Do light and heavy attacks have a theoretical maximum amount?

I've heard of some DPS tests with people doing 15-20k light attacks? How is that even possible? Most I've done is around 8 or 9k for a light attack on a *DPS* build.
i.e. not a build that would exclusivley buff light attack

    The only light attacks that hit so hard are sorcerer overload ones. Heavy attacks can hit for much more though especially lightning since they are 3 ticks. There are special items and sets that buff those: Maelstrom destro with elemental blockade and 5p sets like Queen's Elegance and Infallible mage.

    Crusher + Alkosh + Horn + all the other debuffs + all your sets + enchants procc`d + vMA enchant usually gets you around 14-17K Light Attacks in a raid environment.
