I remember when WLs would do this amount of damage in the time of a single knockdown with no Highpass scenario buff, and all the Order apologists would just say "lol next time learn 2 detaunt."
Next time learn to detaunt.
You forget that SH is ranged with a lot of escape abilitities and CC tools. He is standing behind a wall of tanks...
WL is a squishy melee that has to jump right into it and dies a lot.
Try again.
Challenge accepted. A SH isn't going to delete someone in 3 seconds like the WL in their heyday. Without scenario buff. This damage clearly was high because of the scenario. Outside of this very specific instance you won't see squigs delete people at range any more than a SW ranged. Could mSH lose a tool or two and still be quite viable? Yup. Could Order use another aoe melee option? Yup. Thats right folks, I'm not a destro apologist after all!
BW/sorc timestamps for way more than this and has better ranged aoe but less escape tools. I was just watching Zarbix regularly timestamp destro players for 5k+ on his rSW in full Vanq gear in oRvR this morning, and even posited the question of "why is SW weak?" after seeing him rack up multiple deathblows in his chat, too!
So again, learn to detaunt. RSH single damage is fine.
