Guild Wars 2

Is it just me…
for whom our downed state knockdown doesnt work 50% of the time ?
Half the time i use that thing… i have a clear LoS to my target… i am not blinded… and target doesnt have stability… it simply does nothing.
I see it connecting to the enemy player… but it fails to do anything, damage or knockdown.
I find it really hard to be able to compete with a shallow and in some terms plain broken class like the warrior when even our downed state fails [ not even talking about vengeance meta…. oh boi ].

No, I’ve noticed it too and I’m brand new to the warrior. It only seems to work for me in PvE (sometimes), and in WvW it doesn’t ever really seem to work, and no I’m not dying before it finishes casting.

I haven’t noticed the Hammer knockdown failing. It always seems to work for me.
I usually use in in WvW when someone tries to finish me off. Sadly, if they try to finish me right away, I have to pop the hammer throw right away, and I try to use Vengeance only to be stomped a split second before Vengeance’s casting completes!

And that’s why our downed state needs a buff…

Happens a lot of times. In the past patches warrior downstate was even worst for me. Imagine when you are with your health half full or more in downed state mode and you press vengeance… and you die… Went to see the combat log and nothing was there to justify that and no banner near your corpse so you know that nobody in stealth finish you off. This happened to me a lot of times but its better now. Throw rock don’t work 50% of times (or more) and when someone put me in downstate mode the menu with the skills takes ages to show on the screen and i don’t have time to use throw rock on anyone because the animation is too slow. The camera 50% of times put me looking on the opposite direction of who put me in downed state so i need to rotate the camera to select the opponent. When you are in DS mode and are looking for a weak and low health target and you click on it, if another player is near him a usually get the other player targeted. Lots of things are wrong with Downed state of the warrior.
