Guild Wars 2

Ive been running a 5-6-0-0-3, full signets, basi venom, d/d build. you know, the one with all the might from the signets and stuff. I was wondering if there was any other build to make backstab be higher? I’m only reaching about 9-11k backstabs, which isnt bad at all, but i was wondering if there is any other build for a thief that can hit higher than that. I’ve seen people hit for 15+k. How do they do it?

Please don’t give me advice on how to play thief, or what i should do in order to win. I dont care about winning or how effective it is. I want to know if theres another build that can surpass this one numbers wise. Anyone?

Edit: For sPvP only-

nope, thats the limit man! the only way to get the number higher is to have full bloodlust stacks, full might stacks and some vuln on the target

6/6/0/0/2 with revealed training, use mug to get the revealed effect before backstabbing. That’s the maximum dps and burst you can get.

Absolute maximum burst? I have been summoned!

Of the top of my head, this should be the absolute highest you can do. I did the math a while ago, and the highest it could go back then was about 82k, though with all the changes that have happened since then it’s not going to be quite the same.
