Guild Wars 2

So, I was really looking forward to the Scrapper, playing mobile support, and caving in a head or two with a hammer (or gigantic pipe wrench).

However, and I’m probably a total moron, but I cannot get my Function Gyro to work, at all. A friendly will go down, I’ll select them stand roughly ten-fifteen feet away (well within the range of 900), and press F, my ‘Interact/Revive/Jack-of-All-Trades’ keybind. Instead of doing something useful, like reviving them, I stand there looking like an idiot, doing nothing. The same thing happens for both players and NPC’s.

Is there some super-secret method to getting the Function Gyro to actually function?

I’ve used it successfully, but it is hard to find the “sweet spot” where it prompts you to use the Gyro. It’s a common complain on this forum, hopefully Anet will introduce a fix. It’s pretty cool and res’s fast.

don’t forget you can only rez a person at range with function gyro once every 20 seconds. It has a 20 second coldown. So if a person goes down too much or many people are going down, you will have to manually rez.

Also it only revives DOWNED people, not DEFEATED ones.
So it will never work on npcs.

For downed people I just double click them honestly.

Yeah I don’t get it either. I played a lot of pvp and such but I couldn’t understand what it’s doing (probably nothing) or how to get it to work. Somebody told me a button is supposed to appear but I’ve never seen it.

Edit: I use “Search and Rescue” on my Ranger which seems very similar and that works great.

Ok so here’s how it works: Currently the function gyro is predisposed to finishers not revives. This IS an unintended preference, I am sure.

To get it to work with revivals at the moment, (again only works on DOWNED, not dead, so usually npcs are out), have target selected and run at them. You usually will only see function gyro appear when you are IN RANGE to revive him by hand, but it will typically pop up there and you can run along on your way.

Oh god, every time I think about it feels worse and worse.
