Guild Wars 2

Anyone else find the spells when downed to be far too weak? The life drain does measly amounts of damage (therefore measly drain), the fear is decent, but the poison that we have to wait for is pathetic. They either need rescaling in terms of damage, or remade entirely, as right now Necro can barely do a thing when downed.

not at all. with my power build and the 50% downed damage trait i usually hit people for 300-500 damage per tick. the ticks are also extremely fast they look like they are maybe 3 hits per second. combined with fiery blast procs you can do quite alot of damage while downed. death nova also hit for 1k+ and crits for 1.4-2k damage while leaving a poison debuff. I’ve downed plenty of people just from downed state this week alone. No one should beat you downed state vs downed unless it’s a warrior because of vengence. if it was buffed any more it could risk power crit builds like mine having better dps while downed then while standing which would be totally off.
