In solo queue pvp, and suddenly I’m down. Then I look at the combat log and see this.
This is not a QQ post, I was wearing glass, but that build looks fun. Basically he goes around one shot most of my teammates (who, by the luck of the draw, are mostly thieves and mesmers)

If you know the opponent team has a glass cannon player, bring a rifle warrior, and you will own them so hard with the killshot. With heavy classes like guardians, you can still deal 10k damage, and guardian has low HP too.
:D

It’s fun, but you can’t hold a point. Like literally an engi or necro has to look at you funny and you’re dead. Not really viable also because there are several methods to counter killshot if you know it’s happening.

And to pull off that kind of damage you have NO condition removal. Zlich. Even taking shake it off is about 1k shaved off that figure.

Only shaved off 1k off that figure, so it’s still 19k :O
Btw, I’m sure trading off 1k and get Berserker Stance is a reasonable trade off, so you can’t say no condition removal.

Also, this is not a build to hold a point, it’s a sniper build. You go to place where your friends are fighting, stay in the corner and killshot. Boom, one down. It’s really fun. I’ve been playing this recently, and it’s even more fun than 3 heartseekers to down an Ele. The enemy walking, not knowing at all, and down instantly.

Again, this is not a build to fight toes to toes, although you can easily switch to Hammer or Greatsword and fight 1vs1. It’s a sniper build, and it’s fun. And no, most of the opponents can’t dodge this, since you don’t see it coming clearly, lol.

Of course we lost in a landslide, but I don’t think any of us was unhappy. Btw, how do you dodge a skill that has no visual clue, and when the opponent is hiding?
Big damage + no visual clue = power?

When someone is using killshot, he stands still and points his rifle at you for over one second. Pretty hard to tell, huh?

You talk just like they will stand on a point casting that over 1.5 seconds for you to see.
This build is a sniper build. You hide in a corner shooting it.

So after the first time the warrior does that, you should have the presence of mind to actually look around and find him. He’s a warrior, not a thief. Use your eyes.

regarding 20k killshots though, i was pulling 18ks on full glass ele using double banner + signet of might with signet of fury active, you’re going to need like a kitten load of might to pull 20k without the banners and signet. Plus traits were like 30/0/0/10/30.

He has 25 stacks of blood lust on. Without it, it was about 16k. Still higher than my HP pool haha.

The first time it’s fine. However, after the first time someone on your team reports getting a 20k kill shot rammed up where no kill shots should be rammed, if every one of you isn’t keeping a lookout for that warrior trying to pull a snipe, you deserve to be 1shot.

That’s not elitist, that’s common sense and self preservation. If you know a warrior is doing the whole sniping thing, you know that he will die if you sneeze on him, so go hunt him down. It’s just…smart play.

@above if you want, i can call everything elitism and everything is op, anet should just remove all classes and let us AA each other with a wooden stick in pvp, without evades and dodges ofc, because that would be too OP. we are pretty close already.

its actually not.pyro is a well respected member in the mesmer community and very skilled in spvp, but thats not the point here. he will tell u the truth in your face though.but he is right. it is your fault that u got hit by a killshot as u probably had a moment where u werent careful.

as a team u always have to be on the loockout for ambushes(thief could have shadowrefuged the other players, thief is in stealth, mesmer is in stealth, warrior is in sniping spot, etc..)
what i do, is always being alert at all time. i dont just walk and feel save when i see no enemy. i always expect a thief, so i dodge a lot and use my blocks while walking. i maybe got hit once so far by a killshot and once by eviscarate, but because im always expecting an enemy i usually block those things or dodge them.if one guy is playing killshot bunny from a typical camper spot, then thats just someone who played first person shooters with no skills( i usually go and hunt down campers).

so what u might wanna do in future is always turn your camera around u and check above u too and never just run somewhere, keep dodging whenever u can as thieves and killshot warriors could take u down in 1 second as a glass cannon. also dont stay still.

also moment like this happen in spvp. they are a good reminder for u to be more aware.
