Guild Wars 2

O . o

Compaired to some of the other downed state skills (looking at dat engi) whats the point of this lil skill XD

I mean I really don’t remember it having this life-saving moment when I used it. It’s really not that helpful. It always feels like that final “eh! take that!” before I get stomped. lol

Is there maybe something else we can think of that might be more helpful? XP

It was intended to help you tag something for a rally I guess. In reality it is down right the worst 3 skill. Engi gets an interrupt, warrior gets a temp res, ranger and guard get downed heals, ele gets an immobilize, thief gets invis, Mesmer gets a strong single target nuke.

Necro and Mesmer are the only two that have literally zero chance to help you back up without a dying opponent rally.

However, Fetid Ground hits surprisingly hard. In PvP/WvW, it’s all but useless as it’s rarely off cooldown before you get stomped. It’s pretty good against NPC’s, though.

Really helps you win those downed fights, though, so long as you aren’t against a warrior.

little known fact:
tagging everything in reach to maybe rally off it is the real necro class skill

In PVE its great because enemies don’t move out of it, and the poison negates their health regen so that Life Leech is more effective.

" always feels like that final “eh! take that!"

^^ this..

I only thought this skill was nice when I and my enemy go down at about the same time; as said, it hits quite hard.
