Guild Wars 2

Thiefs teleport to you with shadow shot while in stealth and hit you with backstab before shadow shot hits so they wont get unstealthed before they hit their backstab. It for some reason must show up as shadow shot damage. I can guarantee you its a backstab thats killing you.

Each time it hit for almost 9K? Or the summary of the damage the skill did in multiple hits was almost 9K? Anyways, base damage is a lot different from actual damage the skill can dish out. However, I think you read the death breakdown wrong. Shadow shot is sort of spammable and if you’re playing a squishy build, then it is possible to die to it in multiple hits. I don’t know if there is a bug that shows backstab damage as shadowshot, though, but I doubt it.

It said shadow shot, 8.8k dmg, 1 hit in the death breakdown.

I doubt it’s possible to hit that much without you having 25 stacks vulnerability and the thief having 25 stacks of might. I play fresh air and usually get hit 3-5K by Shadow Shot. It’s either a bug or you really read it wrong. Next time take a screenshot.
