Guild Wars 2

I’ve played this game since release and a lot of hours in world vs world. Suddenly i face some players from the guild “JUMP” of Dzagonur Server this evening (Dzagonur invaders Germans)(I’m in fissure of woe) and for the first time strange things happened.
I was in battle with 8 guild members and there were only 3 players of them. We gank them because they were outnumbered but then all of us died in 3 or 4 seconds totally defeated. I remember a 1on1 against a warrior. I hit him with Death Blossom but in the very next moment he attacks me and i’m down and DEFEATED in 3 seconds. I check the combat log and i see that he did me like 4 skills in 1 seconds??? I have two screens that i can show. . You can see 13kk damage…

That’s no bug, and that’s not cheating. Let me explain.

You’re a low level I’m guessing, by the fact that your party member is too. The warrior who was attacking you was a level 80 warrior, probably with exotic gear, which is why he’s hitting so hard. Another thing you should know about WvW is that despite your level being scaled up, you’re considerably weaker in health, stats and damage compared to level 80s because of the gear you are using.

Hundred Blades is a skill that strikes several times. With the right gear, buffs, and sigils/gems you can crit massive amounts of damage with it, but here’s the thing. The warrior using this skill is set in place unless he cancels the ability. There’s your option. Dodge it. Once that skill is on cooldown he’ll output much less damage than he would’ve done.

Hope that clears things up.

That is what hundred blades does. It is multiple hits, over a channel, in which the attacker cannot move. This could have been coupled with Frenzy, and you also had a Veteran Guard crushing you for 2k+ damage.

Hundred Blades hits like a truck, but is very easily avoided, as again, the attacker is rooted for the duration. Have stability ready to pop and be ready to move out of the way when he gets on you.

They could have been cheating, but from the screen shot, it doesn’t look like anything wrong happened. You honestly don’t even need to dodge roll from a 100 blades … you just take a few steps back and they are missing. Keep moving, and don’t stand still for long … especially in PvP.

I’m sorry but youre not right. First: I’m level 80 with lvl 78/80 gear. Second: The warrior did 4 skills in 1 second and i was defeated in 2 seconds. This never happened to me. I have hundreds of kills and i faced a lot of warriors in 1vs1. NEVER and i say NEVER this has happen to me before. I’m not a random or a sunday player.

that wasn’t me but my friend. I did 1vs1 with the warrior and he did 4 skills in 1 seconds. I swear this isn’t possible , i also played the warrior and i can tell you this is impossibile. How can you even defeat me in 2 seconds???? And defeat all my mates in one hit . We were 8 against 3 and we died in 4 seconds totally defeated . It’s impossible

Warriors have a skill, called Frenzy I believe, that gives them Quickness. Coupled with Hundred Blades it results in an EXTREMELY fast cast time. Also, combined with the ‘For Great Justice’ utility, and the ‘Signet of Rage’ elite skill, it’s quite easy to rack up high numbers.

I don’t know, I wasn’t there. All I can go from is the screen shot. It looks like your friend was hit with “Chains of Light”, which applies Vulnerability to you with 3 stacks. There are Guardian spec’s that add more stacks with blinds/immobilizes, so you could have had multiple stacks just from the one Guardian hitting you with 2 instant cast skills.

So your friend is rooted, debuffed, and then are hit with 100 blades. Again, with skills like Frenzy (giving quickness, skills execute twice as fast), Fury/Might buffs … who knows. I can easily see it hitting for 13k. I have done damage similar to this using the standard build on the SPvP dummies.

This doesn’t look like a “zerg vs. zerg” fight, so likely, they popped many of their utility skills before they engaged … resulting in a lot of debuffs and buffs possibly. Also, 100 blades can hit multiple targets, and you all look rather close together in the picture.

Again, just trying to make sense of it all. But from what I see on the picture, I could see this being possible (lots of defensive debuffs, and Frenzy allowing the warrior to blast through the whole attack in 1-2 seconds).

I tried the warrior with Signet of rage , signe of mate frenzy and for great justice. It is possible to shot the target easy but then… how do you explain that 8 of us where killed in 4 seconds by the same warrior. We were all dead in 4 seconds. If the warrior is so op like this then this is a total fail. I mean , i don’t think that he didn’t used some exploit/cheat. I’ve never seen something like that

Hundred Blades is not a single-target skill, it is a cleave, meaning it’ll hit whoever is in front of him and happens to be close.

You were obviously close, or he wouldn’t have hit you with the Hundred Blades… >_>

I’m not entirely sure I believe you, everything seems too convenient for you. “We weren’t close”, “This never happened before”, “I tested it myself”.

You’ve got a single screenshot, of the aftermath damage. It really doesn’t say much =/

He had quickness boon and used hundred blades on you. The 13k hit at the end is against you when you are downed. When you are in a downed state you take a LOT more damage from all attacks. Nothing in this screen shot is “cheating”.
