Guild Wars 2

Odd title, allow me to explain.
Was playing sPvP on Forest of Nifhel, as a necro dueling Chieftain Utahein. Probably relevant information: I was running rune of the afflicted 6/6 (+ downed traits, hilarity is ensured). Chieftain downed me, but that triggered the death nova killing him. What happened: I rallied immediately more or less, before my body even hit the floor.
The result: I was standing up normally, but could not move or use skills and the game told me (blue background + white ankh pictogram) I was still downed. Didn’t have the downed abilities though, so I was effectively stuck with no options at all. So after standing over dead Utahein for about 30 sec I got annihilated by some warrior.

Was pretty weird. I suppose this would happen everytime you kill (not: down) some1 with death nova.

Hey at least you have a useful downed state, elementalists have the, turn into mist for 5 seconds, travel halfway accross the world and every single monster in the area follows you even if its well past their leash point just to kill you.
