I want to try and get 400k+ on her but that's my highest for now.
On normal Arah Veterans the highest I did was around 40k'ish

Build was 10/30/0/0/30, full zerkers (ruby orbs in armors), 96% crit chance, from memory it was 212%crit damage and over 4.5k attack power.

(DISCLAIMER: DO NOT RUN THIS BUILD IN DUNGEONS.)

I was about to say the same lol being a Glass Cannon in dungeons is fun but not exactly useful to yourself or the team

My highest was about 24k with a glass cannon build and 18-20k with a defense build.

I remember there being a debate over this, but is this already a known fact that they don't stack?

Two sigils that give a flat percent bonus like accuracy or force don't stack. All of the proc based sigils don't stack because they all share cooldowns with each other. The only sigils that stack are stacking sigils, like bloodlust. If you're dual wielding sigils of bloodlust, each kill will grant you two stacks instead of one.

Thanks for letting me know. That's a real bummer though.

48k on Old Tommy.
25 might 25 vuln, Banner of Strength/Discipline and Empower Allies from the other Warrior, Empowered, target was bleeding so +10% dmg etc etc.

That's not counting mobs that take more damage like Dredge fract/critters etc, else I think the best is 1 million+ on a crab in South Cove (Killshot not HB tho).

Hi. It's nice to see this thread still alive

I've hit up to 48k in CoF as level 75. Check my video here:

Keep in mind I'm level 75 and also on video you can only see 42k. With 12% more bonus damage from 6 more boons [Empowered] + 2 BL stacks, constant 25 mights and also 3% more bonus damage if I dodge I hit as high as 48k, and could possibly reach 49k - with a bit of luck with weapon range topping all hits). ATM I am waiting for my ascended earrings, cause with current gear I am unable to break 49k (did all the math), and I aim to release next video breaking 50 on him.

It's worth noting this boss is perfect to test your HB damage as he doesn't have any damage modifers and is wearing light armor, plus is easily accessible.

Hey !

Would you mind sharing your build ( sigil / consumable ) with us ?

http://gw2buildcraft.com/ is really great for this

[cold2]

On a typical mob with typical armor, probably around 40k.

Edited by cold2, 15 March 2013 - 04:17 PM.

[Krulik]

I don't mind sharing the build as I think more warriors doing more damage is always better experience for all players. However I wouldn't advise to use this build on daily basis, as it is only specifically designed to push out as much juice out of HB as u can. I am pretty sure there is no better build dedicated for this.

This is the build used in the video: http://gw2buildcraft...z.6e.6a.69.6m|e

Now things to keep in mind: this build is only designed to maximize HB damage at times. Which means it equalls less overall sustained damage, and while you might see highest possible HB numbers in game, you will also not see them too often. Another thing to note is outside of CoF and when not attempting to 'break records' on Slave Driver I use Superior Sigil of Force as it's definitely better than Air/Fire counterparts with hits above 40k. I would also use a stronger conusmable potion (10% one) on next attempts from now on. Which won't happen too soon for reasons mentioned in my previous post.

If you want a modifed, more sustained version of the build which is great in everyday usage and great overall just replace 1 rune with Ruby Orb and depending if you want to do solo or group play use either Sigil of Strength or Fire/Air. If you also can't get used to using dodge before you do damage, you will do more damage with 20/25/0/10/15 version of the build. Plus Fast Hands is quite handy at times. Thanks for your interest, and good luck fellow warrior brothers!

Whoops, i meant to add that fury was included in my total crit chance. 76% crit chance was what i had without fury as well.

For maximum damage output, crit damage > raw power so maxing crit damage trait would be the best. In theory 30 strength + 30 discipline would achieve the highest 100 blades damage, assuming you somehow crit all 8 hits. 25 stacks of vulnerability and 25 might stacks also helps a lot.

The build i used wasn't anything special but here it is: http://gw2skills.net...hiOPgiJqUPazu7A

Also two of the same sigils won't actually stack with one another.

I would like to know which Runes and Sigils you were using when you did that monster hit.

I got a question, so when I started farming Cof I was criting for 16-24k with 100b, then some wars in the group told me some things to fix for next time. So, i fixed them, now I consistently crit for 20-28k. Now when I'm out farming CoF, people are telling me they hit for 30k+ on a regular basis. My stats are higher then some of theirs, my traits are almost the same (one guy went for more vit, whereas I went for more crit damage), yet he claims he hits 33k. We have the same sigils, almost all the traits are the same except for 1, my crit damage is higher, power is the same, my crit chance is higher, yet he hits harder. I'm currently running 20/25/0/0/25 traits being Strength 5, 9, arms 5, 10, Discipline being 5, 7. Crit damage is 86% in the dungeon, crit chacne is 52%, attack is 2967. Is there anything else I can do to extract more damage?

The consistent 8 to 10% extra damage from Empowered is better than 10% more crit damage

Look at your achievements under Weapon Master, Master of Overkill.

My best hit is 142,236

I have no idea how that huge number happened.

Different kinds, you have to rely on other groupmates for those.

hits on white critters count, my highest is a 360k hit on a bunny with Rush on Greatsword

have a guardian in the party, have him use SYG and HTL, 4 more buffs to play with, cast signet of rage, add swiftness, that's a total of 7 buffs, 14% more damage, and I heard next patch will buff up the % damage on Empowered to 3% per buff, so it'll be 21%
If you don't have a guardian available (a lot of speed runs in CoF take 4 warriors and 1 mesmer, so missing some boons there) mesmer can also apply some boons also.

I personally have a full set of Lyssa runes for all buffs upon cast of elite, that gives me all 9 boons for 5 seconds, so a 18% damage increase, I do not recommend using Lyssa runes if you're trying to optimize for damage, ruby orbs do a better job, but for funsies it's nice.

Can't remember exactly, but I think my highest is something like 24k or 25k, hit that regularly on CoF runs, can't remember if I've gone higher than that.

OK I tried this out, got 4 buffs (most I could get) 14 stacks of might, and my damage went down from 28k, to about 24k. What am I doing wrong? everything is serker exoctic, except necklace thats ascended. ruby jewels, traits 20/20/0/10/20. with +10% damage vs flame legion, +9% from tonic. I still don't see where I'm missing damage.
