Life blast hitting for 5K+ on heavy
A “heavy” doesn’t really specify much. A full glass DPS guardian with no additional armor except just the heavy armor isn’t all that tanky at all. Also was this PvP or WvW, did he have full might, how much vuln did you have, were you sub 50%, etc.
It’s nicknamenick. He posts whine threads about every non-Warrior profession. Probably because he can’t run full Zerker with all damage utilities in PvP or WvW.
That said, if a necro is hitting that hard with Life Blast, he’s probably running full Zerker himself and has some Might stacks with decent vulnerability on his target. If you’re having a problem, try hitting him. Even with that damage per-shot, he’ll still take ~4 seconds to down even the glassiest ele.

3k armor and yes below 50% so hit does 20% more dmg.
He also had 25 bloodlust stacks.. In wvw.
Even with all this i cant recreate it..
@drarnor, not every post is a whine post if its about an other class..
Also if i think something issnt correct i can post it here just like the millions qq post warriors get. So dont blame me if most off the people here do that because it does work (since the qq we only received nerfs)
Not only that but even anet admitted they nerfed warr because the many qq posts
First, I’d like to see where “anet admitted they nerfed warr because the many qq posts.”
Second, you are well within your rights to post these things, but that’s all you’re known for. People won’t take you seriously until you take a step back and really consider the options you have and the implications of changes before posting.
25 Bloodlust stacks, full Guard Leech stacks, Borderland’s Bloodlust, Sharpening Stone, food. Yeah, I can see a 5k hit when you’re below 50%. Especially if it followed a vulnerability burst.
I’ll even leave the food out right now.
25 stacks of Bloodlust and 10 stacks of Might (Blood is Power makes this easy) on Ascended Zerker gear (staff or traited axe as weapon) with Superior Sharpening Stone has Life Blast hitting for an average of 1236 on a non-crit against 2600 armor. Against 3k armor, this is 1071.2
Now, multiply that by 1.05 for Sigil of Force: 1124.76
Times 1.2 for Close to Death: 1349.712
Times 1.05 for Strength of Undeath (5% damage while above 50% life force): 1417.1976
Times 1.25 for Vulnerability (Necros can stack 25 vulnerability well): 1771.497
Times 2.2 for crit: 3897.2934
So, not quite there, but we’re missing a few things: Borderland’s Bloodlust (with Sharpening Stone, a total of 33 power and an additional 2% crit damage easy), Applied Fortitude + Sharpening Stone, and Guard Leech for an additional 143 Power and 2% crit damage. And then factor in food and runes, as well as the high possibility he had more than 10 Might stacks. (such as Reaper’s Might).
In fact, I factor in Boderland’s Bloodlust, Guard Leech, and Applied Fortitude and up the Might stacks to 25, the average Life Blast crit against 3k armor is 6,952.339. This is still without food, runes, or even a complete infusion set, so clearly, there is a lot of room to hit 5k life blasts against 3k armor.
But then again, when you add all of that in, why does any huge hit surprise you?

Power buffing foods/stones. Potent stones and Dragon candy 6% of toughness is Added to Vit.
and Vit boost= more power to the 6% of vit given to power from the sharpening stones.
its a little boost when guard stacks are also applied it boosts it even more.
then when you get below 50% , swap into DS you’ll have +200 power for being below 50% .

On mobile now but its from chris im the " communication with you" topic
i know but it makes me sick that people keep qq about warriors where warrior are kitten easy to kill vs every other class (most of them condi build) yeah yeah its about team play.. Well i like duelling more.
about life blast: well on wiki and when building it in gw2skills i get around 1400 dmg with bloodlusy stacks and full zerkers. Even when counting in the 20% more dmg i just cant reach that high. Not vs 3k armor.. But not sure how much vuln stacks i had..
But if this is possible and always had been i will leave it. Was just thinking of a bug on a AA skill.
I broke down a likely scenario in my above post. Net result is that when you factor in some really common factors, a 5k life blast is actually on the low end of what you can take with 3k armor in WvW. A 7k hit is quite possible, and the highest end is probably 8k, and yes, that’s with 3,000 armor.
This is the result of WvW’s excessive buffs and the multiplicitive nature of direct damage, though.

most of the time it will hit for 2-3k on a heavy at the beginning of the fight, he must have had might and vuln.
if youve ever played a zerk necro then you would realize that they will die almost immediately when skilfully focused because they have no mobility or sustain. take away life blast damage and theres no point. a lot of necros would quit.
