Guild Wars 2

I just got hit with backstab 13.8k followed by hearthseeker 3k +3k on my gardian.

Traumatized…..

too traumatized to even spell correctly

Another person coming on here to moan,

Does your gaurdian have a shred of toughness?

was this in world v world?

I’m bored of these posts, read around there will be hundreds of them all saying the same stuff and explaining as to why it happened.

I already posted this in another tread today but… It’s becasue you built glass cannon. I tried a glass cannon build with my warrior the other day just for fun and the same thing happened to me 14k backstab and the next hit after downed me. Get some toughness.

there are actually a couple of thief posts complaining that toughness makes thiefs too weak in sPvP… go figure

Wouldn’t surprise me. There are probably some warrior ones on toughness not being strong enough as well.

Are you like, level 2 and playing in WvW?

I was level 80(not that it matters) in a sPvP match but like I said I built glass cannon on purpose to test it out and believe I only had around 100-200 toughness and 20k health.

100-200 toughness? is that even possible? my thief has almost 1000 toughness in a pure glass-cannon spec, NAKED.

Sorry, meant defense not toughness. Had 1116 toughness, 2327 armor and 200 defense.

That doesn’t seem possible either unless you were running around naked. With a full set of leather armor my glass cannon spec thief has 1064 defense.

That’s the build I was using besides the 6-10 abilities and was running 5% damage instead of crit on weapons

Ok that build calculator isn’t including any worn armor at all. So you have 200 above what your armor gives you, which is over 1000,

Yep whatever the armor/defense number is if you play that build and a thief with the right backstab build gets a backstab and 1 or 2 more hits in you’re dead.

edit: sorry for dragging this out btw been up for 24 hours

Okay but I’ve got less defense and my health is low enough that a 13.8k backstab would instantly kill me, but that’s never happened…

The guy that backstabbed me hit for over 14k and I was downed in the next 1 or 2 hits… it looked something like this
