Great when you're already on the server (with full pop per map) but pretty crummy if you're not.To be fair, when playing with an actual squad (i.e having FBs) there's plenty of room for ressing in a pinch or even things like Illusion of Life to salvage the aftermath of a condi bomb. But with no downed state it's all fun and games, just bring full scourge+FB and laugh at everyone else on the map Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TinkTinkPOOF.9201 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Wow, looks like I will be spending lots of time in WvW this week. I love the sweet tears of those who lose 5vs1 because they can't keep resing each other and fumble clicking their skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawdler.8521 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 9 out of 10 times the function gyro will fail anyway due to being too slow, frail and stabless. So no downed would still be a net gain if you're just looking at the what happens when the enemy go down.As usual, this event will heavily favor frontloaded dps and already skilled players that would probably have won regardless, but sure there are still situations where it could be useful.

This is also a glass cannon vs tank kind of week. You go full glass and you have good odds of dropping them but when they hit the tank then they have a little surprise coming. It's also a good balance time of havoc vs zerg since you have good odds of swinging in and taking a number of them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vova.2640 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Going to be a terrible week for any squishy class...I don't really understand why people like this event. All it does is it makes any class that does not have 20k+ hp and a bunch of passive defenses useless for a week.Such a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excursion.9752 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 I partially play this all the time anyway no big deal here. If I go down I never plan to get back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All it does is it makes any class that does not have 20k+ hp and a bunch of passive defenses useless for a week.Such a shame.No it doesn't.It makes bad unaware players useless for a week. It also evens out skilled play vs outnumbered gank squads even more.1vs1 before and after this event are the same, as whoever downs the other first would get the stomp. So build and class etc etc doesn't change, what changes is skill level vs numbers, as it will now be possible to focus a target, kill them and move onto the next. While before, you down someone and you had to make the choice to eat a bomb to stomp, often means getting killed before the stomp finishes or they would res the down which can be done faster than a stomp and you can't DPS through the heals.Gank squads suffer the most here, where they are of lower skill and require more numbers to win. I face gank squads all the time, and I can down any one of them, but never finish. Those same squads on the last no down state event I wiped all 4 of them solo as I didn't have to secure the down with a stomp or DPS as downed state favors greater numbers.
