Guild Wars 2

Jon Peters mentioned in response my question on a Twitch stream today that he and Powerr tested the downstate health in sPvP, Pve and WvW yesterday May 10th and they felt there was no bug with our downstate heath. That may be the end of the issue as far as ArenaNet is concerned.

My main is a thief, my alt a necro. When I discovered this I was like “How are they not making a big deal about this?!”

How is this even possible? The difference in down state health between my Necro and Ele, another light armor class, is like night and day. It’s not even close. My Ele can take 2 to 3 times more damage when downed than my Necro.

I wonder what methods they used to test that, and how they reached that conclusion.

Keyword here is “Felt”….. You dont have numbers to bring it up? Show us numbers then, so that we can compare Combat log, health gained etc.

We have numerous tests that proved we have 1/3 health in downed state compared to others classes, and yet it’s been brought to this…

Even for me, there’s a limit to masochism.

Ahahahahaha! Oh man!

Just came back from a 30 min WvW roaming with my friend who’s playing thief. We encounter 2 thiefs, down 1, gets him to almost half downed hp (can’t stomp), almost down the other, they managed to down me, I’m dead before my friend can either kill the thief or down the other. Each time I watch my combat log after my deaths I’ve suffered max 20k damage from all their abilities (Sometimes less even though I know the combat log isn’t that good). This is not a problem on my others professions, where we are supposed to have like 60k. I am not getting stomp on this profession, just burned down by crazy burst.

I hate to shelve him for now because I love the playstyle, but the frustration is building up and it kills a lot of the fun of small groups encounter we so frequently have on my tier, even more so by knowing we might not be bugged according to Anet. We really need to bring this up until the problem is acknowledged and fixed.

How can they say this isnt a bug? We didnt have this issue several months ago.

LOL at Anet. Guarantee you if a thief or memser experienced this, they would be all over it, babying their two favorite classes. I lost trust in Jon Peters back when he told the necro community to learn to death shroud.

I fully 1v1 killed veteren flying medusa thingy with my guardian on Solid Ocean Fractal while being downed 100% of the fight. When i go downed with my necro i usually go down for good in next second most of the time.. however i dont play with my necro anymore ^^

“Felt” is not proof of the bug lacking existence. If members can take the time to mathematically find the evidence of the necro’s downed health, then surely a dev can spare a couple of minutes. We don’t even know if Jon Peters was in a level 80 zone, WvW, or even if PvP (because it works in PvP). Sigh…

its pretty clear that guardian is one of their favourite classes…

kitten all the testing and proving would be completely unnecessary with a less kitten UI.

I think money is the only real class they care about anymore

So we “Necros” have weak 2-3 options when downed and 1/3 less health.

I wouldn’t call our downed state skills “weak” in any sense of the world. Our downed fear’s worst part is the casting time, but you can still get it off even before a quickness stomp hits you. The #3 hits HARD as well.

Ask, and you shall receive. (Kinda. It’s hardly “proof”, but I feel it’s sufficient evidence to warrant a Developer’s investigation).
