Guild Wars 2

BillFreist.1527:

Next release will make world boss attack targets crittable. I made sure of that.

While you’re making stats not useless at World Bosses, any chance you can make Toughness and Vitality not useless at Golem Mk II (since the electrified floors do percentage-based damage)?

No no, much of that happened while I was still up.

The video shows the following:
- I had max health, 12,324 at the beginning of the video.
- One of the hounds bites me for 4445 and poisons+bleeds me, bringing me down to 7,879. This is the first attack shown on the combat log.
- Poison ticks for 180, and bleed ticks for 90, bringing me down to 7,609, after which I use Cleansing Flame to remove the two conditions.
- A hound leaps on me for 4606, knocking me down and bringing me down to 3,003. This is the second attack on the log.
- Before I can get back up that same hound bites me for 4149 (with two invuln messages), downing me. This is the third attack.
- I lose 924 downed health presumably due to degeneration from being downed.
- Another hound leaps on me for 4181 and I also take another tick of 924 degeneration, which defeats me. This the fourth and final attack that shows up on the log.

As far as I know, unless things have changed, your maximum downed health is equal to three times your normal maximum health so I should have about 27729 downed health (75% of 3 × 12324), more than enough to withstand the damage I took.

Actually, using frame advance on the video I took, when I was downed I only had 5,675 downed health (please see attached photo), about 15% of my downed health bar. So it was not a result of the hound but rather the game not giving me the right amount of downed health that caused me to instadie. In any case, it definitely looks like a bug to me.

I was running path 2 of CoE with guildies today on my level 80 ele when I get knocked down and then downed by an elite nightmare hound on the way to the evolved husk room. I had no downed penalty prior to this. Before I even get a chance to fight back another hound leaps on me for 4181 damage and a husk puts a fire field down for 924 (+568 burning damage; this attack doesn’t show up on the combat log) which somehow puts me in defeated state. My max health is 12324 so there is no way that the 5600 or so damage would be enough to defeat me from 75% downed health.

Here’s a video of what happened from my point of view.

I’m going to guess that this is a bug (hence, why I posted it here). Is that correct?

Since the patches on Tuesday I’ve noticed that I haven’t been able to heal others around me when using either Power Return or Ether Feast with 6 Superior Runes of the Water equipped. I imagine other healing skills won’t work, either.

Any help on a resolution would be appreciated.

And before I’m asked:

- Yes, I made sure that I have all 6 runes equipped (the game shows 7/6 since my breather has one too)
- Yes, I made sure the allies around me were actually hurt when using the healing skill.
- Yes, I made sure to test to see if it was still on cooldown, but even the first Power Return/Ether Feast used in several minutes (or even hours) failed to heal anyone who was hurt.

I also bought 25 keys and didn’t get them in the mail. Glad to know it’s not just me having this problem.

EDIT: Deleted some of my mail and it worked; strange, though, since it only said 7/10 messages.
