Guild Wars 2

This video shows a Guardian hitting an Arah P3 boss for 56k damage with Whirling Wrath and 10k auto-attacks.

I am wondering, is there something special about this boss that makes him take higher damage?

Because i tried going full zerker with all the buffs and the same build in the video against a boss like Aldus Stormbringer from HotW P1 and I am nowhere close to reaching 56k with one Whirling Wrath or 10k with an auto-attack. Is there something I am doing wrong? Am I supposed to consistently be able to hit 10k with auto-attacks on every dungeon boss?

His and his party’s setup was entirely geared towards making him do the most damage. This should not be common in any regular party especially in pugs.

I think this boss has very low armor and that is why it takes so much damage.

Can anyone else please confirm if this boss has very low armor?

Yes this boss has low something.

That boss has light armor so takes more damage. Other things in lvl 80 dungeons have light armor as well, like the evolved destroyer, but the mage crusher is easier to get to and to reset than the destroyer.

For that vid, obal had a max dps build, prec infusions, prec stack, the best food and potion, max might, max vuln, fury, a traited frost spirit, an untraited frost spirit, empower allies and banner of disc and banner of strength boosting him as well, if I remember that day correctly. He’s also as much inside the mage crusher’kitten box as he can so that he maximizes the amount of times that the attack hits.

A lot went into setting that up, don’t expect to do it causally in every run.

It’s fine, mang, just do your 20-30k and be happy.

It looks like he also used a strength booster as well.

I understand, thank you for letting me know this.

This means that this video is as relevant to Guardian DPS as hitting a rabbit for 5 million or hitting Gaheron Baelfire for 0.

Yea, pretty much. It was just a ‘lets see how high a number my build can hit’ kind of thing.
