They can crit for more than your current hitpoints with trait setups.. so yeah that looks like a normal amount to be critting for.

Thankyou for the clarification..
Now that barrier is gping to be a thing and the fact that it will scale with vit just make toughness even more usless in my eyes now…well see how barrier is applyied to ones self and see if it will be an effective game mechanic…in my opinion i dont think it will be that good at all if everyone has it then no one is at a advantage n it just another hp bar that has to be knocked down to actually k-o people…..this is my biggest grip with barrier a necro whos running a vit build to begin with has 25k+ hp and a 20k shroud form what i saw in wp video was him having another 15k like b.c of barrier is that really necessary?

their tremors hit as hard as a gunflame will, one of them hit my warrior for 16k,

so dodge dodge dodge!

for sub 3k armor and no damage reduction stuff but also no vulnerability expect crits for,

3-4k hammer bolts
10k cor
5k phase smash
5k drop the hammer

if the rev is a glass cannon.

To give you perspective on how inept a hammer rev truly is in full on zerging,
I am off the glass cannon rev and on my reaper. I don’t main reaper.

This is normal. I have 3300 toughness reaper and get hit for 7.5k CoR and I’ve been hit for 11k on Phase Smash. The Rev hammer is just insanely overpowered for it’s range. Arenanet normally has a rule that ranged weapons = less damage (aka risk = reward). For Rev hammer though they’ve thrown that out the window and rewarded low risk play with high damage. Poor design.

Scary that it used to hit for substantially more.

Even more scary it used to hit 15 targets.

Even more scarier that the devs that developed that skill are about to release another round of elite specs?

And another “hammer rev op” thread is born…

Rev is a class that in average hands doesn’t feel OP and is often easy to beat in small scale. Give it to a good player and suddenly it can feel very OP especially the condi dueling builds.

Yes that’s normal.

I wouldn’t suggest playing in WvW without at least 3k armor and 20k HP unless you’re a class that has stealth/evades/teleports and can run away
