Guild Wars 2

Btw this is my first time playing guild wars, my mmo path has been EQ > WOW > LOTRO > AOC > WarHammer > PerfectWorld > Rift > GW2. So I’m still wrapping my head around the “no roles” situation, also combat avoidance is a big one, I’m still struggling with when to dodge and still working to figure out what to look for.

Tayanitas – 51 warrior – Anvil Rock

finally the light bulb goes off, I had no idea!!! I’m sure I never looked very closely at the tooltips on those downed abilities /bonk myself. Thanks so much guys for taking the time to help me with this. Knowing how easy this will be to avoid makes me happy! I had sort of noticed that when downed hitting 3 would bring you right up… and then right back down apparently Today I will be out taking a much closer look at those tooltips!

Thanks all!

oh btw, there is never a “rally” option, when this kills ya, its return to waypoint always.

the instant that screenshot went off I was dead, had no time to get a mouseover tooltip on that icon, I had just logged in, left camp and attacked that bird, whack dead to fire. I went back and tried again and got the screenshot you see there. happened 2 of 2 times. I’ll keep going back and see if I can get a tooltip on it. but tomorrow tired now, thnx for the help guys!

Well, went back out and got a screenshot of it happening with the combat window open. The mob had just died and that effect was on me, 1 second after the screenshot I died to it. Also the combat window right after I died doesn’t show me any message relating to what killed me.

I have been looking for that, and any other clues as to what happens, it happened several times during gameplay tonight. I ended the night dying to it trying a skill point challenge. I saw the fire effect on me, fired off 3 cure condition abilities, all to no avail.

Probably the most interesting part is that with the exception of Mapokl nobody else seems to know what I’m talking about LOL.

I really wish there was a way (perhaps there is?) to get more info out of the combat window, it doesnt seem to show “you’ve been afflicted with X”… “you have been hit with a bazillion points of fire damage from X”… I have looked but don’t see detailed info?

I will keep looking, thnx for the help guys

Ive gotten this burning occasionally from ordinary fights also, and yes, im a warrior, lvl 49 atm. it definately does not get removed with any trait that removes or cures conditions, I just don’t understand. I will just be fighting away, doing whatever, and then some mob puts this fire on me, and then no matter what I do, it will kill me, there has never been an exception to this, it’s happened dozens of times. I’m clueless

I frequently encounter a fire that gets applied to me in combat, cure all conditions will not remove it, once I have this effect it will kill me no matter what my health state is, I put every ability that cures and removes conditions out there, none seem to stop this fire. Any help will be much appreciated it is frustrating. Once I see that fire effect on my character I know it’s gonna kill me, the fight can end, can heal myself all up, fire of as many cure conditions as I have available, all to no avail.

Here’s to hoping someone has an answer, or can explain how to avoid it

Cheers!
