Your Best Burst!

dpencil

The thread about target dummy dps got me thinking about PVP burst damage. I haven't seen a "post your best burst" thread lately, so here you go.

Rules for posting:
You may cut/paste from different parses but all damage sources should be in the order they would normally appear and happen within a 2 second time frame.
You can use a Target Skeleton for a controlled environment, just make sure you divide the total damage by 2, so it reflects the PVP values you'd really get.
We are not considering defensive measures like Impen, or shields preventing crits. Think of this as a "best case" scenario.

Here's mine. I did have to grab my Mage's Wrath from another parse, but the rest is all from a single parse. The Familiar pulse is actually a crit too, it just didn't show that way for some reason.

Ummm idk. My Assassin's Wills can hit for over 20k on heavy armor, all impen players, and I wear heavy impen myself. That's best cast scenario. Most are a hair under 20k.

How many repetitions did you do to get all those crit to line up? Talk about commitment!

It was actually my first one when I'd gotten the skeleton down to execute range and got a frags proc.

I member when you were suprised that a frag hit for under 20k.

I can get 55k dps on a 1s parse on the dummy with a fully charged heavy attack immediately followed by a pre-proc'd frags if they both crit. Kind of a pointless test though imo. I'm a bit dubious that you did all that damage in 2s, shooting star takes about 2s to hit and daedric prey has a 3.5s timer. How did you do the test? I've had a 24k single target dps reading in pvp before.

@FriedEggSandwich Prey is on a 6 second timer.
You prep with the Familiar so that the 5th pulse which stuns hits just before everything drops (people know to block frags but don't usually count the Familiar pulses).
Prey a couple seconds later.
Then some Force Pulse spam to proc frags.
Then Shooting Star, which takes a couple seconds to actually land.
Then Mage's Wrath just before the kaboom.
Launch frags as the Familiar pulse stuns, Prey blows up, and Shooting Star falls. The target will likely fall into execute range if they survive that, at which point the Wrath execute procs.

All of this with Power Surge up, Elemental Drain on the target, and both the Weapon power enchant and Burning Spell Weave proc active.

It's a thing of beauty.

Its not mine, but I saw a screenshot this week of a 36k assassin's will proc on a cyro death recap

Mine was in PvP, Curse, Fury, Dodge roll + Crystal Frag, streak turn back dawnbreaker and curse explodes with fury, he didn't know what happen until he saw that burst masterpiece.

I've also done a a very good triple cancel on a NB back in time when it wasn't patched, Heavy attack+lightattack+surprise then incap+bash and surprise in 2 seconds, poor mdk.

If this is a "how fast can I kill a newb" thing, then for me it's under 6 seconds. Templars, you know?

But now that I think of it, I did practically 1-shot a sorc once upon a time... I had sun fire and flame reach ticking on him with BSW procced when I hit backlash. I used soul assault on his shields and then fired a heavy attack and RD just after (landed all within a second) backlash popped. Full health sorc with shield just went poof.

What kind of a burst you can pull off within 2 seconds?
My record would be exactly: 711.417 damage
This was several patches ago though and I got very lucky with the group I killed (TS-Raid, 19 people within 2 seconds). Solo and non-emperor. Unfortunately, I didn't record it. Man, I was so mad that I didn't lol.
