Warrior WvW Rifle Exploit?

[Quirin.1076]

I was just one shot by a warrior using a rife in WvW while I was on my warclaw..  They just put someone in a down state and I was running by, I was going to attack, but I was one shot and instantly killed.  How is that a thing?

Being on the Warclaw modifies your armor rating, it makes it alot easier to get one-shot, and that extra 8k of health isn't going to protect you much since that's barely an autohit on a glass damage build.

 

We've already learned these lessons with 100-0 Sic 'Em Soulbeasts.

 

Btw, the attack was most likely "GunFlame".

Yeah I talked to another teammate in WvW and they said the same thing as you.  I was on an engineering build, full durability holosmith build.  They said it was most likely a double shot, first shot hit me for10k to dismount, and second shot can hit for over 20K, which was at my max health on that engineering build which would have appeared as instant down.   They knew exactly what was needed to do that kind of damage on a warrior with a rifle and runes/sigils.  They said the same thing you said though.

Crazy amount of damage though

Now I want to try this build... Any ideas what it might be?

As Mariyuuna said, no you where not. You where on full glass warclaw build 😛

Engaging ranged enemies with the warclaw is a bad idea and if you do, have your leaps ready and plan your dismount exactly. When you get knocked off and fall to the ground, you're not only stunned long enough for a zerker to pound you into the ground - you're still full glass. And in that split second you can get instakilled if they already have incoming attacks (or die from fall damage lol).

might be normal....   but i also heard someone else say that they got hit by a 21k hit by Warrior rifle today.... maybe there is something broken....  

Its ANET-Spaghetti code... you never know...    

 

But sounds like you just got blasted cuz your glass, ngl.

but doesn't killing the warclaw just knock you down?

It does but you are still a warclaw for a brief moment ie same stats as if you where still riding.

A ton of damage at the same time cause funky behavior. I remember this dragonhunter that could kill in 0.2 seconds with judge (ie using macro to chain delayed skills at the exact instant a 1200 judge arrive at the target) and I literally died before I died. Thats no joke, I had the downstate skills before I was below like 10k hp and completely dead before I hit 0 hp, watched it frame by frame lol.

Of course the warclaw isnt that extreme, but still.

Remember this is WvW. You used to die going down stairs.
