Guild Wars 2

Hey guys, i’m asking to you because this really amazed me,
Here is the situation, i have almost 25k hp with around 1k1 toughness on my mesmer, running around in WvW, when suddenly…OS.
So i was wondering since even a balista+trebuchet wouldn’t deal 25k damage, watching my combatlog i see:
16102 damage by bladetrail
11801 damage by bladetrail

So the question, is it common to see such numbers on warriors build full dps with berserker?
Lancelame is Bladetrail in french :

Yes, a berserker can get high DPS due to 100b/frenzy/Bull’s Rush (Knockdown.), with traits you can increase critical chance to knocked down targets to 50%, and there isn’t much you can do, however the Zerker is VERY squishy.

The counter to this?
Bring a friend, they go down like gnats.

1v1 though? very hard to counter unless you play a thief.

It is not always common but very possible for a glass cannon warrior to hit with those numbers. What’s uncommon is bladetrail actually hitting twice, as it has to boomerang back..which means you were running in a straight line away from the warrior or not dodging. If you see bladetrail hit you, immediately dodge in a different direction, and you can at least avoid the 2nd hit. GS abilities pack a punch, but only when they actually land.

Holy cow, frenzy bullrush 100b is a thing but 28k from a bladetrail !
Brb rerolling

Edit: yep thinking about the situation there was probably 2 waiting around the corner of a wall, didn’t even saw them and got double bladetrailed, wouldn’t wish that to anyone

Not sure how bladetrail could hit this hard, but looking at the log, you got hit by it 3 times, you cant hit someone more than twice with it. And then from something called (Frappe massive)Massive Strike(google traslate ftw) is that a warrior ability in french?

not sure about this massive strike, i’m unable to find it in the wiki, the thing is there was a massive zerg going around and clipping played a big part in this harsh ganking i’m sure, but the numbers were so high i couldn’t believe it.

Well it’s called Lance*lame* what did you expect?

I believe it’s a bug btw. Or possibly you had 25 stacks of vuln and he had 25 of might etc etc, but even there I can’t see a 16k Bladetrail crit.

Sometimes the combat log gives wrong numbers and skill names, keep that in mind.

Nope, just went out of the castle fresh and dandy, he could have had 25 stack of might though.

But yeah, high numbers indeed.

28k bladetrail? I do not use a 2h sword, for I do not enjoy the gameplay. B

But that seems way too high for that skill. Seems strange.

Running a support build, 30 D, 30 T, my bladetrail is lucky to do about 1200 damage. My rifle burst, for another example, does about 5k, max. My hundred blades usually does around 5-6k, too.

It’s funny how extreme the number variations get with Warriors. Considering most of our traits are just damage modifiers for min-maxing builds, I guess it’s not surprising.

There is no “number variation” or specific setup etc, it’s called combat log bug.
Go test the combat log and you’ll see it will give you wrong skill names, wrong numbers, etc.
This is especially true with multi-hit skills.
I can’t count the reports I did on the combat log.

I’ve had times when using Bladetrail in the training area (the one with the golems all lined up) in the Mists where the more enemies I hit the more the damage varies upward. Think the highest I got it to was 16k. Can’t seem to replicate it atm though, how recent was this?

Edit: Went back and tried again, manage a 13.5k hit, so it’s still possible on mist target dummies at least.

It was yesterday.

As for the combat log bug, i can assure you it felt very real on the receiving side of the blade.
In fact it’s the first time ever where i find myself downed instantly in WvW, that’s why i noticed.

It’s definitely bugged if it’s telling you he hit you with it three times. I’m not sure you could make that happen even if you purposely dodged ahead to get hit again. Obviously he hit you with something that killed you but that log is stupid.

I answered this in the previous post Lamefox.
So might be a bug in the combat log or a bug due to the numbers of target, sure thing imo is that a well build warrior got the stars aligned, thanks for the clues guys.
Anyway, i’ll sure watchout for those nasty flying blades in the future.
