Guild Wars 2

I know it’s not the best way to contribute to your team, but I’m just wondering. I recently did 1.4 million damage on my gs/hammer warrior. I have not been able to beat that on anything.

I like to play thief as main and was wondering if there’s any theif builds that can do that. Most i have one is like 700k with my shortbow. I was thinking maybe a glass cannon ele or a condition necro? Though i dont have much experience with condition builds generally speaking

You get huge damage numbers when you are fighting a tanky team and have no spike. So run a build that hurts people but doesn’t kill them. So they can keep healing while you do your high damage.

So basically does that mean condition damage is easier to top since it’s sustained?? Every time I have played a condition build I have never gotten over 400k condition damage. For some reason I seem to do more with spike class like mesmer, thief, warrior wearing maurader amulet.

He meant a bruiser build like scrapper or even reaper.

I got about 1,100,000 damage in conditions on my reaper. I have the screenshot.

It is always better to do less total damage and actually get the kills. At the of match, 25 kills and 500k damage is better than 6 kills and 1 million damage. Total damage stats racks up because they are sustaining for too long and you arn’t pressuring them hard enough. It is easy to stack damage by doing your rotation on the enemy bunker in a 1v1 while they sit on their node and be totally useless overall, since you arn’t going where you are needed and focusing the right targets.

That said, if you want to just get useless top damage stats, just pick a high DPS pve build and sit on the enemy team bunker all match. Alternatively pick a heavy AoE build with decent sustain and follow the enemy zerg. Also try not to die, since that would reduce your overall total damage.

Sometimes playing a bunker build, clueless players would try to contest a point by trying to kill me. By the end of the match, they may have gotten over a million damage done, but I would have something like 2 million damage taken overall and zero deaths.
