A buddy of mine was telling me its possible to break 200k dps. Here is the screen shot of him almost breaking 200k. How is he doing it? He refuses to tell me so if anyone knows, feel free to post an answer.

for one,this isn’t “dps”
this is just a number of final damage
“dps” would mean “damage per second”

for two,this is a bug (idk if it’s still active)
but,by constantly using a channeled ability,it keeps the number
their actual damage was probably less than 1k a tick,ticking at about a second each hit
they just sat there and had auto-attack on for this skill,causing it to show the “total” damage this person hit for the entire fight of auto-attacking

EDIT: i just logged into my elementalist,and this bug is still happening,Mesmer Greatsword skill 1 is another skill you can replicate this with,just attack the indestructible golem and go /afk

exactly, this is a acumulation of channeling skill like #1 scepter and #1 GS from mesmer.
If you just stand in front a World event boss and AFK autoatccking you will break the 300,000k damage limit >)

We just don’t want players to grind in Guild Wars 2. No one enjoys that.

Yeah, what Kishter said. When you channel a skill for damage, with scepter air 1 and mesmer GS, those are the best examples,

The auto attack hits again before the damage ticker resets.

that he has reached almost 200k damage on this giant indicates that he has been auto attacking this giant for a very long time…..
