely remove the downed state mechanic. People would drop like flies in less time than they can humanly react.

Limiting the rally count to 5 would make a lot more sense if you wanted to do something about rallybait.

rallying should only happen after a successful stomp

??? Rally and downed state are two different things. Currently a group can bring down half of an enemy group but that doesn’t matter because if the enemy team does more damage they just rally back. Rally rewards heavy AoE and heavy offense. I have zero problem with a team stopping and bringing back downed state players via healing.

Zombie groups that run ridiculous amounts of banner warriors and rely on rallies to constantly reform can border on the ridiculous.

Haha fair enough, I completely misread.
