What's the highest Weapon or Spell Damage you've seen or had?

KingDuncanVII · April 2016

Curious.

Samphaa · April 2016

There's a YouTube video with a dude who has 6.2k weapon damage. Other stats were poor tho.

Also been sent a screenshot on ps4 of a dude with 8k odd spell damage and a crystal frag tooltip of 28k. Obviously glitched...

Highest I've seen on my sorc is 4857, that's with the torugs pact 2 piece stat sheet bug.

Shader_Shibes · April 2016

I had about 8k weapon AND spell damage at the same time...

was a ui bug though.

DRXHarbinger · April 2016

Genuinely 5200 weapon damage. SPC and fully buffed and procd Kena and briarheart. Spell damage 4900 with Kena and swords and spc.

Kammakazi · April 2016

i feel like this is a bit inflated

u tryna compensate for something

LiquidSchwartz · April 2016

with molag kena and alchemist i can imagine people can probably get 6k ish easily

NativeJoe · April 2016

Eh, Weapon damage and spell power are great and all...but shadow stone is where the dps is once your done with the number pissing contests lol. But yeah I have with apprentice stone a little over 4700 spell power, with spell power cure thats nearly 5k and Could "technically" be over 5k if I used a master staff and gave up nirnhoned. but again, that would not be more dps.

If you have over 38.3% crit chance you need to use Shadow stone. that is just how the math works out. and the only master weps worth using are those with either sharpend or precise dps wise (unless ur niche of course)

so yeah. spell power is not everything. weapon power isn't everything. Crit severity has a HUGE effect on your dps.

Surprised the threshold is that low. Thanks for the info

Junipus · April 2016

With all the PvP buffs, can get my alchemist to hit 5k spell power.
With igneous weapons, can get 5.5k
With SPC and other sets in a group, could probably get a lot more.

Weapon power I can probably get to about the same, if not a little bit higher.

I find the crit chance sweet spot around high 60s-low 70s. You may be able to give something else useful a bit of a boost and not lose much of anything I return. Just a thought

Perhaps. I want at least 75% chance of critting.

Moonshadow66 · April 2016

i think the highest I've ever seen was in beta when I tried to sneak up the broken main bridge to the Imperial City. I forgot the numbers and can't find a screenshot so quickly, but it's extremely high lol A Titan was involved, but I think that high damage didn't come from him.

Ghost-Shot · April 2016

Highest spell damage I've had was 4.2k on a sorc and highest weapon damage was ~5.5k on a templar (its been awhile since I ran that build so I don't remember exactly) both with full group buffs.

If only you could crit through my shields lol

Paulington · April 2016

The highest I've hit legitimately is 5.1k or so and that's with every possible buff you can get as a magicka sorcerer.

Without buff though I run ~2.8k on my DW bar.

Not sure where you got this number from. I am not saying it is wrong, but I am skeptical. I would like to see math to support.

N0TPLAYER2 · April 2016

I have 4603 weapon damage on my night blade

I have 3600+ spell damage on my sorc. This is with destro/resto and not using molag or swords. Will be much nicer when doing so.

I am using weapon damage and spell damage stones currently. I have a 77+% on weapon damage and 68+% on spell damage for critting. Should I really use the shadow?

If I do use the shadow, it will show my overall weapon and spell damage dropping, but I'll have harder hitting crits, right? I seem to crit constantly on my char. Any advice would be great here.

Del

Autolycus · April 2016

5300 WD with only self buffs (kena + crit surge). Lots of buffs missing here that could make it higher, but this is simple.

Eshelmen · April 2016

I've had 4,500 with Cydoriil buffs(Not with Kena).
I've seen guildies hit 5k+

None of that sticks forever though.

@Asayre is the king of math in this game, and here tamrielfoundry.com/topic/pts-2-1-2-sorcerer-arithmagic/ he outlines the optimal set-up for max dps. He has a 10% rule in place to determine if you would best benefit from the Thief or Shadow. Regardless which one you choose, both will equate to more DPS in PvE vs Warrior/Apprentice. PvP is a bit of a different beast as raw dmg is often desired since crits can be minimized thru shields, gear traits, and CPs. Hope this helps

NateAssassin · April 2016

Over 5k on my sorc w/ Kena proc

s7732425ub17_ESO · April 2016

For max spell damage, you will be looking at 5 Clever Alchemist + 5 Moondancer + 2 Kena, with Spell Power Cure buff on you, and with Powerful Assault buff on you. Gosh that would be insanely high.

Nussi28 · April 2016

I guess this is from the same guy, Samphaa is referring to in post #2. Someone on PS4 send me this screenshot asking if I want to buy his build.

DW: 1602
Clever Alchemist: 661
Moondancer: 448
Molag Kena: 129+516
3x spell dmg enchant: 174 x 3 = 522
Apprentice + 7x divines: 166 x (7 x 0,075) = 253

SPC: 258
PA: 164

Total unbuffed: 4553
Buffed major sorcery: 4553 x 1,20 = 5464
Buffed major+minor sorcery: 4553 x 1,25 = 5691
Sorc with 5x sorc skills, major and minor sorcery: 4300 x 1,35 = 6147

reften · April 2016

I have 4200+ with rally and while in sneak/DW. This is using the maximum possible buffs/yellow sets (hundlings, kena, marksmen 3 piece, agility jewelry etc) available except for alchemist set.

I think Templars can get higher for some reason, but I really only know NBs.
