Guild Wars 2

So I’ve been curious for some time now. What is the highest deepus of them all? Your screenies are much appreciated.

Well I remember getting a 4.8k crit with it on a teef in PvP, but I know from watching Spoj solo lupicus that 6-9k isn’t impossible

Ive had 11k in old casual runs. But that was pre ferocity nerf. Id expect about 20-25k is possible if trying to go for a big hit with all buffs on mage crusher.

The max I could pull off was 11k on a mordrem mob

However, I usually do 3.5k – 4k and when buffed (or the target debuffed) I can score 5.5k – 6.5k.

It’s still depressing damage when on warrior or thief you can pull off way more while providing a lot more to your party.

:( no love for the necro

Lolol, Feast Of Corruption ftw!

Holy kitten , looks like I gotta get my zerk scepter :P

Today I got like 11k in silverwastes and was satisfied, until I jumped on my warrior and did a 19k on on 3 different mobs at the same time. Then I asked myself why do I play my necro in pve. It’s so blah. I even like my necro in the sw because epidemic and high condi dmg seems effective until I log my warrior on and see that … Repeatedly. How can anet not see that we are hurting so much in pve? I’m avoiding our def issues in pvp, don’t want to keep beating a dead horse.

19k with what? Comparing a channeled skill or a skill with a higher coefficient isnt exactly a valid comparison.

Spoj, you’re quite right, sorry. It was 100 blades.

19k hundred blades is very low so yeah. x)

i should have added with very little effort i got 19k. as in, i had no might stacks

It’s better to compare it to something like lightning whip, which unbuffed does something like 2.7k each hit.

In terms of autoattack damage warrior mainhand axe takes the cake by a long shot. The final hit makes necrotic bite look like it tickles.

With a DS build you usually hit around 7-9k with every single blast. So it’s not that bad.

Im trying to figure out where you people get these huge numbers from. Granted I dont use a bloodlust sigil because Im a n00b but still, most I can get up to is around 5k consistently on a LB hit, and I dont even want to talk about main hand dagger.

I also think that comparing our dagger auto attack to a warrior HB is actually valid, because thats pretty much the highest damage skill we have (unless its LB. Still not sure whats better, DS crit build or spoj’s dagger one, I’ve seen a lot of evidence for both)

For single hit to single hit, Life Blast is better, since within 600 range, it’s a 1.4 coefficient as opposed to 1.2 on Necrotic Bite. Plus, Life Blast can use higher weapon damage numbers than Necrotic Bite to open the gap further.

Any number you see Nectoric Bite hit for, Life Blast in the same situation would hit for ~17% more damage (assuming still using dagger as active weapon).

That’s not unbuffed damage, and Life Blast has a cast time. It’s also not an autoattack you have all the time, you want to stay above the life force threshold for the 5% bonus damage and that’s not a scenario you get everywhere in the game, much less wvw/pvp.
