How do people get 4.7k weapon damage?

I got 5 v16 gold Hunding armor (3stam/2 health gold glyphs), 2 Night Mother gold v16 armor (2 stam gold glyphs), 1 2h Gold v16 Night Mother maul (weapon dam gold glyph), 2 robust agility rings, 1 mana agility necklace, 1 mundus armor piece, warrior boon, purple 15 food, flawless dawnbreaker, no undaunted passives, and health glyphs on chest and legs. The result seems weak: 3462 unbuffed weapon damage. With forward momentum and merciless resolve my nb vamp, with all attributes in stam, get 4039 weap dam. This is in IC if that matters.

So my question is: how do some players get 4.7k weapon damage, given the fact that my gear, except necklace, is the best weap dam items one can get as far as I know? Is it my lack of undaunted passives, no stam glyphs in chest/legs and a mana agility necklace?

And can or should one go for 4.7k weapon damage without becoming a glass canon in vWGT? I am primarily pvp, a colonel, but like some hardmode pve too, so need to survive with my vamp who got rather low health outside Cyr.

    well you could get molag kena's pauldrons, that would give you another 186 more (or something close to that, I don't remember exactly).

    A lot of peole take into account procs when they calculate weapon damage. Procs from Ravager/weapon enchants/Molag Keena and so on.

    What's your regen with that set up if you don't mind me asking?

    EDIT: How many of your pieces have devines?

    You are right there. People are reaching that weapon damage level with 2 pc molag kena proc. You get the initial weapon. Damage off the one piece and 500 or so off the proc

    I get upwards of 3.4K. And when you factor in abilities which add 20% more damage (hidden blade, Rally) you can significantly up your damage, especially if you're offsetting regen with drinks (e.g. 3X weapon damage enchants on VR16 jewelry).

    Totally, I'm around 3,700/3,800 but with 5 heavy. My regen still around 1,000/1,200. I can't bring myself to have lower regen since i pvp solo on a stam DK 98% of the time.

    I got gold weap dam on my jewelry. Stam regen is only 1001 with my vamp unslotted. 1 divines armor piece.

    Stamina Sorc's and Sorcs for that matter not get a passive boost to weapon and spell damage for every sorc ability slotted. So you can stack a few spec abilities to get 4 to 6%.

    Weapon damage glyphs on all jewelry. Weapon damage glyphs on your weapon. One piece of Molag Kena.

    A skirmisher, way of the air dodge roll or a ravager proc.

    Do people also count sneak attacks? In sneak I get 3750-4327.

    But still don't get how one reaches 4.7k weap dam, and if it will turn you into a glass canon or not.

    Do I survive in PVP zone? Yes, I do. because I'm an expert assassin. crocodile-smiley.gif?1292867577 ..just joking.....giggle2-smiley.gif?1292867603
    Do I survive in Vet.dungeon? No, because my Hp below 20K. sad-smiley.gif?1292867665

    ermm.. my build is mainly for pvp...but i still can solo any public dungeon or any world bosses.
    The question is, do you want sustain or burst dmg? becoz many players don't like low hp, low stam or low magicka....
    the playstyle is totally different like others build, becoz is squishy and need good map awareness, or u will keep die and die.

    so yeahhh...it is possible to get 4.7K w.dmg with some buffs. good luck.

    note: in pvp zone, thanks to battle spirit 50% dmg reduction, sometime I'm very very difficult to kill 1 good tank, and even give up to kill that tank.. btw, im OB player not newbie :D

    The highest possible weapon dmg goes to sorcs, then to templars I believe. In my buff campaign on my dw bar I sit at 4.8 with just crit surge up on my stam sorc. But I know that the highest damage achievable is well over 6k, but it is unreasonable. That would be infused weapon with rage enchant, 2pc moleg kena, 5 ravager, 5 hundings (counting weapons), max divines and warrior stone with 5 sorc skills slotted and flawless. Again, that's at the point of just being silly. You could actually add on procs from teammates wearing the assault set and the spell power cure for an extra 300 or so.
