I'm alot more interested in how you're getting hit for those numbers. Are you letting yourself get vuln stacked? Out of context old ss is old.Really I run zerker in wvw and I rarely see numbers over 4-5k from tof (maybe because its easy to dodge) and never over 5k fro holy strike.

2.52 damage modifier (That is absolutely bonkers if I'm being honest post feb patch) Edit: On test of faith.

4000 Power, 1100 Weapon Power, let's throw out a 3.5 damage modifier (not hard, 2.5ish from crit alone), and hit a minstrel guardian with no damage reduction up.

4000 1100 2.52 / 3500 = 31683168 * 4.0 = 11,088

So yeah, a 12,505 hit is super easy against someone without full toughness gear on.

Just last night I took a 6k hit from Test of Faith. That isn't a lot, but when adding the context that I was playing Prot Holo with 2.4k armor, and while having Protection I have 40% damage reduction... That's kind of crazy. Pretty much nothing hits me for more than 3k when I have Protection on that build and Test of Faith did double that.

Honestly I'm more interested in the poor fellow only managing 225 damage on a rapid fire... they clearly need some assistance with their build.

Prob a thief or ele only way that dmg that high cause hiting 9k is pip dream on other people that run any kind of armor. guard relies to much on not being attacked at all to land big hits like that
