Guild Wars 2

The target was the Up-path, first spider boss (cone poison AoE, and AoE shotgun). This was close to the end of the fight, the boss was under 25% health. I have the following trait spec

17 in deadly arts (the first trait line, may have name wrong): Gain might when using venom.

30 in Acrobatics: Gain might when rolling, Gain 2 initiated every once in awhile, Gain initiated on weapon swap.

10 in Trickery: Gain fury, swiftness, might on steal

Main set: Sword/pistol
Alt set: Pistol Dagger

Utilities: Poison venom, Skale venom, role for initiative, dagger storm

Basically, I managed to break 10k total damage with one pistol whip. The damage were 8 instance of 1100-1200 damage, and one instance of 1700 damage. I had poison and scale venom both active when i did the pistol whip. I cannot recall how many stacks of might I had. I had green lv65 armor, green lv65 jewelry and yellow lv65 weapons (although i doubt the attribute numbers are the caues of this).

My party consisted of Guardian, Thief, Mesmer, Necromancer, and Engineer, so there is plenty of might and vulnerability. However, the damage should still have not been that high. My damage output for all other pistol whip is about 2k-2.5k, breaking 3k very rarely (I have good attack for my level, but my crit chance is very low).

I have not been able to reproduce this bug. I will attempt some more.

Thank you,
TJL

Getting hit by the spiders poison spray ups your damage by a ton. The downside is it always gets me to stay in too long and die.
