Guild Wars 2

Sure, the thread is

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/thief/P-P-S-D-WvW-Video-Something-Different/

It’s a pvp build. Different but works great. There’s a vid in the first post. Enjoy.

. Here is a vid with footage from early december. It shows a lucky killstreak that i had on my roaming thief. As you see, the damage is totally sick. At the start i kill like 3-4 guys on my own.

. But.. The conditions get the best of me. The AoE flying arround get the best of me. etc! If i had retreated better, i could have made it myself a bit easyer but i got lucky and rallied a few times! That said, it shows you that full crit thieves are squishie as hell.

WARNING: You will hate me for this video.

Note: No food, consumables and only 1 bloodlust stack. Also, i was and am still not using ascended gear on my thief. So yeah, it can be a lot worse! ;]

Also, underleveled enemies are my favourite victims =p j/k, i don’t play my thief that much in WvW anymore. It feels a bit too easy at times.

Jesus christ.

That’s pretty much all I can think of.

Jesus kitten christ.

The player in question has about 80% damage reduction, ….

Where did you get that, I don’t recall the op saying he had 80% damage reduction.

5.8k is enormous damage?

This thread is kitten hilarious.

The player in question has about 80% damage reduction, although my calculations could be slightly off since I don’t have in-game access atm.

So 5.8k / .2 = 29k base damage, or 22k damage against a glass cannon target is actually a rather good chunk of damage.

Edit: Said 22k damage is probably about 10k non-crit, 8k without %dmg buffs, 6k without power stacking sigils/food/Might.

Dude, 22k backstab crit is to NAKED PLAYER.

It is? Mine was to a warrior who had frenzy up and I had 3400 attack and 114 crit dmg. Traited with 20% more dmg to targets below 50% hp.

Frenzy increases damage done to the user by 50% so yes such huge backstab damage is done to a naked player.

Stardrift, the ranger’s greatsword does the lowest damage out of all of our weapons.

You’re also severely overestimating a ranger’s ability to keep an enemy at bay. A stance dancing elementalist is impossible to keep at a distance, especially with the longbow.

Doesnt matter how much toughness and boons you got… You still wear MEDIUM armor, if you want to tank go play a guardian or warrior… And if you want a class that can do a lot of ranged dmg and tank better than any other.. then your playing the wrong game.

This player is very well-informed about the game mechanics.
