Guild Wars 2

For some reason there’s a chance when i go down as elementalist that i spawn with only like 5-20% health-bar of downedstate. Any1 else had this problem?

No but you could be more specific as to where this occurs so others can test it.

Well it occurs randomly, in pvp and pve just totally random. Can’t really tell how i got it specifically, but it happened multiple times that i get downed with just 10-20% downed health. Even without pressure in pve it sometimes happens. (No death penalty, played this game long enough to note that.) It’s just random, but annoys me in pvp when i instantly die out in downstate without even seeing my skills.

After you mist form ?

Not really, running signet of air/lightning flash/arcana wave, i got downed by an engineer in downstate and 2 other people around in downstate, before i hit the floor i was already dead. Also randomly occurs in other situations in pve for example in a bossfight, where boss downed me and i started downstate with 10% health (No downed penalty)

It did not happen to me apparently. You got any conditions applied to you prior?

I’ve had that happen, I always thought it was just a random heavy hit that just happened to hit me right as I was downed which should be impossible because I always get the invulnerable notification when I hit someone in pvp who’s going into downed state.

Is it confirmed that it is only the elementalist?

I believe that each time you are downed you receive a debuff to your downed HP, which is not displayed on the UI, does stack, but does dissipate over time. Basically, the more you are downed in a short period of time, the less downed health you have on each subsequent down.

I’m not sure how long these last or what percentage per stack, but it’s possible this might be what you have noticed.

Yes, I forgot about this. If you get downed successively, your downed hp will decrease dramatically. This is to prevent constant rallying through monsters and such.

Well, i know about death penalty in pve, but it’s more like having 0 death penalty and instantly getting 20% downed health or… in pvp… where there is no death penalty… Really hate it that full enemy team could rally of me because of being instant-killed in down (No illusion of life or any other buff that would kill me) Couldn’t even see a skill happen.
Trust me, if it was death penalty in pve i would notice, but it’s not a huge issue there. My problem is when it randomly happens in pvp.

death penalty only becomes as dangerous after being downed 5+ times. Not randomly like this. I’ve experienced both and I hadn’t thought much of it but yea it could definately be a bug.

Death penalty is instant-dead after dying 3times in short period (Gray – Yellow – Red – death), Like i said tho… 0 Death penalty and it even happens in pvp (No death-penalties). Guess we get some new bugs after a while :P

I’ve had this bug before. Got downed and had about 5% health left, once i even died instantly. Not just eles though, happened to a guardian in my dungeon group.

And no, It’s not a downed penalty, I’ve played this game enough to know what that is. :P

I’m pretty sure there is death penalty in pvp. Eles used to complain about insta dying after using vapour form to escape when they had been downed before (you know, when eles were on the underpowered side, and people would only stop by our forums to sneer that thieves weren’t op).
