I can name at least 30 different abilities that can do over 8k damage upfront in wvw while also being 200x easier to land, with no channels, lower cooldown and sometimes even ranged!

Let's start:

• True Shot

LOL no.

btw you can type "/wiki Churning Earth" in game and it will take you to the wiki.

From there you can do calculations.

LOL no.

This is about wvw.

True shot can do over 8k in wvw.

Yeah sure; 2600+ power, 220% crit damage DH with 10+ might stacks, aegis on, and firing from 1200 range vs. opponent with 0 toughness, is crippled + 25 stacks of vuln?

As someone who actually roams with DH I can tell you that the most you'll be hitting with trueshot against squishier roamers is 6k. Vast majority of the time you hit 5k crits and if the opponent has damage reduction traits or protection you get 3-4k crits. Trueshot is a shadow of what it once was.

I don't know why but this title makes me think:"Whats churning earth and why did it crit me for over 8,000 damage find that out and more tonight on the 6:00 news."

DPS loss.

[Xillllix.3485]

Just saying, glass ele gets hit for 18k CoR and that coming damage is from a heavy class.

Very true. Dem Revs one-shot me when I'm not paying enough attention. And I don't even get a red circle on the ground as a warning.

i am playing a roaming drunk engineer and was harassing a black gate zerg tail. I was fighting 3 guys and i used my healing elixir and even with the heal i dropped from half orb to down state.

Why is this possible ?

Because you're drunk and forgot to trait Self-Regulating Defenses.

Self-Regulating Defenses would have done nothing in the OP's situation. SRD only triggers when struck while below 25% health. If you get 1-shot from 50% health SRD does not trigger because you where never struck while below 25%.

What's Vault and why 12382 damage?

Daredevil staff skill that when built right will crit for very high damage.

Would imagine you are middle ground tanky to more squishy given those numbers have been higher.

[Chasind.3128]

Ele doesn't have alot going for it, they're a jack of all trades but a master of literally none anymore because all people do is complain that eles won't just roll over & die for them.Just the way it is, it was a well timed skill from the ele's part.

Hits a lot harder than 8k when the stars align properly (stacking bonus buffs and various things via traits.)

Very fun build but brown bears will 1 shot you.

Next time don't black out "Legendary defender".

You're welcome to assume that but your assumption is wrong :wink:

Not sarcasm, it was a very logical assumption, one I would have made too.

Okay, ambient creature then? o__o

Nope.

The stars aligned, that's all (damage bonuses, might, invulns, less than 50% health, stunned, burning and so on). Was also pre-patch on the Fortitude buffs if you remember those, so it's an old picture.I think roughly about the same time they decreased the damage on it and decreased the channel time too, used to have a 3s channel if I remember right.

The highest I've managed since Feb 6th is about 28k, wasn't sure what that hit though but it was someone or something in a tail end of the zerg, got my 1 hit in and died.

[Lasiurus.4067]

Funny to see my One Shot Weaver Video on this topic haha.Since last balance patch Ele has a skill to make next 5 attack +25% DPS...Before with my build I usually crit between 10k & 20k. Sometimes more. Now... It's not rare I reach the 30k.But of course 100% squishy, everyone one shot me, & I died if I dont one shot all the ennemy at the first time.

Ok lol, sure. With a big fat red circle everyone jumps out and the 2-3 meteors that hit something getting blocked.
