Quote:Um, since it actually happened to me, it's not a lie. You probably aren't as geared as some of the rogues who have full AQ loot and the best weapons available. One of my guild's rogues got a 2500+ non-crit ambush the other day. Yes, it was a lucky hit, but the fact is that it was real. As far as the ranged stuff, they can't follow it up with a series of stuns and backstabs that can finish a person off before they get a chance to fight back.
Do not accuse people of lying with no basis yourself. I don't know what's wrong with your dps calculator -- perhaps you're not including trinkets and other non-armor gear.
Technically, 2500 non-crit ambush is impossible without an astounding array of buffs, including zerker buff from BGs. However.
What probably REALLY happened is more of a combat log issue. It has been a long standing bug, that if even a tiniest part of a crit is absorbed (by various spells, e.g. PW:S, which fits you, given that you are a priest), the crit is reported in combat log as a hit, so you get something that looks like this:
Rogue hits you for 1500 (1000 absorbed).
Most likely this is exactly what happened. The crit is still a crit - if a warrior with deep wounds spec crits you, and that crit is absorbed, the deep wounds will still activate. However, in combat it's still listed as a hit, and it might be an easy mistake to make.
Now, if you will insist that this hit happened without any absorb shields, I will be the first agree with Quark and call you flat out a liar.
