Guild Wars 2

something going on. I just skipped down state on my warrior similar to being in vengeance mode. maybe this a class bug perhaps?

Need more info than this!

Had you been downed a few times before this?

Every time you are downed in rapid succession, the downed state starts with lower and lower health until you are finally instagibbed. Never had this happen on my warrior, but on some the squishier professions I have seen this happen.

So any more details you can give us?

no. was first time going down. instantly defeated.
was doing a small event.
the combat log doesnt tell me anything.

Which event?

I’m certain there have to be some more events out there that instantly kill you. CoF path 2, if you don’t collect all the bombs for Magg within the time limit, everything goes boom and the whole party dies.

Well, I know that dash abilities(such as bulls charge, GS 3 5) can cause you falling damage
while running down the slope… if you were on low HP and used such ability, it could end up fatal(literally running downhill, far from falling but still getting falling damage)

It’s possible that you took damage from an insta-kill ability then took the same damage again from a 2nd insta-kill ability while downed. I’ve seen this happen in SE path 1 while running past the robots.

The culprit could be falling damage.
Bosses that push you are one.
Biggest offender is Risen Priest of Grenth, if you are low on hp and you get thrown up you can get instant killed, no repair bills from that though.

But assside from that I don’t think there is any skill in the game that would kill you from normal hp and first stage downed also.

Need more information. There are plenty of ways you could be “insta-gibbed”. Glitchy fall damage, downed penalty, quick insta-gib chains from bosses (or high burst ones coupled with downed penatly), known waypoint and skill-related glitches… etc.

Gonna need some context before I can try and extrapolate a reason.
