How does it work really? I managed to break %50 of gorseval’s break bar so far (with slick shoes and big ol bomb), I saw couple of videos that engineers with only slick shoes were breaking the break bar of gorseval in 3-4 seconds. And i am doing the excatly same thing (running in circles and everything) but so far no success
Like in the video, you can find one herald and one mesmer to give your “raid buffs”. While fighting with golem you will miss only food buffs. Beside that it will boost your dps because there is no fight mechanic to avoid, so you can execute your dps rotation perfectly. And this is not a comparison of tempest with reaper. Don’t get me wrong I want this because i dont find 21k dps with 40 k burst believable. If you are making 21k dps you need to kill that golem under 4 sec constantly and sometimes you need to kill it under 2 sec cuz you are bursting with 40 k
Edit: Btw I couldnt care less about tempest dps, but this kind of statements are forming an idea of “meta”. Therefore it should come with some sort of proof at least.

My ele does an average of 21k with bursts of nearly 40k dps.
I’d be interested in a video / build description for that. After all, you don’t have an in-game DPS meter either, so how did you determine that value?
I do have an ingame DPS meter. The problem is that it doesn’t work for necros since necros have too many damage sources and it can’t keep up since it works by SS’ing the combat log and calculating the damage from there. This is why I want an official one.
I can try and get some screen shots next week during our raid, but here is the video of our sabetha kill from our healers prospective. I was one of the tempests in this fight, I unfortunately got downed 2 seconds before we killed her and mist form wouldn’t trigger, so no eternal title for us this week
My build is the standard staff tempest build I will have to find the build later today as i’m heading out atm.
I would love to see some math on the necro dps since I can’t get my dps meter to work and trying to figure it out from watching damage ticks is pretty spotty. I’m hoping that next week I can bring my necro into sabetha to try it out myself.
I really dont know anything about tempest but with 21 k dps, you should kill the indestructible golem in 4 seconds. If you make a video of your dps rotation with open combat log, i might believe you, otherwise your ingame dps meter doesnt mean anything man…
Take a look at this for example;

In a static fight, one ele and one mesmer beating the golem, and they barely hit 4 sec kill time. Maybe mesmer is just autoattacking, i dont know… And i like to see 40k burst too

Pls dont let this topic die, i’ve been referring people to this topic all day
You call that a burst?
First of all get a Focus.
Zap him a little with Arc Lightning to add Vulnerability and start shaving off some of that Death Shroud health.
Then Gale – Lightning Strike – Dragon’s Tooth – Phoenix – Comet – Arcane Blast – Lightning Flash – Arcane Wave – HurlThis is potentially the highest burst, but there’s really no need to involve Earth attunement, Water autoattack is very good and even the Water Trident packs a 2-3k crit when traits align.
Why this works? Damage increasing factors:
20% – Tempest defence
20% – Bolt to the heart
10% – Scholar runes
10% – Stone splinters
5% – Vital striking
5% – Force sigil
If you play it right most of these will have an effect at one point or another, adding the combo up to 22k+ damage (Heavy dummy dies before you can unload everything)It doesn’t instagib a Necro with Protection (unlike Thieves and Mesmers), and it definitely shouldn’t, but Ele is definitely capable of taking on such a Necro and the OP-ness of Necros shouldn’t be judged by some Valkarie sustain build while Necro has it’s defences up.
The image below depicts ~23k damage on a Heavy Dummy in mere seconds. That comes after you could potentially be spamming Arc Lightning and Lightning Strike from a safe distance and before firing off Hurl and entering Hulk invulnerable mode.
And then there’s Fiery Greatsword with Bolt to the heart and Stone splinters trait. Massive damage, evasion, gap closing and creating.
You guys even trying to counter Necros? No, just rolling Necros.
Oww, you’re cute, trying to post spvp section when you have no idea about it
The important thing is, necros joining to meta is a good thing, no one is arguing with that. And only thinking of meta shifting towards to condi comps is a great pleasure, but it SHOULD NOT be like this.
This game wasnt based on 1v1 strategies before, it was broken, and devs admitted it. They said “we gonna tone down aoe and let the players display their skills”. And then, they brought necro as a brain dead condi cleaver class. Sometimes even i say to my teammates that dont stomp the fallen enemy, let them try to rez him.. I have being playing necro since bwe2. Believe me i reeeeally wanted necro to get in meta back. But not like this, this is not fun, this is not skill based and this is not fair…
P.S Im glad that necromancer is viable. If only it makes the game more versatile and kills power and cleanse way of playing the game. I would be really glad that this just makes more classes viable and not the otherway around. If that is achieved we’re heading in a good direction even if it means changing. If this brings necromancers back to the game at the cost of removing other classes. Then necromancers should be toned down.
Nice airbag Let me ask this then;
Bringing down the immortal eles took 4-5 months. Do you think how long does it take this time?
