Guild Wars 2

Will killing the elemental make the downed player rally?

If it times out, it will rally the opponent. I have not tested if it rallies when it is killed.

I tested in structured pvp today.
Neither when my elemental was killed, or when the duration ran out, did the enemy player rally.
Hopefully its the same in WvW.

I think the ruleset is just different in WvW or it was changed since last year:

Unless that Elementalist rallied off something else randomly, but no mobs were nearby.

Tested it today by accident. I was dueling another Elementalist and downed him, while I was finishing him, he rallied. I don’t believe he managed to kill my Elemental (it was fairly healthy) so his rally, just the moment my Elemental disappeared, must have been because of it… No other players in sight, it was a 1vs1 battle in sPVP so it is impossible that he rallied in any other way possible.

To clarify: I was using the Glyph of Elementals (the ELITE) not the utility skill, perhaps they work differently.

That is one large archilles heel.

That’s something preventing me from using my Elementals for a long time now and in my opinion this should be fixed as soon as possible.

Clearly this is currently not working as intended: I can’t rally by killing Mesmer clones, “Thief NPCs”, Ranger pets. etc. So why should others rally on respawn or kill of my Elementals…?

I really liked using both (Utility and Elite) in PvE and PvP, but when I noticed this issue, I stopped using them immediately, for I’m mainly doing PvP/WvW at the moment.

A fix would be really nice! Or has it already been fixed in the last patch? (Couldn’t test it so far)

it happened to me once.. definitely needs to be fixed.

This was fixed I believe or at least I haven’t noticed it ever again since the latest patch

When it happened to me, it was on an Elementalist in Vapor Form. The patch on the 28th had this change:

Vapor Form: This skill will no longer allow players to rally off of kills that grant zero experience. This skill will now also properly restore death state on completion.

So, yeah – unless I see it again, I’m fairly sure it’s been fixed.

Same here, when it happened to me it was an Elementalist in Vapor Form that got rallied. I’ve fought Eles after patch and never saw something similar so hopefully the patch worked
