Shrapnel Charge, High Explosives

[Rodeirk]

Is this supposed to be a joke? 1400 Valor and a sab eats me in 5 seconds?

Trion have you lost your mind?

I call Rifts demise starting Tuesday, May 15th.
For me, once again, the bird just hit the fan.
This is getting out of hand. Whatever happened to game balance?

What a joke Trion, seriously.

Unless he's 4pc, a Sab will not eat a full valor target in 5 seconds.

And if he is 4pc, you'd eat him in 2.

[Stanley Pain]

You weren't wearing full valor.

[Robes]

I have over 9000 valor and viod bolt still 1 shots me, nerf nao.

[Misterh8er]

Ya it is stupid. If Break Free is down you are dead before you get an attack off...

[LOveRH]

MMs can hit me for 1.4k with full valor. Sab doing it? Not surprising.

[Credo]

Video or it didn't happen.

5 seconds after all the charges were detonated, and the DoT has time to take it's effect? No heals? Anyway, I find it pretty unlikely.

I mean if you're in full or near full PR40 gear you could get Rapid Stepup up, shrapnel charge, Frag Bomb, Annihilation Bomb,Carpet Bomb, Frag Bomb, Frag Bomb, Frag Bomb, and Annihilation Bomb.

So that's 3 seconds plus flight time of the Frag Bomb. It's probably safe to assume each Shrapnel charge will do about 300 damage, plus the Frag Bomb will do around 550 damage. So somewhere around 2-2.5k damage in 3 seconds (really hard to account for Valor and Crit chances from player to player so all of this is a best guess). At 4 seconds you can throw the Annihilation bomb, so at 4 seconds plus the flight time of the bomb you can probably be sitting at 2.5-3k damage. Carpet Bombing doesn't reset the GCD, so it can be assumed it uses no time to use, so at 5 seconds plus flight time ups it to 3-3.5k damage. Even if the damage is assumed to around 4k, unless the OP Chronicles gear he's not getting owned by a Sab in 5 seconds.


There is no way unless you're going into PvP with very little health and a Mage, that a Sab is killing you in 5 seconds solo.

[Valfador]

Solution?
Kill him before he kills you

[Violacea]

OP is right, if you aren't top rank in 1400 valor I will steamroll you even faster than 5s on my sab. Anyone, any calling. I'm a sab.

I am seeing bleed tick that i cant clense off people and they are crit ticking on me for 400, so they have to be hitting normal people for at least 600 PER TIC, just for you to compare, my aoe hot heals for 99 per tic now.
