So, I'm in Crimson Badlands, just heading to a quest and a Spellslinger jumps in front of me and this happens.
 
 
 
Now, the whole thing took about a second, there was one telegraph, then i was dead, i didn't even have time to press a key. Then i look at the combat log and I've been hit 5 times in that one second, is that even possible?
 
If it is, fair play to that build but that's amazing damage. 	
----
			I'd /ticket that.  If what you say is true (i'm assuming it is), something fishy.

Is that the entire attack?  I don't see enough damage to kill a 50 (most of that was shielded anyway?)
 
Did you die of shock?  Was it a Chua?  You laughed too hard and had a heart-attack?	
----
			The combat log says he died before the 3rd assassinate. As a SS, I can imagine it seeming like a second if I was able to pre charge a CS and then rapidly tap assassinate and hit him 2 times. Nothing fishy IMO.	
----
			Many abilities have a GCD below 1 second for their GCD, so yeah, in about a second to a little over a second you could get hit with a Charged Shot and 3 Assassinates, Impact seems to be a proc, not sure what it is but it's not a casted ability afaik. Especially with the changes to PvP gear this latest patch, IIRC if you were running PvE gear and he had full PvP gear on... You can be toasted instantly.   Happened to me in Blighthaven the other day, was questing in full PvE tanking gear, got shit-smeared by a Warrior in full PvP DPS gear.

I was thinking the same, i just wasn't sure, never  played an SS but it was instant, i really was a one shot. I looked at the combat log thinking it was a massive crit and it's 5 hits. I might be slow but now that slow.
----
			Apparently it is possible. You're welcome.	
----
			The damage that was done, that wasn't absorbed by your shield, was just over 8k. You must have been pretty hurt before this happened since base 50s have around 24k life or so. That's probably why he opened on you and did a standard 1/3rd of your life	
----
			
Most of you are missing the point, i was at about 70% life, but it's assassinate 3 times in the space of about 1 second I'm questioning. Not the damage, just the speed.
 
 
Edit--
 
If it's possible then it's all good, never seen it before.	
----
			I, as a stalker, can cast impale 3 times within about a second and a half, SS and Stalker have the highest burst so I would assume assassinate could be cast close to as quick

Does the combat log record it like that or does it show the damage done to health, and in parenthesis the damage done to shields, in which case OP took 16985 or 26689 damage to HP, depending on how Overkill is factored in the combat log, I'm not sure.

I don't play a Spellslinger so I don't know, but is it an ability that has certain number of times using it before cooldown?
----
			Yeah, this is definitely possible. Assassinate's GCD is really fast.

			That's nothing....I have seen and been on the receiving end of SS crits...with full pvp runed pvp gear. We are talking 19ks...if under MoO, it can reach closer to 29k. Nothing quite so jaw dropping as seeing a player getting insta gibbed by a single slinger in the span of an eye blink. But no, they keep saying that is impossible and make up all sorts of excuses when most people, even the geared slingers doing these sorts of numbers know the truth of the matter. Well on the plus side, OP, stalkers can produce similar burst...not as much a slinger but close. Welcome to WS PvP drop 2 style!

well if you look at it, he took 8980 to his shield and the rest went through to his health. aka 8005.
----
			I can absolutely pop off 3 assassinates that quickly.	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
I'm not quite following, unless amped/runed, shields take exactly 50% of the damage, so with his combat log, it looks to me that the first two hits show equal damage to shield and to HP, with the third only taking 1243 to shield ( I assume it went down at that point.

			It is what it is, fair play to the guy, just had no idea about assassinate so figured I'd ask.

			Hrm, doing it that quickly must  be something new?  Granted with Trigger Fingers and stuff, CDs speed up a tiny tick, but my main is a lvl50 Spellslinger (w/o TF), and going by the technical "second" (as in counting, "one-one-thousand", followed by "two-one-thousand")... pretty certain I recall there being at least a 1/2 second to second pause between each blast... it's usually "pop" (short pause) "pop" (short pause) "pop".  Whole thing should have taken closer to 2 to 3-ish seconds at least I'd think. :huh:

			haha thats a bot its super easy to bot in this game

TF doesn't affect Assassinate charges.
 
Basically, Assassinate is a HUGE burst and you can definitely cast three of them that quickly.
 
BTW, in PVE warrior tanks love it when you open like this.

			Welcome to Wildstar PvP! A finely tuned and balanced experience, even moreso with the recent PvP patch. Enjoy your stay.

Quick, nerf SS again like last time!
 
Of course it will screw them in PvE and not in PvP, like it did last time.
 
Keep in mind that once the CS and 3xASN were fired that Surge and ASN were on cooldown and he has no punch left. Unless of course you can't punch through their weak 3k armor fast enough and the rotation comes up again.
 
I guess that's the chance you take cruising flagged and ungrouped.

If that seems very very angry, I'd like to know what schoolboy church choir you belong to.....
 
There are a number of things that could have been done to stop the SS from killing the OP.
 
SS do have a huge amount of burst, as I said, but once past that they are tissue paper. Even if the SS had CS precharged and Surged, there's no way the OP didn't see them standing there.
 
If you don't want to die in the open world, don't flag or don't run around solo and apparently unaware of what/who is around you.

Not sure what game you've been playing buddy but in Wildstar it's really difficult to attack when you're dead.
 
Your bitterness is not my doing, you seem very very angry.

{| class="blockquote"
Didn't you see PvE warriors got a nice buff to threat? (I immediately stealth after I open with 3 impales as a stalker no matter the tank)
