    Highest possible Damage? Empty Highest possible Damage?

    Post by Chumgeyser Tue May 15, 2012 2:47 pm

    I'm trying to narrow down the formula for the highest possible damage in a single attack, in PvP. Here's what I have so far...

    - Demon Greataxe +15
    - Parry + Riposte
    - Hornet's Ring
    - Red Tearstone Ring
    - 99 Strength
    - 99 Intelligence
    - Tin Crystallization Catalyst
    - Crystal Magic Weapon
    - Pyromancy Flame
    - Power Within
    - Dragon Torso Stone

    Am I missing anything?

    I forgot about the bow glitch. It is a glitch correct? It isn't something intended by the game designers, so let me rephrase my question to...

    Highest single attack... that isn't a glitch big grin

    The darkmoon blade and 99 faith gives more damage.
    The highest damage for a single hit is a two handed Riposte by a Greatsword of Artoriase, with Dragon Buff, Power Within, RTS, Hornet and Trident on at the same time.
    8950 damage

    Dusk Crown, Bellowing Dragoncrest, and other such + attack power buffs do not effect buffs.

    Weird that a buffless Artorias can out damage a Demon Greataxe with a buff.

    It gets a 40% damage increase against the skeletons in the Catacombs and the Firelink Graveyard.

    Buffs give a flat damage increase, they dont get multiplied for the riposte, and prolly doesnt get effected by rts or pw.

    Buffs do get a boost from the Hornets Ring when you are in the Forest, and clubs and axes get a greater boost from Hornets ring than stabbing and slashing weapons. Every animation attack in a backstab or riposte gets a boost from a weapons buff.

    For instance...
    - Riposte using a Claymore you get a single bonus from Crystal Magic Weapon.
    - Riposte using a Claymore + Hornets in the Forest = 2 boosts from CMW
    - Riposte using a Mace = 2 boosts from CMW
    - Riposte using a Mace + Hornets in the Forest = 3 boosts from CMW

    I tested this out myself. It was particularly interesting to me that I could get more damage out of my Mace over my Claymore, when I managed a Riposte, even though I had a higher AR with the Claymore.

    Actually...
    With Maces, and other "multi-hit" risposts/backstabs, the buff damage is only applied to the first hit.
    So if your riposte usually does 40, then 600 damage, it does 440, then 600 damage.

    Crap, I wish I didn't throw out that scrap of paper I wrote everything down on, but that's not how I remember it. I'll test it out again.

    I went through each of the Forest NPCs several times with various weapons. CMW added a bonus to each hit in an animation, not just the first, last or middle hit.

    I'm almost positive there was no increase... You see, the second blow hit's before the first number clears, so if you do 40 then 600 damage, you did 40, then 560 damage, adding up to 600.

    With CMW on, my first blows damage number would boost to 240 or so, and then the next blow would have it indicate a 800, rather then 600. However, the damage was not increased whatsoever.

    I just ran another test. This one is less extensive than the first but had the same results I remembered...

    Ripost with a Claymore (103AR, +68 bonus) vs. Forest Mage NPC
    - Plain: 234 damage
    - Hornets: 20/346 damage
    - CMW: 415 damage
    - Hornets + CMW: 293/891 damage

    Riposte with a Battle Axe (95AR +61 bonus) vs. Forest Mage NPC

    - Plain: 11/216 damage
    - Hornets: 17/34/308 damage
    - CMW: 193/397 damage
    - Hornets + CMW: 290/580/580 damage

    I ran these tests several time on the mage and I checked against other Forest NPCs and NPCs outside of the Forest. Always the same results. Crystal Magic Weapon buffs each animation in a Riposte or Backstab.

    Hmmmm...
    Would you maybe mind testing a +15 for me and seeing if it changes anything? I'm still pretty positive I've seen different results... but I'm not really too likely to be surprised if I'm wrong.

    I have tested this out with a +14 Great Club and a +10 Zweihander. The problem testing out those with the Hornets Ring and CMW is that they are usually dead before the final animation. In which case the final damage number doesn't show up.

    I'm still mulling what you said about the damages adding up, so the second number you see really takes into account the last number. That changes things a bit, but I still think you are getting the buff applied to each animation.

    I'll try to test this out on some foes with more hit points.

    Just did another quick test. If the damage from the attacks is just adding up then the last number you see should be the total amount of damage, right?

    I used a +10 Claymore and a +10 Zweihander this time, and I only used the Hornets + CMW combo...

    Ripost with a +10 Claymore (206AR, +149 bonus) vs. Forest Mage NPC
    - Hornets + CMW: 375/1526 damage

    Ripost with a + 10 Zweihander (260AR, +178 bonus) vs. Forest Mage NPC
    - Hornets + CMW: 443/886/1193

    So, if the final number is the total damage the Riposte did... the Claymore is vastly out damaging the Zweihander. If the damage is all of the attacks added together then the Zweihander vastly out damages the Claymore, which makes more sense given that it has a higher AR and AR bonus.
