Something is causing 2 handed weapons to give insane damage boost. I don't know what the cause is, but I have gotten the bug and so have others. It causes you to do insane damage. It may have something to do with momentum, rally, executioner damage bonus, flawless dawnbreaker damage bonus, 2h sword damage bonus, or something else. I have seen a nightblade with the bug hit ambushes for 15k, surprise attack for 20k, and more against heavy armor.

    I totally agree on this. It's mainly with dk's molten arnaments or whatever it's called. This NEEDS a change before 1.6 hits live. Like really, it NEEDS to be changed.

    I can't comment on the screened heavy attack, as I have not personally seen that.
    However the 15-20k ambushes and surprise attacks are quite normal in 1.6. The non crit version of these skills produce 6-8k damage. The stealth openers on both of these are 12-20k depending on your targets crit resistance.

    I was producing these numbers consistently with 3k weapon damage and 51% crit.

    Obviously the range varies wildly due to the type of armor your target is wearing and their crit reduction.

    So I can say with utmost confidence that a 15k ambush and a 20k surprise attack are not a bug, rather a consequence of the removal of softcaps and the lowering of physical resistance to light armor coupled with a massive amount of penetration through multiple sources.

    Intended or not, I can't say. But not a bug.
