No Down State in Water

Until the classes are properly balanced in water, can players simply drown when they are downed in water rather than go into a downed state? Some classes are ridiculous in water [cough] ranger [cough].

Underwater downstate just feels off in every way even if it was balanced. Being able to move and being immune to stomps is very strange. I agree with OP just remove the thing already, that would make UW combat even more superior to land combat than it already is.

Well, it happened. You finally suggested something I agree with.

Now looking out the window for the extinction event meteor...

It's like real life, the ghost of my childhood pet goldfish saved me from drowning in the tub last week.

Never happened to you? Guess your pets didn't love you enough. That's why you don't put Halloween cosutmes on them.

Honestly, if they fix the pet keep ressing even after you kill it Ranger will stop being "OP" underwater... And personally, I've killed many Rangers underwater with Warrior and Mesmer despite the dumb bug.

I say just remove downstate all together in wvw, that way I don't have to down and stomp your DE thief while 2 others are trying to beat on me.

should just remove down state from WvW and PvP altogether, leave down state for PvE

Better to cleave a thief out than stomp.

noooooo.... don't take away my piranhas that eat you to death when you're downed!!!! They need food too.

Players still jumping into the water after an easy Ranger kill \o/

Me: "Unleash the Piranhas!!!!!"

Tier 1 problems. Water fights don't happen on EBG or DBL. "What are you doing in the center of the map of Alpine" is the real question here.

Only those in blobby T1 matchups fight over bay, bae. Duh. Not a roamer's issue!

it would be better if they remove "downed state" entirely from wvw /pvp, or atleast the goddamn annoying "rally" thing -.- , you downed an enemy, and are about to finish him, but voilá , that enemy farted at one teammate of yours , and other enemies kill your teammate, and by that, your downed enemy is up again C: , what an awful thing

While we're on the subject of water, can we make those new fangled reveal traps usable in water? :)

Despite playing Ele as my main, I support removing downed states in WvW altogether.

And getting downed in or underwater is a really weird thing, once I got stuck after swiming to the surface and reviving myself. I was unable to do anything until I got downed, killed and revived again. (Of course a ranger was somehow involved.) Really a fun experience when your zerg struggles at the inner gate of bay while you can only watch while dead because the game bugged out. Quite frustrating, actually.

Or just make the pet rez much less in the water so 3 people can actually kill the ranger.

Oh and people need to stop being idiots and leaving on the level 14 common spear, upgrade it to level 80 exotic at least, better yet get those legendary sharks going!
