Necro's Siphon does absurdly high damage and can keep it alive for quite some time.Guard can revive itself and others if they're close enough with it's AOE heal.Mesmer can one shot people with their Phantasm if they're glassy.Revenant does pretty decent damage with it's 1 skills that also Slow, and has another skill that hits quite hard.Ranger can basically infinitely revive itself while under water. It's very annoying on land as well if they stun you while you're trying to stop the revive.Warrior can literally get back up and kill you, and if RNGeezus blesses them they'll survive if they win.Ele has Mistform. Enough said about that tbh.

I'd put it between Ranger and Necro for best downed state skills. Although all of Necro's require a target, the AOE Poison field is quite damaging and the Siphon is ridiculous. Ranger can CC you for a week and a half if it's running the right pets/traits and can get itself back up too.Thief also has rather good downed DPS if they're using a condition build. As you said, pretty much everybody has gimmicks that work out well for them when they're on the floor... except maybe Engineer, I think they may be a bit underpowered in that department.
