Maximum Damage Question

[Frowny]

What do you think is the maximum possible damage to deal in any single impact (attack, lightening bolt, meteor impact, kick, bonespear, javalin, You name it) with any character?

I was thinking maybe a fully syngergized meteor with godly gear?
Or maybe a leap attack barb with BOTD Thundermaul and other such gear?
Or an assasin with 3 tiger strike charges who switches to a eth, superiour BOTD thundermaul? (Dont quite know if this is possible)

Assume they always hit teh maximum dmg of their range iea 1-6 dmg attack would always come out as 6, the only restraint is that it must actually be possible to make the character.

:scratch: :idea: :scratch:

zons charged strike releases 8 charged bolts at 3187 a piece = 25496 lightning+ 1304physical = 26800 dmg
thats assuming all the bolts hit the target - and my zon is no where near godly so this could be much higher

At least 40K with a loaded Pally Charger and uber Rare TMaul.

I think MA Assassin release blow of all possible charges with BOTD eth t-maul is a winner. It does incredible damage IN ONE HIT, more then 50k, I cannot say more exactly. And she looks like a funny new year tree with all charges on. ;-)

I have a poison javazon with just over 120k pison dam over 16 seconds.

Charger pallys can do upwards of 60k with perfect gear...
Are we including: skill shrines, outside auras, mercs, Golems with auras (runewords) etc etc, or just what a character standing alone can do.

solo, i would say tiger strike assn w/ dtail. its easy to hit 5k dmg with demonhide boots. with perfect gear, 170 str, and myrmidon greaves, the dammage would be high to say the least. (perfect being 2x tucs, enigma, shako, 2 ma skill gloves, 10 ma charms, maras, bk rings, anni, level 42 tiger strike +42 dtail would be alot.) note it could get higher, easily, with +3 gloves, +3 helm and a +3 ammy, but i dont think that gear is realisticly playable.

if you wanted to get cheap too, you could use atmas ammy instead of maras for the amp (dunno if that gets considered) but it would double the physical dammage and thus double the fire dmg, i think)

I have a poison javazon with just over 120k pison dam over 16 seconds. It is unbelievable! Can you post screenshot? In a skillplaner I tried to test it. 20 Plague Javelin, 20 Poison Javelin with perfect +29 to javelin skills equipment (+10 skillers, +1 annihilus, +2 rings, +1 belt, +3 gloves, +2 armor, +3 weapon, +3 helm, +3 amulet, +1 shield) gives 100k poison damage over 100 seconds. Am I right?

gogo bramble? 50%? facets?

[igorpotapov]

O! I completely forget them!

With perfect 50% Bramble and 3 perfect facets (2 in magic +3 skills circlet, 1 in shield) javelin poison damage increases to around 150k, I think!

So we only need some screenshots to proclaim a winner of this thread. Probably, I could make a drop mod to test it in SP if I have more time.

My comp hates taking screenies and crash's everytime I try. I can give equip setup though-

Titan's Revenge (eth)
Harlequin Crest (socketed 5//5 Poison Facet)
Mara's Amu (perf)
Head Hunters Glory (socketed 3 5//5 Poison Facets)
SoJ
Raven Frost
Trang Gloves
Bramble
Rare Boots With High Res
10 x Java Skillers
Arach Mesh Belt
Anni

Both Poison Javelin and Plague Javelin are maxed (obvious). Interesting side note: I did not need bow skills other that 1 lvl in seeking arrow to finish PvP match's and non of the items had high reqs. Thus I have huge vit and my dodge skills are very high indeed.

[Frowny]

I would say no, that outside auras dont count, esspecially since almost every character would benefit from the same auras (might, fantacism ...) and so no candidate would gain anything on the others. I would say that auras on yourself should count though, including runewords.

5zigen, wouldnt maxed dragon flight do more total damage then dragon tail? I know it starts at 100% more dmg, wheras tail starts at 50%. I still think that a 3 charge tiger strike woudl do pretty rediculous damage. Can someone post a link to a skill calculator so I can try out some of these builds?

[Superhal]

poison shouldn't count either, unless you take a single frame's damage. poison works over X seconds, so why can't you recast/re-attack something for the same duration?

eg. 8 frames of pd should be equivalent to either 2 or 3 ww hits, or 2 shots from a 4fpa strafe.

as this is inherently stupidly complicated, lets just go with a single frame's damage.
