Downed penalty
From Guild Wars 2 Wiki
This article is about the result of getting repeatedly downed. For the armor damage system, see Armor#Repair.
“— In-game description
Each time you are downed, you earn one point of downed penalty that lasts for 60 seconds. For each point, your initial health bar is reduced by 25%. Characters that accumulate four penalty points are automatically defeated, i.e. if you are downed four times within a minute, you do not have a chance to rally.
You can see how much penalty you have accumulated by looking at the icon at the bottom left of the health orb after rallying.
| Icon | # points | Health on next down |
|---|---|---|
| NA | 1 | 75% |
 |
2 | 50% |
 |
3 | 25% |
 |
4 | 0% = defeated |
[edit] Notes
- Although the icon appears as soon as you're downed, the normal GUI changes too fast to the downed GUI for most people to notice.
Anomaly.The tooltip suggests that the penalty applies the next time you become downed, rather than taking effect immediately.
[edit] Trivia
- The equivalent mechanic in Guild Wars 1 is called Death Penalty
