Can someone tell me how to do a 25k Take Flight damage on a PVP player?

Take Flight is the hardest hitting ultimate in the game, excluding Gravity Crush, Animate Blastbones, and Colossus. The coefficients are even greater than Assassin's Will. So while this damage seems high, it's not entirely unexpected.

You were also probably guard punctured for +30% damage taken. Hard to say from the screenshot. Even without guard puncture, 25k Take Flight is possible because I've landed 20k Dawnbreakers in battlegrounds and DB coefficients are 35% less damage than Take Flight.

I think he was able to corrosive armor since it's 12 sec with balorgh and then get his ulti up to do a second ulti.....I will try to catch this on camera to confirm.

That is it. Pretty easy to build enough ult generation to Take Flight within the 12s duration of corrosive. So 100% pen, if it crits I hit 27K on players. I'm also effectively unkillable during all that.

Note, the instant there was enough ult generation in the game for Sorcerers to have two atronarchs up, ZOS immediately nerfed them. They have done nothing about this.

Agreed. Disable ult gen in corrosive please

I was playing NB vamp, getting ready for the 64% crit build once they change the cloak to have always on crit, but then I was hit by this. Now I want to be DK but I don't know what type of build this is. Can you guys help me? I know it's a broken build but if you can't beat them BE THEM!!



This was the same guy for all hits. I know about corrosive armor and usually that's how they get me but I am not seeing that in the recap. I've never been hit with a 25k take flight ever in ESO.... up until now. Even if he was able to somehow hit corrosive and get back his ulti.What I do know is that ESO+ allowed a lot of people to gain more people to get dungeon and trial sets as there were a flow of people who were allowed to increase drop rates of items in dungeons usually few people have.

So I am guessing this person completed his perfect broken build. Unless this is a known one. Anybody can tell me what it is? I will be honest I don't keep up with the new sets. So I might be lacking info on that part.

The answer is that the DK is using corrosive armor, their pocket healer is using the mythic which transfers their ultimate to the DK, and that is enough to have a leap ready. So he leaps you during corrosive. That is all

Hah, and next update DK gets permanent Major/Minor Heroism with the Endless Archive class set.

Death recap numbers are frequently inaccurate, especially on the high end.

To see the true damage always use combat metrics

If an enemy has 5k health, and I hit them with a 20k blastbones, it's only going to show up in Combat Metrics as 5k

I understood death recaps can over damage, and any “over-kill” amount didn’t take resistances into account?

This is now getting nerfed, as it should be, so more discussion is sort of moot.

However, as with all cheese builds, I had to investigate this myself. To my disappointment, my DK with 7000 weapon damage (and infinite penetration in Corrosive) only got a 14k crit max on his leap.

So there must be a little more to this build to get 22-25k leaps. Maybe his group gives him major courage or major force or some other recipe. Maybe he was on a khajit or had some other way to get high crit damage in addition to high weapon damage.

In general my DK does not have the high crit damage, but it is a mag DK on a dark elf.

Crit damage + being buffed by the ulti battery + enemy being debuffed by the ulti battery with something like vuln or brittle.

@CameraBeardThePirate I assume it's a warden battery (best class to build as an ulti battery due to shimmering shield) using corrupted pollen to debuff them with major defile
