I was in full Rabid exo gear.
2773 Armor (1648 toughness)
18531 HP

As you can clearly see – this wasn’t final hit for me:
6044 HS + 1595 Flame sigil + 540 Wave + 1120 Double strike
So I was with nearly 9k HP at the moment of HS impact – this is 50% of my total HP!

This was in OS a few months ago. I forgot what food I had, but i am sure it was 100 power and 70 vitalty. anyway this is vs another thief (he might of been bad gear) but i was running d/p 3/0/0/5/6. no crit strikes.

6k is easy to get with heart seeker, and in wvw the power creap is pretty crazy. some focus warriors hit me for 13k evis!

I didn’t asked “what is it?”
I’ve asked “how many stacks?”

So, in zerg fights you think this is possible to have 25 stacks of Bloodlust and 5 stacks of Guard killer? Especially for glassy Zerk Thief, right?
And this is possible for some glassy zerk thief (obviously, pug) maintain 25 stacks of Might on demand, right?

And this is OK hits like that against toughness focused players?

I think he meant he had (nearly) 50% of his health left since the damage of heartseeker increases the lower the health of the opponent is.
I rarely do 6k heartseekers but maybe that’s because I rarely do heartseekers, nonetheless my stacks are usually full, except when I just logged in – I know how to get them!

Not only everyone has access to the same damage modifiers, everyone has access to nearly oneshot specs, that thief that attacked you was 26006 or 26600 most likely, first one is extremely squishy. A block, some damage to him and he is in trouble.
And thief isn´t even the class with highest damage in short time, ele is better. Ingis can reach really high damage, necro can do nearly 10k on autoattack, ranger can make a lot of damage with maul or rapidfire, warrior with eviscerate or killshot, etc. Its all about the circumstances…

Here a build : http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fZAQNAoYFl8MpypdOxxpJaJqtHhO4F86N0+CCgQE-TlRBABXt/o8DP9BLcCAA4BAQp6PmpEMAACwNbzA48m38m38mnbezbezbezSBExyI-w

That’s not a good build, just to give you the idea of what dmg HS could do in your situation.

Your Armor : 2773
Skill Coefficient : 1.5 (you said you were at 50% hp)
Base Power : 2921
You can activate 4 signet for 20 might + 1 might from steal. 21 might = 735 power. 200 power when in stealth. + 250 power from Bloodlust + 100 power from guards stack.
Total power = 2921
735+200+250+100 = 4206
Critical dmg = 231%
Critical chance = 100% in stealth
Damage modifier = 15% Assassin’s Signet + 10% Scholar + 5% Dagger Training + 10% Exposed Weakness + 10% First Strikers + 5% Sigil of Force

Base Damage = 1030 * 4206 * (1.5 / 2773) = 2 343 dmg
Critical Dmg = 2 343* 2.31 = 5 413 dmg
Dmg modifier = 5 098 1.151.1*1.05*1.1*1.1*1.05 = 9 135dmg

So in theory it was possible for a thief to do a 9.2 HS on you by its own in that particular situation. Again, nobody use the build that I gave, its just to show you that its possible to give a really high HS with a thief alone.

Interestingny enough. That same thief with a little bit of help (4 more might), and against a squishy light armor (1846 armor is the lowest possible with an exotic armor). A thief could do a 18.9k HS or a 22k Backstab. Don’t think anyone will see it, but it would be funny.

Well I pushed it far to reach 18,9k HS. But now I want to bring a couple of guildmate with me and try to reach that on a innocent person in WvW just for the fun of it.

There are lots of skills that can deal massive damage even if you have a fair bit of toughness on you.

You can read the 2nd half of my previous post to find out the lvl of those two. I do see the difference, it’s actually so obvious that I almost haven’t played my thief since I made an ele 7 weeks ago.

You also need to get some facts right, HS has 3/4s cast time, it’s certainly not instant. Actually, it has same cast time as ranger autoattack, which costs no resources to use and can crit high too. See another of my attachments.

Your need to complain about thief dps is amusing, especially cos you play a condi engi and you can melt a zerker thief fast.
