Guild Wars 2

I propose: put the auto-revive buff on the target, not the caster.

In response to the balance changes I’d like to put this change forward, seeing as the fire attunement effect on this skill is problematic.

The current problem for the caster is, if you are likely to be downed it’s during the cast. If you survive the cast you are likely not going to be downed in the 15s of the buff, and you wouldn’t want to deliberately take advantage of the auto-rez because you’d face losing stacks etc.

I’m most actively using this skill in the Silverwastes to rez keep lords, either in water for a full heal or earth for multi-target rez if there’s a few other npcs obscuring the corpse, rarely the air version to pull the body out of danger but never the fire version.

If the fire version puts the auto-rez buff on the target then they get a 15s grace period in which they will get a second rez if they are quickly downed again. That seems like a decent option to have, competing with the other attunement effects.
