Guild Wars 2

Mesmers can use the ‘Moa Morph’ elite skill on an opponent in Downed state. Is this a bug or does it work as intended?

I am asking because it made my teammate untargettable – I couldn’t heal him out of his downed state. But he could still use his class abilities, while the Moa is supposed to switch those out.

Woah. O_o That’s… creative and probably non-intended.
Tell us, did your friend automatically died/went do down again after getting back to normal?

I’m pretty sure that’s not intended either. To be honest, they might as well give us another elite instead of nerfing moa morph anymore. I don’t even know of any mesmers that still use it.

I tend to like getting Moa’d in PvP, it’s like getting a free Ride the Lightning :-P

Actually, he was in downed state for at least 2 secs when the Mesmer used the elite skill on him.

He remained in downed state: could use his class downed state abilities, but I could not heal him out of downed state and I don’t think he could be stomped by the enemies.
So the Mesmer and an Ele simply damaged him until he died. As far as I can tell, they purposefully used it to hold the point.

The point is his abilities were not swapped out to the Moa’s. He became a sitting duck, if you will.

I know what you were referring to. I was more commenting to Shimmerless.

You might want to attempt to reproduce this and, if it holds true, post it on the bug forums.
