Guild Wars 2

Hi,
in my experience the elementalist utility “Glyph of Ressurection” is not working. I tried to use it on downed NPCs in my personal story some times, which had no effect.
Killed players can’t be revived either.
It might work on downed players, but i tried to test it a lot and it is quite hard to time it right – due to the castingtime of the glyph, you need to use it before the player is even down you are still too late sometimes (or the glyph just failed because the player healed up).

Do i have to have my target selected or does it just chooses the nearest valid target?
If i am missing something, i would appreciate an explanation how this is supposed to work

It should be working on defeated state othwerwise it is as useless as a empty skill slot. Long cast time, long cd, toooo situational

I also have a res skill on my necro, and it does not work on defeated players. It only works on downed state, if it wasnt also a passive I probably wouldn’t use it. Only really good for world bosses, but the cooldown is huge…. so.. not the best.
