Highest burst damage

WL with coord strike and pet which hit like crazy.

The whiny stealth thread has 74 posts right now, and this juicy thread has stalled out at eleven? Unacceptable!

Personally I only play tank and healer, because you're all ingrates; so I do not know.

Let's cheat and say old WS stacking Asw with brutal assault, and whatever else.

Purely by 'feel' it must be Magus or SH.

Had a Magus burst down my relatively tanky Engi, 2 heal pots and an absorb pot in like 7 seconds the other day. God i hope engi dps is made on par with the next patch.

What is "old WS stacking Asw" ? Has the last change to WS affected damage output (I know that it affected parry) ?

Likely referring to the times when wrist Slash stacked with tri 4pc bonus giving asw's 1k+ ws

So, 3 categories as per the OP:

1. For 3 sec category I'd give my vote to a 2h BO attacking a cloth wearer (BO with all build up abilities used, inclusive of armor debuff), easily ~8k or slightly more within that 3 sec window (if everything crits ofc), the GCD-triggering abilities would be: a)Chop fasta; b)Shut yer face (with tactic); c)Stance-swap+KD; d)Out-of-gcd 2 white AA hits.

2h Black Ork - really?
I need to look at it.
