Guild Wars 2

I’m confused about this. I was hit for 23,735 with life siphon. It almost one shot me. It said it was life siphon, but is this some one shot mechanic I’m not aware of? I never even saw the thing, just bam and almost my entire life is gone.

Seems rather excessive…

Are you a 100% balls to the wall zerker?

23,735 HP is much more than I have on my decidedly non-zerker guardian. Even if I have a bit more toughness than zerker build, I build around being able to heal up continuously, and this thing will just burst me down.
Your point being?

I cant even get that much HP on a guard w/o sentinial gear

it also says life siphon, so non physical, so its an armour bypass damage :P

Not sure if/how it matters, but are you upleveled? I noticed that on my upleveled thief (actual 64) that I was taking way more damage per hit than I was with my exotic geared engi.

life siphon is physical, at least the necro one is.

EHRMEGERD, Mad King jokes you hard !

Someone asked if I was full zerker, and no.

Currently I have 3109 armor, see the attachment.
