Normally classes with lots of burst damage do not get high damage values over a whole battleground round, since their specialty is burst damage over a short period of time, then recovering, retreating or looking for a new target. Additionally with huge burst potential you also are more likely to kill people (stealing assists) than people with rather low or damage over time. Stamina toons are more the burst and move specs, so a lot of time you are re-positioning and looking for a new target. This means you have less sustained damage and actually less damage over a whole battleground round, still you get a high number of kills. Meanwhile classes with lots of aoe and dot damage will likely have less kills, but a lots of assists. Also they do sustained damage to several enemies and that probably for prolonged time, leading to much more damage over the whole fight. Classes like the typical ice warden can pull such high numbers with their ice aoes plus shalks, meanwhile you are rather focused on single target and burst damage.
I envy people, who leave a match with 1,2 mil dmg. You can say what you want, but big damage numbers are cool.
I play only stam classes (stamden atm), I usually get 1 or 2 place on scoreboard with decent amount of kills and assists, but my damage rarely goes higher than 500k. Where is the trick? Should I do my rotations faster? I mean, i choose my target, burst him down, retreat a bit, heal up, than do the same again. And when I check the final scoreboard, my 8 kills and 12 assists doesnt look cool when I see that my damage is like 350k I have max gear and I feel decent in pvp, but cant actually understand how the players who get 2-5 kills ends up with over a million dmg - do I steal their kills lol? Am I a hidden sorc? Or am i good at changing targets and finishing low hp ones? Or something else..I want to be like Krotha and hit 2,3 mil with stamina!

High damage numbers in the match end report aren't Indicative of a great built ...
My damage was higher then my friends yet the report had him with way more kills than me with really crappy damage numbers ...
But my assists was higher than his kills
He was rocking 20+ kills I had 3
He had 7 assists I had 37 assists
High damage at the end doesn't mean you had great kill streak
