Guild Wars 2

Hi!

I was just watching some video’s on youtube and I wonder how people are hitting for 7-8k I know it’s in wvw but the hardest I can hit a upscaled noob for is about 5.5k (with blurred frenzy).

I run a shatterbuild. I got Berserker armor (with runes of the centaur). I got 51% critical chance and 98% critical damage, these are my base stats. So no buffs or food involved there. I do have superior sigil of perception and it does help to crit more often. Should I really use runes of divinity or runes of air in wvw to hit that hard? Because even though I thought 98% critical damage was much, it doesnt feel like much. Don’t get me wrong I do win fights and I do hit hard just not as hard as other people. I wonder how much harder I can hit and what i’m missing.

Thanks already

and mesmers only hit for 7-8k+ with shatters, no single skill will hit that hard, unless the other person is naked and upleveled.

you can get 2.5-3k/shatter, so totaled thats10-12k damage if all illusions hit.

i would suggest to check videos again and see if there are vulnerability/might stacks involved, they really help your damage.
you may want to try dazzling if you dont have it, its really useful and also provides some stacks of might, together with a mirror blade (traited with illusionary elasticity) and a sigil of battle on sword you can gain some decent stacks.
3%dmg/clone and traits like that also work, check them. oh and also the mantra damage trait… well there are a lot of reasons that can explain it.

@wads: damage of mind wrack is way higher, even against a lvl 80.

it’s not unless you daze shatter first for massive vulnerability stacks.

Tou can reach some silly dmg using dazzling tbh, you must remeber that you DO trade out your survival thu. You need to be on your toes al time to not get nuked.

if he/she runs a focus,#5 can deal up to 7k+, I have seen it alot when I have used it, mostly locking down using the sword #3, and then the swap for immob. but remember, warden have a long channeled so it’s very rare to get it hit all attacks, unless there’s a siege or vs a new player, that does not know the amount of damage it can do. Or it’s the Izerker (Gs#4), I have been able to get 7k crits with it, but it is rare for me, also Iwarden #3 can get 11k if enemy have enough conditions.
