I’m just curious.

I have gotten some nice numbers lately, and the latest was 12.5k on a ranger (was prob. a zerker one tho) an hour ago. Was pretty nice! I were going pretty glass, D/D, with Valk armor (2 zerkers) and zerker trinkets.

I’m usually happy if I do an average of 8k.

Highest I’ve done is 17k on an ele in spvp.

Yeah, currently.

I was also speaking of a WvW PoW (but whatever grinds your gear!).

I used 6/6/0/0/2, full glass that is, just to instagib someone.

This way I could get a nice % increase in my backstab with 5 attacks while activating Assassins Signet (5% dagger training, 5% flanking strikes, 7% thanks to runes and might and 15% from the signet, and 10% if I’m moving thanks to seaweed food).

In and out, and not a serious setup, but fun to nuke ppl down fast with little too no survival for yourself.

Yeah, it’s a little sad when auto-attacks have better DPS than the backstab (considering the time to setup). Of course, the math doesn’t stop people from QQing about OP backstabs.
Best I had lately was 11k-ish on a zerker thief after a several CnDs (so a couple of might stacks) in WvW with full stacks, but the average Guard/Warr has to be tickled to death with 3-5k backstabs (where the actual effect is more a psychological one).
When I was on my Warr the last day I ran into a thief and was in a hurry to flip a tower. He backstabbed me once, I kept on running afterwards…he just gave up, seeing my almost full HP-bar (full zerker and almost 3K armor is fun).
