Guild Wars 2

I was on WvW and met an Ele with my necro. I went straight on him and guess what he comboed me from distance and took about about 69% of my HP (21k) almost instantly (my armor is 2350).

crit hit 2,492 w/ Lightning Flash
norm hit 923 w/ Lightning Strike
norm hit 665 w/ Sigil of Blood
crit hit 2,240 w/ Arcane Blast
crit hit 4,046 w/ Phoenix
norm hit 825 w/ Air Attunement
crit hit 3,531 w/ Lightning Strike

the above sums up to : 14,722 in less than one second! Then a couple of more hits and I was down didn’t even have the time to go into shroud.

In a world where nerf is the holy grail of ‘…balance…’ I just can’t believe is this for real? ^^

I have an ss with a 2nd guy lying down dead besides me (came to help) who also died in 2 or 3 seconds after I was stomped. In less than 30" that ele had killed us both.

Regarding my game experience I am the average joe and not claiming I shouldn’t be more careful but… having classes bursting that much in so little time (if it was legit ofc) is a gamebreaker.

*edited wrong % of HP loss

make an ele and log on it and see for yourself the difficulty of pulling/landing that combo perfectly… not to mention that if it doesn’t kill the enemy ele is screwed after

smh now people are asking to nerf zerker eles? LOL the irony

Pretty normal tbh.
I recommend, like the guy above me, create an ele and try this combo yourself.
You will see, that´s high risk for high reward because most eles who are capable of doing that much damage normally give up defense in exchange for damage.

At least this is a very large combo that is hard to pull off. Not one skill that hits for 20k. Easy to break through.

I tried ele and it’s unimaginable some people can survive, I can’t possibly pull out any reasonable dmg – it is so squishy, also I think they should buff weaver because it doesnt seem that great/ strong as tempest.
1) lower cd on the same attument (double tam element) to 1s and to other attument to 3s (I think it is 4s right now)
2) tweak traits ;o during streamers beta – Peachy, Bog we saw some op elementalist’s traits… now I don’t find it competitive/ strong… (rather mediocre) but I dont play ele that much.

Ele doing that kind of damage – most likely dps build
Necro only having 21K hp – most likely dps build

The ele killed you before you killed him. Simple as that. A single autoattack would have taken 50% of his hp. A fresh air stunner basicly only have that initial stunning burst to kill you, or it’s dead.

?
What’s the problem? Any class with zerker gears does the same thing

Like was said before if scepter burst ele fails to kill the target instantly he is as good as dead.

How difficult can this be? when he can land all these skills in about half a second?

I’ve played warrior (main), necro (a lot), revenant and guardian and in all those classes it is impossible to pull such a combo in …500ms.

I got 1 shot by a deadeye skill 4 yesterday on my guardian. 1 skill, oh my! Didn’t even know he was there. It happens, move on and learn how to not let it happen the next time. Or don’t.

Most classes has this kind of combo available to them. Guardians has traps. Thieves has back stab. Warrior has kill shot.

just fyi you get 1 shot because he had full malice stack from someone else. It’s not possible to do so without that.
