Petition to make Vault finish downs

[Venport.3925]

reasoning: 
1. its cool

2. why not

if it would be op to make it the whole area you could just do like, the direct middle

[TrollingDemigod.3041]

Reasons to not do that:

1. It's already busted skill.
2. Look at point 1.
3. Look at point 2.

It is ideas like this that make me glad ANET ignores the forums when it comes to balance ideas.

I'm not enthusiastic about the specifics, but I do think it's the kernel of a good idea. The Daredevil elite finishing downs is pretty cool but it suffers from the problem that you have to preemptively "charge it up" to really get good value out of it.

Negotiate high, then let em barter you down to what you were going for in the first place. Pretty slick, like something a thief would do.

Of course, no.

That'd be insane. Fast finishers are supposed to be elites that still have some form of tell and counterplay, not a relatively fast weapon skill that is mostly covered by an evade and can be repeated immediately if it somehow fails. If you want a quick finisher on daredevil, invest in the elite.

[Doggie.3184]

No because they'd nerf it more. Make the elite skill better^^ (Finishing Blow should also do increased damage to low health enemies in PvE)

[Zacchary.6183]

Absolutely not. It is an aoe that can be chained. Adding a finisher effect is begging for severe nerfs.

True, this idea doesn't make any sense.

Hahaha I voted yes, but 100% it would be way too overpowered 😅

[Recursivision.2367]

I don't think it should outright finish downs, but I think there should be more skills that do finish or have increased damage vs downs. I think vault is a good candidate for the latter. Make it do 20-50% extra damage vs downs.

While we're at it, make impact strike a simple AoE down finisher too.

Doesn't Daredevil already have a skill that can insta kill downs? Your idea wouldn't work because it's far too easy to spam it.

I voted no although I'd find it hilarious if they did do this. I'd say it would probably have to only finish one down and only if they're already down when it hits, anything more would be waaaaay too much and even that might be too much already. Honestly this might be better suited as a trait effect as well, not a baseline.

the elite can down people one the final hit and is 1/2 as slow as a normal finish

no one uses it because thief's guild and dagger storm are way better elites
