Was hit for over 13k damage in exotic toughness/hp gear by a thief within about 0.2 to 0.3 seconds.
It were these 3 skills executed “at once”:
Steal, Cloak and dagger, backstab.
(Also, it wasn’t possible to target him with some cc skill in advance to prevent him from closing up, because he either jumped or was cloaked/stealthed, or w/e it is called)
Colin ‘The Liar’ Johanson: “Everyone, including casual gamers, by 80 should have the
best statistical loot in the game. We want everyone on equal power base.”
So how 3 hits (CnD has cast time…) are made in 0.2- 0.3 secondse even with haste? PLEASE DO give combat log. Oh you don`t have one?
13k is normal for 3 “large hits” by large I mean:
1. Steal 35-45 seconds CD skill which crits for 4-5-6k depending on various things
2. CnD a 6 initiate skill WITH cast time (thief base pool is 12 with trait 15 initiate poins)
3. For dmg on backstab he must be behind you.
So he jumped you from somwhere and burst you? Were you in a big fight and the client lagged or something?
If there was no lag and anything why on earth you did not dodge when you saw the CnD casting animation?
Cal actually is exactly that fast.C&D is precasted and while the animation runs you pop Steal.The whole thing would take like 0.5 sec.
Edit:To finish my point.Anyone running,capable of such damage is Bound to roam WvW with 14-15k hp and zero toughness.They are even easiest targets for the others.They maybe have some lucky moments,but are more victims then predators.

I know that CnD can be casted before the steal the OP I bet did not. I was interested based on what knowledge of the game he makes such topics “I DEMAND bla bla”
And yes either the OP is undergeared/not 80 or the thief was glass cannon. 14k HP is much for glass cannon tbh There are thiefs running with 12k health
I don’t play WvW.My PC is too crappy and cannot handle the crowds.I only play SPvP and as you know the gear in SPvP is balanced.I get killed by Big dmg/crit Backstabbers like once/twice a day.I am far more concerned about mesmers,particular engineer builds,particular hammer warriors and hammer guardians and by default any player,who are good player,regardless of the class..

13k dmg / 3 skills = 4.3k each. Using 3 big skills. I cannot see where is the problem. A lot of professions can crit for 4.5+ with a lot of skills. You cannot even complain about “no cooldown OP”, he used 3 different skills.
he never said he got killed by that, only that he received alot of dmg in split of a second.
anyway, with a proper build the backstab alone would deal atleast a 8k crit, so this thief was actually bad. my thief build backstab hits for 10-13k in spvp on targets with no toughness gear.
the OP I bet did not. I was interested based on what knowledge of the game he makes such topics “I DEMAND bla bla”
