Guild Wars 2

I’ve been looking for the highest theoretical burst in the game, and with the amount of damage warriors can pump out, I felt you should join the fun! So far the highest burst we’ve come up with is a 94k elementalist burst, so that’s the kind of numbers we are looking for.
(Main thread: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/balance/The-Highest-Theoretical-Burst/)

Rules:
- Time limit is one second, starting from first tick of damage done.
- No external buffs
- There is no RNG – everything goes perfectly. Every skill deals the highest possible damage it can do, and everything with a % chance to proc will proc.

So, what would be the highest possible warrior burst?

That’s the thing, warriors don’t really have high instaburst skills.

I guess something like Frenzy>Killshot>Signet of Fury>Eviscerate, with 6/0/0/2/6? But that won’t come close to ele.

add in on my mark, signet of rage, and discipline banner.

but yeah, warriors would only be able to compete if your time window was like 5 seconds or something, enough to get off a quickness 100b, ww, rush, evisc

Yeah, but i thought he meant the damage rotation. I was suggesting this under the impression that everything else (vulnerability, might) is maxed out.

Problem with your suggestion is that if you want to slot OMM and discipline banner, where would you fit signet of fury and signet of might?

utilities would be fury, omm, banner. elite is rage

im pretty sure 15% crit damage is more than the power you get from signet of might

Don’t sell warriors too short – I’m sure we can at least get to 50k, probably way higher.

@Cygnus No external buffs are allowed, so all the might and vulnerability you want you’ll have to stack yourself, and the moment you deal any damage is the moment the timer starts ticking.

So, can anyone think of any other burst rotations, or is Killshot + (Signet of Fury) + Eviscerate our best bet?

Wads is right, banner, OMM and Signet of Fury.

But I can’t think of a better damage rotation.

And i’d say 50k is a pretty safe estimate if you don’t have full might and vulnerability.

great example showing how badly telegraphed the warrior is.

How about something like a couple of ticks of 100B → Whirl → Weapon Swap(Interrupts animation) → Eviscerate? Not sure if could rival a good killshot crit, but the more the merrier, at least when it comes to burst rotations.

What about build? Here’s what I’ve come up with, any improvements?

why not scholar runes? its 3% more damage

We’ll need to be below 25% health for Desperate Power, so we wouldn’t get that final 10% buff from Scholar Runes. If I did the math right, that means we’d get +6% critical damage from Scholar Runes, and +7% damage from Runes of Strength.

That being said, I’m not 100% sure which rune set would be optimal when below that 90% health threshold, so feel free to correct me if I’m wrong when assuming it’d be Runes of Strength
