Strange big damage amount of white color text.

Strange big damage amount of white color text.
If you're expert damage dealer, then I need your explanation about damage mechanism of ESO.

"11000" damage is big damage for my real DK tank. Mostly is 1000 from 4000 regardless critical or not.
But sometimes over 10000 damage show up as normal damage. I can't find out what kind of skill
made such amount of damage.
Basically my tank doesn't have damage buff CP or meta DD gear.

Oblivion damage enchant

Do you think those mech work for big damage?

combat metrics would help a ton determining what had a max dmg of that amount

oblivion dmg enchantments are capped at 4750 dmg for any enemies over 100k hp

the only possibility i could theorize is a heavy attack

i have some tank characters with oakensoul (which grants empower) that can get 38k dmg crits against off balance enemies using a heavy attack (the avg non crit is 8-12k dmg with just empower, no off balance)

Is this incoming damage or damage DDs are doing to a boss that you are tanking? Because its not unusual to see 5-digit white damage numbers. Routinely see them on my stam arc with the flail, anywhere from 10K+ to over 40K. White just means direct damage

they were running a tank build, so hitting an 11k dmg hit was "unexpected" for them, but its still possible with certain skills, or empower + heavy attack, or heavy attack + off balance bonus

Not dungeon matter, just World Boss on the field, and kill it by solo. So I didn't receive any of
other team member's gear buff.

I didn't equip off balance bonus CP. Maybe it's not reason of strange high damage.

Ahh, got it. @AvalonRanger maybe they were running a NB tank or as @Necrotech_Master said, empower and heavy attacks.

@El_Borracho the floating dmg numbers are only produced from your combat dmg, or enemies hitting you

if they were seeing an 11k dmg white text, that means they were using some kind of direct dmg attack that did that, and the easiest way for a tank to do that would be hitting off balance enemy with a HA, or empower + HA\

for a DK the only other skill that might hit that hard would be an buffed whip (3x stacks before use)

Interesting. Haven't tried to run a PVE tank as a DD since I realized that is self-inflicted hard mode

i kind of toy around with the idea of having a tank/dps character, before proc scaling changes my main DK tank could actually do like 15k dps

i also have a warden that was basically a tank in light armor that could do 20-25k dps (which i used for vet maelstrom and vet vateshran initially, until they changed the light armor passives which made it harder)

for the archive i currently have a necro tank, that can hit up to like 16-18k dps (with no visions or verses), built around status effects (serpents disdain, leeching plate, and oakensoul which is where i see some very high dmg numbers with the tank is the heavy attack)

I was just swinging Leeching set sword with oblivion damage enchanted against world boss.
Doesn't have damage support CP and gear, but approximately 1 per 60 sec rate strange normal
high damage pop up.

If I can solved this mystery, then I want to improve my DD combat rotation though...

thats why i suggested using combat metrics, it would clearly tell you what was causing that kind of dmg

i can definitely tell you its not an oblivion dmg enchant, a 1h oblivion dmg enchant is like 2750 dmg hard cap, and cannot crit

and your saying its only happening once a minute is not enough to go on unless its a skill your not using often, or some proc (thats not leeching plate) triggering

if you had a combat metrics summary, it would be extremely obvious what it was doing that kind of dmg lol

Oh, it's a addon Mod. I'll try it. Thanks.

How to use "combat metrics addon" in the game?
Unfortunately, the ESO say " out of date version".

Maybe I need to wait until latest version shoe up.

it still works i can assure that

after you finish fighting an enemy you type /cmx in the chat and that pulls up the report on the fight, this shows all the skills you did dmg with, their avg dmg, max dmg, how many instances each dmg hit and crit
