Guild Wars 2

Let me preface by saying this is not a whine post, my question is how do I build a thief that can HS for 11.5k on a target with 2.5k armor? I have a thief I just leveled to 80 and would like to learn how to build him to do this. I know it’s possible b/c I was roaming on my necro and this happened to me after I had downed another necro 1v1 and was on low health.
When I plug in some numbers in the damage calculation for a HS on a low health target, even with say 2.5k power and +120% crit damage, runes of the Eagle, exposed weakness trait and executioner trait, I can’t get anywhere near that high. Admittedly I don’t know what buffs the thief had, but he seemed to be roaming with a guardian b/c the guardian was trying to res the necro I had just fought.
Can anyone provide a build that can do this kind of damage, this is what I am looking to do with my new thief when I roam with him.

25/30/0/0/15 d/d all signets with signets of power. You have sbsolutely no escapes or staying power so its oneshot or die. Precast CnD from 1500 range then hit steal and backstab

Not viable for WvW other than ganking noobs or people not paying attention. Youll also die A LOT just looking for that one guy to gank

This thing deals a lot of damage: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vYAQNAoYVl8MpypFOxxJ8PNRs9wn7kneFIr2Da2SYC-zEyAYLBRCCERAkKAk8KiGbxtIas6aMlLRUNA-w

Pop all signets and Basilisk Venom. Precast Cloak and Dagger and hit Steal. Backstab and then proceed to mash the 2 key as hard as you can. If the target’s dead you’re gold.

You could take Back Fighting in SA instead of Mug because you’ll be downed. A lot.

Thanks for the replies. I had never noticed the signets of power trait, I usually look right past signet traits in general though. Was hoping there was a more reasonable way to get this kind of damage than a build like that =P. Maybe I’ll settle for a bit less spike and put some real utilities in there.

This what most thieves run in WvW, d/d or d/p doesn’t matter
