Current glass cannon builds

[Brimstone Jack.3462]

Who's got those crazy glass cannon builds? I don't even mean competitive builds. Straight-up meme-worthy, one-two shot unranked match steamroller glass cannon garbage builds.

[Dantheman.3589]

Most are exaggerated- completely like post of 30k+ on all builds. Complete nonsense the highest on thief in 1 shot will be like 10-11k but normally like 5k-7k. Most are completely exaggerated, as far as I know only real one is ranger becuz just have quickness and lb2 will hit fast for a lot plus reveal and unblockable all others are not true 1 shot. 5+ secs of attacking a target doesn’t equal a 1 shot

I fought a kinetic stabilizer scrapper that would like 3 shot me while spamming cc. Had stupid amounts of superspeed too.

Dont play engi but guessing it's like this

Overheat holo is probably the highest most effective easiest 1 shot. It actually can 1shot from stealth. Has great mobility and ways to reset.

Use bombs and blasts and leap to stack big stealth. Run in and overheat for aoe crit for 18k on top of whatever else you did out of stealth.... (Intel sigils guarantee crits) when in combat on it too.

Rocket boots for mobility, another finisher for stealth and a great way to make distance, to reset, stealth back up, and go again. Third utility is whatever, I like S - throw mine is another big damage dealer that could be added. Heal is whatever, I like AED. Elite is whatever.

But 100% serious, if someone seriously learned how to use this/tweak it to make sure they always land overheat they could get away with maybe valk or cav...? It could actually be a viable build imo. It's got everything you could need.

Rifle Holo is definitely the zerker to play. High CC, high damage (can kill an opponent in a couple seconds) while still have pretty good sustain as a zerker.

Ranger core? Learned from some of you to build those 1hko bursts ranger core has to be pretty glassy.

[choovanski.5462]

you can hit some big numbers on warrior, but it means zero sustain B)

even necro won't feel tanky when you bop em B)

[Zexanima.7851]

Ranger. Probably something similar to this build? Idk, dont play a lot of ranger. Could probably run axe/axe for winters bite over bow too.

[Revolution.5409]

Warrior, Soulbeast, Holosmith, Mesmer, Reaper, Power Herald, Fresh Air Ele

[Stand The Wall.6987]

been hit by a 18k arc divider and 12k vault (meh close enough), so berserker and daredevil. those builds might even be somewhat viable.

[Psycoprophet.8107]

Honestly almost all classes have a glass near one shot type build, even ones built with innate tankyness. Just expect to be useless in other aspects of play and be punished for any of ur mistakes harder.

[MyPuppy.8970]

Ranger can hit hard, but i wouldn't say it's totally glass.

I also got hit with a 12k vault but that thief was super squishy.

The warrior zerk build is decent damage and has great sustain...for a glass cannon. I’d be more worried about this than the 12k vault daredevil.

core is actually tankier, and relies a lot on pet damage. soulbeast is the glass spec

There’s some vault builds that are ok. One of them staff/staff with valk +daredevil and crit strikes can hit at highest in match of like 13-14k. But it’s not exactly a 1 shot build for one a lot of vaults are really gonna do 8k in realistic situations, plus it’s mobility is bad it’s a side noder/ brawler that can still do damage. Viable yeah after testing I think so, but it’s not exactly suited as “1 shot” per say, that’s just the damage out put speaking for it’s self

Meh if your playing old school acro with zerker you might be super squish and occasionally hit 12k vault, but that’s rare and isn’t optimal at all since for one it’s squish. The build ppl are trying rn on staff is like a side noder it’s not exactly squish becuz 1.) high hp 2.) lots of dodges 3.) passive healing from EF 4.) about 1.3-2.2k healing per big vault and other crits because of invigorating precisionThe one I’m talking about has better sustain than zerker and for one can actually side node, way harder to kill and probably tankier

[Brimstone Jack.3462]

How about for arena? What builds have those insane spikes that just drop the opponent if you get the drop on them?

[Dajas.4715]

Rangers war horn still does insane damage, its easier to block at least some off its damage but can easily still do between 10 and 15k.

Yes. BULLSHIT. Ranger damage mods mostly only affect single hits. With maul at base dmg of 1.8k hitting for 16k crits.... maybe 20k in a perfect storm (which doesn't happen in real play), The 25%, 25%, 50% dmg modifiers are on the single hit. You dont get those on waehoen 4 which is a 900 dmg base, with multiple hits. You just will NOT be getting 10k to 15k on it. So I'm calling bullshit.

[Dajas.4715]

Put your maths book away mate. You don't even know the build I'm using. But the war horn does do over 10k but at the same time if they have retaliation they can easily do 10k damage back.

[Brimstone Jack.3462]

Where's the setting so I can make it stop saying "kitten?"
