SaltyDogs.9073 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 I've been seeing Gun Flame do 12k-28k of damage from the death recap repeatedly. How does this one skill deal that much? I looked it up on the wiki and can't figure out the reason. Is the death recap bugged? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor Boyer.6524 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 He's right you know. Gunflame is supposed to have a lot less power damage than Killshot. If he was actually seeing 28k Gunflames, something is wrong with that. I'll log in and check it out tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Boyer.6524 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 @"SaltyDogs.9073" With a PvEish build tweaked for raw DPS, my Gunflames hit around 15k with little variation in the numbers "14 on lows, nearly 16 on highs". However the Killshots were hitting solidly around 20k, also with little variation. If I had been in Eternal Coliseum and had the +20% damage buff from the sword artifact, the Gunflames would have been around 18k and the Killshots would have been around 24k. This was all tested on light golems keep in mind. The build I was using to achieve that DPS would be the most unviable build possible to even attempt running in Unranked.Not sure what you were seeing, maybe a bug or maybe not. Just pointing out that any Gunflame or even Killshots above 20k is abnormal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaith.8256 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Probably just read the 28k number beside Gun Flame (2 hits) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaltyDogs.9073 Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 @Trevor Boyer.6524I'm confident that I've been seeing above 20K from the death recap. Sometimes I mistaken it as a deadeye's attack because I get one-shot by it, but realize it's gun flame from the recap. Does it add the burn damage too?@Chaith.8256Sorry, I'm not quite sure what you mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kumouta.4985 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 death recap adds all the times you've been hit by it together. You could've been shot twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zyreva.1078 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I got oneshot by gunflame twice recently (in WvW, not PvP though) and in both cases the combat log displayed 2 separate hits (for about 10-15k each). Since my health dropped from full to zero pretty much instantly, those hits must have happened at the same time. And i remember a gunflame bug from shortly after HoT release (or even beta, not sure) that would cause it to hit twice. It got fixed eventually, but maybe this issue is back in certain circumstances?

Nath Forge Tempete.1645 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 @"Chaith.8256"Sorry, I'm not quite sure what you mean.the actual rifle warrior build consist on entering berserk mode then using your signet (unblockable etc) and press 3 skills : Gun Flame (F1) => 9 to 15 k dmgBerserk Healing skill => refresh gun flameGun Flame again => 9 to 15k againSo basically Chaith were saying that the same skill hit you twice but only showed once in the logs. so basically 28k = in fact 2 X 14 k dmg ... which is the "normal based dmg" dealt on a squishy class. (on full zerk warrior)Dunno if log count the same skill twice as one if no other dmg is dealt in the same time tho... should be weird this way and very unlikely. but no screenshot so we can't say for sure.

Vicariuz.1605 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 here you go for those doubters, EZ 26k from 1 gunflame then a follow up 24k gunflame, going by the logic of earlier posts, this should register as 50k (2 hit) on death recap. :)https://clips.twitch.tv/ProductiveWealthyVultureBuddhaBarENJOY!also, twitch.tv/enagez is great rifle pvp content, every one should watch him!

It might be doing too much, if it's really bugged or doing more damage than intended we will see more people running it for cheese with unblockable signet.

SaltyDogs.9073 Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 I hope that this gets addressed in the upcoming patch. I've seen way more berserkers running around than usual with rifles. This, on top of deadeye, is inappropriately obnoxious to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor Boyer.6524 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 It's all in the Signet Of Fury. The first time around I had overlooked it because I was not aware of the buffs it received. Check out this video. I apologize for the bad quality, my laptop is a potato. Regardless though, the people running these builds have 0 defense. Just attack them with like a Support FB and they'll die.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rD20KTFNWPI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor Boyer.6524 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I do have to say though, I have a hard time believing anyone is surviving for any duration of time while running a build like the one I used to achieve that damage. Without Defense line and endure pain utility, you'd just get spanked immediately in this DPS meta and sat in a corner. If the Berserkers you guys are seeing are actually survivable and healing with Adrenal Health as usual, I have no idea what's going on. If they tried running Defense over Strength or Arms, they shouldn't be hitting that kind of damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
