Guild Wars 2

I noticed today while playing my warrior toon that damage numbers just don’t add up and seem to have diminishing returns on burst damage. Here’s the situation – I was auto attacking a mob (reg mob outside of any event), each hit doing about 500 damage after 12 hits approximately 6k damage the mob dies. I’m using duel axes, same mob I do attack 5 “whirling axe” the total successive damage is well over 6k more towards 10k…and the mob is only at about half health each time….the numbers just don’t add up.

This is general discussion, not players helping players…

And it’s really annoying because the same thing was asked yesterday, also here, with the exact same wording…

The final big number is the combined damage you’ve dealt, not the individual damages pop up, but a counter.
