Maybe you should be banned for hacking your HP bar and forcing the Thief’s hand.

I dare anyone to call the OP a liar or “don’t know what he’s talking about”!

Any honest thieves with physical evidence, “please stand up”

Another evidence of thief’s madness.

This is way too ridiculous and unbearing.

Not sure if serious or trolling, so, dare excepted.

Please check the following link –
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fYAQJAoYEFnTEbP8ZO5pXByq9gmtEmA-ToAg0CqI4SxljLDXSuscNKYCB

There we have listed the absolute max combined power a thief can possibly have in SPvP – 25 stacks of bloodlust, 25 stacks of might, Assassins sig, 30 points in both DA and CS, equipped with zerkers, scholar runes, and a sigil of force as well as dagger training. (You’ll have to manually add 25 stacks of bloodlust/Might, and set the target to the light armor since apparently those do not get saved)

I’m going to do some sloppy math below, but if you’d like the figure out the exact max strike for yourself, here are some tips – Don’t forget to add up all the conditional damage % boosters (Exposed weakness, first strike,s executioner, and scholars – Force and dagger training are already factored in, so don’t add those) for a total of 50%. Note that the target I’ve chosen is at 2000 armor (IE, a Glass Cannon).

Quick and dirty – 4441×.5+4441 = 6661.5 – total non crit damage when your target has a condition, is under 50%, you’re over 6 init, and you have over 90% health.

6661.5 × 1.03 + 6661.5 = ~13523 – A critical strike.

Go ahead and add 25 stacks of vulnerability in there, since we’re running this test with every single power buff on our supposed thief AND taking advantage of every single conditional damage % booster (IE, a situation so unlikely it might as well be impossible). You’ll find you still don’t do anywhere near the damage that screenshot listed. Also make sure to remember that we’re talking about a target with only 2,000 armor, which is below the absolute minimum armor you’d find on a warrior who’s wearing all his armor.

You know what? Lets add Frenzy AND 25 stacks of vulnerability!
13523 × .5 + 13523 = ~20285 – So in an absolute kittenstorm of perfect setup for the thief (which has a chance of happening approaching 0), your screenshot is still overblown more than 70 – 115%

Its possible I did the math slightly incorrect up there (I’m no expert on GW2’s system), but I’m willing to bet I didn’t miscalculate 20k damage into thin air.

TL;DR – Numbers bullkitten, proof above.

If you’re a thief and haven’t
pre-ordered HOT at this point,
save yourself the money and don’t bother.

Np, I’ll leave it at that. At least players who are less in the know now can come, look at the math, and understand.

The real reason he’s naked is cause Backstab is so OP it also broke all of his gear. He obviously didn’t strip naked, and stack extremely favorable conditions to skew the numbers.

Obviously.
