Guild Wars 2

I have literally never seen this type of damage done before from a necro. Can anyone tell me what happenend and how he managed (trait combo’s etc) to do such a high amount of damage? Necrotic bite is a skill from dagger auto attack chain and it crit’d for 8k damage. I’m in awe right now.

I’m not very tanky. Only have 2450 armor, but I’ve never taken damage this fast from any other class before. She didn’t have any quickness either.

she would’ve had to have been using spite, tell me, did you notice how much vulnerability you had on you at the time? Because if under 50% health and no boons, she coud’ve had a 25% damage increase. But even with the might stacking spite offers, you would’ve had to have been standing still….ehhh…any help here? I’m no math major!

I don’t know about vulnerability nor might stacks. I don’t think there were many as right after I died I clicked on her to take a look at what boons/food she had. She did have a food which granted +8% damage while moving as well as the sharpening stones which grant +4% power and +2% power based on toughness and vitality, respectively. But I don’t remember seeing a significant amount of might stacks, if any at all.

Also, she did have some buff on which granted +100% damage to players and siege equipment while inside of a golem. No idea if she might’ve bugged it or something.

Edit: Nevermind, managed to find her again and get her into a party. Theres a bug with that +100% damage food while in a golem food currently. Apparently many have exploited it.

Probably a relatively standard berserker Necro. I can crit anywhere between 5 – 9k with the third attack in my dagger auto’s and have gone as high as 12k with Life Blast.

Yes I know the following pictures will get criticism because they’re against PvE mobs but I still like to post them because the numbers make me smile.

Keep in mind theres a glitch in wvw where some players are getting hte buff from the golem event despite not being inside one. That may have been what happened here.

Also, the foods not being max level leads me to believe it was an uplevel you were facing. Their stats get inflated beyond full Ascended 80 if they’re geared correctly, and knowing he had a Guardian ally, I can see this happening.

Why is everyone assuming exploit? If full berserker these numbers are totally believable. Unless OP had a fair bit of toughness then yeah, I could see it being an exploit. But otherwise, I regularly crit anywhere between 5 -9k with the third attack in dagger auto chain on lights and mediums. More around 4 – 7k on heavies depending on toughness obviously.

People can’t (or don’t want to believe) that necromancer can hit pretty hard or scale pretty well (even though we have many many clunk problems). In this instance Soilder kept getting hit with the full dagger combo, a whopping 940 + 2.80 of their power in damage over 2.1 seconds add in modifiers like Runes, Vulnerability, and Might (the latter two being easy for the Necro to stack) with necros own modifers (Close to Death), and it’s easy to see how he got hit so hard.

You also got hit with a Spinal Shivers (focus skill) while he was in Death Shroud, so he’s definitely down the Spite try. Since he was able to it you so much it also looks like you underwent the equivalent of Corner kitten in Guild Wars 2 (fighting game term).

Nah that’s most likely because the 10% one costs significantly more than the 8% one so no-one bothers outside of gvg’s normally xD

well this necro was probably 100% glass, and your lack of armor doesn’t help either.

Plus remember, probably earth/fire sigils proccing as well.

It’s all good. I got her into party chat and she said the golem damage buff was bugged and applying +100% damage to her even though she currently wasn’t in one. Later on I saw a few other players doing insane damage with the same bug as well.

Necro is obviously OP and needs to be nerfed. This makes mesmer burst seems like it tickles and is definately NOT due to the huge power creep this patch produced.

I know you mean this as a joke, but please for the love of Grenth, don’t give ANET any ideas.

Lets nerf axe auto more! It still is too strong even with the terrible animation it has.

You know, considering Anet’s history with necro and mesmer, I think they would actually nerf both of them really hard (Mesmer needs it though, were broken atm).

It’s WvW?

it can be,the dagger third attack does high dmg + guard could have that symbol of wrath give 10% more dmg trait,and might+vurnability + necro trait that gives extra 20% dmg under 50% health+ my power necro can have 3k power and 1k ferocity with wvw stacks all fits.

omg plz nurf all necros more…

on a more less sarcastic tone. as i ses this, it was posted 2 days ago under the golem event it was the golem 100% buff bug. havent bother to log in yet 2day to see if thay have fixed it.

offtopic why anet why do u do ur stupid event b4 weekends when u are not online to fix this, do u even bother to test stuff before u press the go button? last major class change patch comes to mind,

There is a bug where people are keeping their golem buffed stats even when not on te golem.
