Guild Wars 2

So I recently hit a necro in lich form for 7.7k…… Using Zealot’s Embrace.

I’m not really sure how it happened. I have solid power and crit damage when I’m fully stacked, but the skill only hits for 700 damage, I hit 10x that. Doesn’t really add up.

Anyone else experienced something similiar? I’m sure it must be one of the biggest chain hits out there. I’ll post some proof below, and a pic of my stats.

nice stats!

doode, i hit someone for 1.2k last night with zealot’s embrace and was like hey not bad. then you post this. ://

maybe some of the other more numbers oriented can help you out here. imagine if that had been a mighty blow instead. :PP

Upleveled legend?

It’s possible, but we have to assume you’re getting super lucky with everything and that necro was full zekers with broken armor:
[1116 (max hammer damage) x 3565 (power) x 0.8 (ZE ratio) / 916 (necro base armor when everything is broken)] x 2.29 (crit dmg) = 79570.

So either the necro had a bunch of vuln stacks on or he had multiple pieces of broken armor.

occasionally in testing I’ve seen Zealot’s Embrace hit a target more than once ( possibly dependant on their/your direction of travel ). Perhaps you got multiple strikes on him ( although if that’s the case I would imagine it they would have individual combat log entries and not be totalled together.

I’d guess it’s the upleved/zerker/broken gear option and if there were other combatants maybe they were stacking vulnerability too.

Talking of OP hits, I love it when a single enemy takes all 5 strikes from binding blade, that’s some crazy damage right there.

It’s unlikely that a non-80 is a Legend in WvW. Probably zerker/broken with some vuln stacks, or something. It’s no secret that almost everyone on Maguuma runs super glassy (especially their ranged players).

How did you get those stats?

How did you get those stats?

He’s got a good balance of stats, but bear in mind the buffs and consumables:

+250 vitality from Applied Fortitude ( +2500 health )
+100 Power from Guard Leech
+6% of toughness/4% of vita given to Power or Precision ( Stones or Oil )
+180-216 power from Bane Signet
+30-60 power/precision/healing/toughness/vitality from Borderland Bloodlust
+250 Power from Sigil of Bloodlust
and maybe +70-100 power from food and assorted WvW bonuses

A lot of theorycrafting
Also stacks

I really wish I had the time invested into WvW to have guard stacks.

Thy are pretty game-changing, not gonna lie

doode, Bash, you. need. to. get. Guard. stacks. DO IT. NOW.

also, did you remember if they had vuln stacks, Moleless? that’s what i was thinking, and might stacks on yourself? was it in a group fight?

regardless, still pretty awesome lol.

Wtf those stats are crazy.

dat hotkey set up though o.O

I suspect he might be using combat mod. I used it myself but it gets impossible to use evasive leaps since autotargetting has to be on for combat ui to work.

Edit: thus making those two hammering abilities not tied to F11,12. They are probably mouse left and mouse right button since combat mod fixes your aim kind of like a fps game, which frees up your mouse buttons.

Did you read the wvw change from the devs yesterday?
because:

Those hotkeys are all just random, out of the way keys, that are assigned to one of the buttons on my mouse.

Almost right. I don’t use combat mod, but I have a G700 mouse with lots of extra buttons.

CombatMod doesn’t need autotargetting. At least the one I use doesn’t. You can still untarget someone and use a leap to get out of harm’s way, etc.

I think I use ICM.

I am only rank like 75 or something, wouldn’t even have enough even if I hadn’t spent all my points already (which I did to help with the guild group nights.)
