Twilight Forums

In spirit of the Ouch... thread, I've decided to make a "POW!" thread, so basically, record your damage and record who it's against. You can put the equipment and buffs if you want.

I'll start us off...

4.7k against one of the new monsters (can't remember which zone, sadly) with the Torch of Nug using Maul of the Cave Bear. Woo!

15k+ against a pickpocket.

Cris had 19k or so against a cannonball enemy. I've not yet tried for insane damage with my furnace of yeb and 15 total ranged attacks with a crit >.>

Just now against a Thug (not that this is even remotely fair...)

You attack ... You hit the foe! You hit 13 times for 17389 +60 +5 damage.


In a slightly more fair fight against an Effigy of Hate:

You attack ... You have a critical hit! You hit 12 times for 4478 +60 +5 +10 damage.

Combat!
You attack ... You have a critical hit! You hit 7 times for 808 damage.

Your trident fires an ion beam, dealing an additional 61 damage.

Challenge....

*rises to feet*

....Accepted!

5462 with the Torch of Nug against a thug.


I'll try buffing up reflexes and doing the Furnace later.

This really isn't fair...

You attack ... You have a critical hit! You hit 12 times for 37186 +50 +5 damage.

Poor thugs.

Big Thug - without anything special other than the weapon (no stat boosts)
You attack ... You hit the foe! You hit 13 times for 16111 +50 +10 damage.

Wow. This is seriously wrong. As I said, with the torch and full buffs and equip, and my stats skewed towards strength, I crit a thug for 5462. Right? I just got a furnace of yeb now, and with no buffs I crit for 30k. Wtf?

There comes a point where the bonus hits from ranged weapons outstrip the strength bonuses from melee.

Archon in the tower...
You attack ... You have a critical hit! You hit 12 times for 31136 +50 +10 damage.

Poor Troutmaster. Bedivere's + Bouncy Battery Ball + Stun Gas + his weakness to electricity:

You attack ... you bounce your bouncy ball redundantly off the Troutmaster 14 times for 72 + 787 damage.

The Mick didn't fare much better:

You attack ... you ricochet your bouncy ball off anything and everything 25 times for 1598 + 812 damage.

Rawr!

Too bad I didn't record the POWs with the bugged arcane scholars, there was over a million.

Maul with torch, trashing a plowman just a little bit more (nuts!):
> With all the power of a titanic, prehistoric bear, you maul your opponent ferociously. You attack ... charging in hat first, you confuse your foe beyond words ... you spin dramatically, taking your > opponent's feet out from under them and follow up with a crushing downward blow. Between the two moves, you critically hit them for 59281 + 116 damage.
>
> You gain some of your opponent's life force. You gain 2 hit points.

They are so baked ... (furnace, meet tough biker)
> You attack ... leading off with the Nutcracker's signature headbutt, you daze your foe ... you aren't quite sure what you did, but it was good. You must have found some crazy setting, because you didn't just hit, you didn't even blast. Buddy, you annihilated your opponent. And not just once, but 12 times for a jaw dropping 42686 + 58 damage.

Here's a cheap one:
> You pull your enemy through the charm, turning them inside out. It's pretty gruesome, though, so you pull them back through. The whole process deals 55063 damage.

Normal spellcasting is just doesn't's compares:
> Critical Imagination! You send out a pulse of mental anguish, dealing 5928 damage to anything in the area.
