That's about 14.6k on a 2k armor target, with all damage % increases up. Very crazy damage, but still very specific scenarios (borderline unrealistic), and still not 19k lol.

I put this to the test after work last night, highest I managed to hit was 12k on a thief. Was extremely satisfying, instantly downed him from near full. Something else worth noting, however, was axe 2. I managed to jack that thing up to do 5k PER AXE, so at close range it was a 20k burst. Pulled that off on an enemy ranger, zero'd him out with the one move. I have very little experience with mainhand axe, as I always thought it was more for condi builds. This is quickly proving me wrong, seems to be a very situational but underrated weapon for ranger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noha.3749 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Guess i accidently brought a few additional axe powerrangers back to the game :p Happy to see something else than GS/LB, but that axe mainhand is damn scary :anguished: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosdurza.3291 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Yeah it's pretty nasty. Idk how more people are not running this on roaming builds, mix up some stealth engages with it and it's gonna be an insta down for anyone that isn't a heavy.

They don't need malicious backstab to give you a last surprise.Generally, the build is Zerks with Mug and Executioner, Assassin's Signet, Rune of the Scholar or Infiltration, and blinding powder.You pop assassin's Signet and Blinding Powder. Revealed trainingYou start the animation for the backstab, and you steal onto your foe from behind. Deadeye is self explanitory. Daredevil will usually take havok mastery for the additional 7% melee damage. And Core Thieves can take what ever the hell they please.You also have Trickery, and you'd want to bring Leading blows up to 15% by spamming weapon skills at nothing.The way it works is the Mug hits first and usually chunks people. If they have no toughness they will normally drop below 50% if they are not a heavy health class.Your next blow to land is backstab which will ruin a large chunk of your foes health. Executioner gives an additional 20% of damage. Scholar gives 10% if you're above 90. Or Rune of Infiltration, which gives 12% more when they are below 50. Even if you are revealed, because the sneak attack animation is already in motion, you get the damage value for that plus the revealed bonus power.Wait what? Mug takes away 50% hp? That's like 10k dmg. My mug is like 2k at most. How do you get mug to be 10k? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSin.5682 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Its pretty much proved at this point that every class has at least one YOLO Build for cheap kills.Core builds, for instance, are know for hitting really hard by stacking traits that grant damage % bonuses.Mind me, by "one shoot builds" we take in consideration classes that can concentrate enough damage to one shoot a person in the blink of a second.If you want a class capable of hitting hard with ONE skill with ONE hit, you prolly will prefer or Weaver or SoulBeast. DE comes as the most viable and safe build tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhaid Zhem.6508 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Power shatter chrono or mirage, the combo needs some skills and fingers, but once you got it you kill everybody in 0.5sec.Deadeye or daredevil backstabs, dagger or rifle :d) Critical Strikes Spec + assassin signet (deadeye : +"malicious intent" + "be quick or be killed") (darevil: +impact strike for the few last PV and instant Finisher) edit + signet of shadow for extra 10 vulnerability. I've never use "Mug", I don't want to miss the backstab if i faill the F1, and actually I don't need it to OS players.Both with stealth, shadowsteps, teleports etc. (QQ they nerfed ellusive mind, mirage is dead I don't know how to equip BS in my skillbar ... stealth away mirage cloak shadowstep/teleport mirror daze, daze again, and again 0.5sec burst confusion/torment at every hit* Oh yeah, mirage is dead (I really hate this spec))Soulbeast : a stun + maw + wordly impact ... but it is very obvious, you can (I hope you do) dodge or interrupt that, be careful of quickness or the shout "sick'em", or you die.Radiance guard : +10% dmg +50% critikes + 10% against bruning foes +250 ferocity, you add the +20% dmg form unscathed contender, the shadowstep from sword or meditation + #5 focus + F1 + anyskill you want "Radiance guard is trash" :p :p :p :p Full Valkyrie/knight + runes of durability or leadershipElem/weaver scepter fresh air : a bit like mesmer, but less range, less sustain ... But I don't know the "axe necro one shot", I'd like to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeceiverX.8361 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Every profession in the game can sub-1-second one-combo/one-hit kill any other profession in the game, but with one big caveat:It depends on builds of both involved.You're not one-shotting a buffed Scrapper or even Holosmith with a modicum of toughness, no matter what you play or try and do. Period. With warrior/ranger/engi (again), a combo-build won't kill it from passive invulns if they play them.Some classes are designed around dealing burst damage, and some of them when opting for builds builds are easier to play than others or require different skillsets, but to say it's restricted to a given spec/class is disingenuous. @chaosdurza.3291 said:I definitely believe it happened, because I've had warriors hit me on my guardian for 12k with GS 5. Went into gw2 builder editor, tried to figure out what combination of stats/bonus damage effects/boons they had to have used to recreate that damage and it was absolutely impossible. I hit for 22k crits with Worldly Impact on my ranger, and by all calculations that should be completely impossible with my build, but I do that consistently. Something must be borked with either the damage calculations or my math. Probably my math, but I'm following the formulas listed on the wiki for the individual skills.Your math is definitely wrong.WI ranger can push well into the 30k+ area. There are people running builds with 10k+ autoattacks in longbow. Odds are you're just running a build that's objectively better in more circumstances, or one that's objectively not very strong.Damage is super-free in the game right now in most of the elite specs. Basically the only thing that can deal more damage in the PvP contexts on core is Guardian, mostly because DH got its asinine burst rightfully nerfed with its AoE coverage and game-rule-breaking traps, and FB is a support spec.

(Or 99% of other prof/setups) on my DH hybrid burn guard in multiple target settings (which is most everywhere in WvW) and it won't even be close. Those two prof (as well as thieves, holos and weavers) can certainly one shot a single foe, but my kind of setup will one shot as many as 10 and I have plenty of footage showing it. Search youtube for Figrin bomb if you doubt it.But yeah, there is currently several ways to create a '1 shot' with how the game has been developed.

(No or almost no preparation time needed)Onehit would be one hit killing the enemy from 100% health. Like thief backstab from stealth.So for now, I wanna go with necro as I think you are incorrect.Sure those skills might be enough to onehit enemies. But it needs a lot of preparation. You would need to get 25might somehow and then hit the enemy hoping for a lucky crit.Next up, the combo of well+whirl combo. This would also need a lot of preparation, because you need the enemy to stand inside that well.Nobody is so stupid to do that, and if someone is, you are bashing a noob/newbySo again this needs a lot of preparation. Bait out dodges and stunbreaks, then stun the enemy with elite shout and do the combo. Sure by this point you might not even need the well anymore. But that not oneshot for me.Oneshot is, if a guard jumps you via hammer 2+his teleport+weaponswapOr a rev jumps you via shiroport +sword4+ legendswap+staff 5Or a ranger pressing sic'em+take in the pet from soulbeast ability, then pewpew for 30k unlockable damage.Or that mesmer thing: invisible into daze into greatsword +shatter comboYes, necro skills can hit pretty hard. Like 12k axe 2, 20k spiral in shroud. But necro is so damn slow, that you should bury yourself if you are getting oneshot by a necro.Mostly because every other class has either much better range or much better mobility to perform the oneshot.Now you could tell me, but ele needs a lot of setup as well. Yes that's true. The channeling takes a lot of time, but then you will always use the no casttime teleport to onehit the enemy.You can't say that for necro. Necros hard hitting skills have long casttimes. Executioner's scythe and gravedigger both have big visuals and 1,25 seconds casttime. Even with quickness that's still a lot. or ghastly claws is a 1,75seconds channel. All of these skills are either easy interruptable or easy dodgeable(by walking out of range or dodging)/blockable.
