9.8k air rune crit…. I killed the downed ele in a down fight before he could mist form.

For the love of god, I’m all for taking it slow for balance, but this is BLATANTLY broken and has been growing in popularity for a kitten good reason.

Ok, so you have +50% downed damage, and the target was a glass cannon elementalist, you definitely scored a critical Lightning Strike, I base the glass cannon ele off of your 2k crits with ToK (and the fact that mine crit for 2k against glass cannons), but the highest LS crit I’ve managed to get is 4.9k with the +50% damage… which still stumps me as to how you got a 9.8k crit. TO THE DATA GATHERING ROOM!

Bam, 13k lol I’ve got a 7k one somewhere as well as a few others. Had some 9k ones too. I think usually they are anywhere from 1200 to 4k.
I think +damage% stacks in a very odd way in this game and is the culprit for many woes currently. I made a max glass thief just for shiggles and I’m running around doing 5-6k clusterbombs on a regular enough basis.

1-2K is still pushing it (IMO) but acceptable. Anything higher than that is ridiculous. Adding an element of randomness to a fight is fine, but it should be crafted such that it is rarely the determining factor of a fight.

But, that is just common sense. Isn’t it?

Since it’s a thief and he was downed by a necro

Most likely downed state +50% damage and all the other +% damage thieves get.

Haven’t seen 13k yet, but I’ve killed a glass mesmer with a 9k crit while downed.

yea, I had the 50% downed damage trait as well as executioner. But even a 2-6k lightning strike in a fight is a HUGE deal given it’s extremely high proc chance and short cooldown. That’s not even counting its massive benefit to classes with percent damage increases in comparison with the others.

It’s clearly unintended and just straight up sad.

Can anyone post a build that’s registering these crits? So far the highest one I’ve had all afternoon has been around 1.5k, and that is running a full glass spec. Just curious if it’s a random glitch thing or if it’s in the actual programming for the proc.

i think it must be something really rare!
like having the lighting strike be a crit, and be full crit dmg thief, with schollar rune set or something + hitting the target from behind + prolly being stealthed

Well it’s an unfortunate that so many post screenshots on this board in the name of something happening “all the time” and yet so few can re-create it… and they never post a build.

I remember a post back on FIFA 07 where someone posted a video of someone scoring from half-field and saying “game is lame, this happens every match”.

It doesn’t.

Obviously it needs to be fixed if it occasionally procs for that much, but making a post about it as if it’s breaking the game in half is a little over-dramatic, when it doesn’t seem to happen nearly as often as the OP would make it seem.

Yeah its stupid strong, the more I play GW2 the more I wonder what where they thinking?

Remove healers OK fine Im good with that.

Make damage and burst faster then any MMO I have ever played…. yeah that might be problem with no healers and very limited stunbreaks (for some classes).

I tested the runes lighting is out of control so is the flameblast.

Sorry for double post… Ele was running flame blast it doubled on me all the time and a war with lighting rune also doubled on me all the time. Im kind of tanky always 1700 toughness at least with 26k health here I think.

Yes I ate the full HB stun break was down… and Im not crying about HB seen it comming but had no answer at the time… still I would of lived to respond if not for the procs GG.

Well… i know the perfect rune for my shortbow hunter.

Weapons use Sigils. Sigil of Air is Fine. It’s the Rune of Air proc that’s over the top. I don’t think there’s any doubt it will get nerfed eventually.

Yeah did you look at the screen shot… 6.4k? That was a glass cannon HB war. The runes proc alot they work great with a glass cannon because nothing is going to live past a glass cannon busrt + a proc. Its instant death did not help my mark of blood a week kitten 300 damage attack proced the eles runes also.

10k damage from procs instantly

Again 10k damage from procs instantly its happened multiple games on the server ele was burst dagger dagger war was burst HB. Dont get my wrong if they were tanky and a proc of 10k happened it would still be unbalanced perhaps more so.
