How hard can a MA crit?

ClockworkD · Post by **ClockworkD** » Tue Dec 12, 2006 11:49 pm

So, was trying to figure out how hard a MA could crit yesterday in org chat, and decided to try to figure out a theoretical maximum hit.

Now, I'm interested in maximum possible damage on a single crit on a target with no AC, not a reasonable setup for every day use, or even normal +DD use.

Anyway, let's see. I'm going to worry first about +dmg. Figuring out max MA skill and AR is much harder, and maybe I won't do that.

The MA wants to use energy fists, so that he can wear blue gloves. Also, the MA is teamed with a trader, a keeper, a soldier, and adventurer, with an engineer and crat in AoE range. I thought that the MA wanted to be trox for MR, but upon further research, I think that the MA actually wants to be a clan opifex for SB.

Armor setup + arul sabas.

That's +343 +164 = +507 dmg from armor.

Partial perk setup for another +290 dmg

Implants/symbs:
Ethereal Implant of Berserker Rage in l.arm: +90
Sinew of Tarasque in r.arm: +40
Ql 300 +energy clusters in both wrists: +9 +13
Can't implant the shiny into r.hand, because it conflicts with MA cluster, and no symb MA can wear has +energy there.

+152 dmg there

Self Nanos:

Fists of the Lightning Crane: +23
Autumn Leaves: +305
Horde: +12

+340 total

QL 300 Sentient Corrosive Turret for +75
QL 250 Uncloak Pulse Turret for +75

Hit MoTR: +120

That's a total of +1559 so far.

Another +800 from clan opifex SB.

Okay, now the teammates get to help out:

Sacrifice: +1300
Suppressive horde: +220
Vengeance of the Immaculate: +130
Gazump fight: +107
Calia's Form: Sabretooth: +56
Leader of the Pack: +19
Sympathetic Entropy Infusion: +25

+1857 from that, +4216 total so far

Wait! I'm wrong! Maybe the MA doesn't want energy dmg...
Why the switch? +220 from Adv's beckoning!

Cold dmg beats it out... loses +120 from RBP and blue gloves, gains +10 back from CC gloves and +20 from aura magnifier. Lose another +22 from the lack of +cold clusters. Hmm, only one +75 dmg tower available though, so that's another -75. Also, no cold fists nano, so -23.

220-120+10+20-22-75-23=+10.

So, almost no difference, but maybe it is +10 more?

Oh yeah, another thing I forgot...

The MA in question just did Ice Golem and Hollow Island:

+9 from IG
total of +11 from HI brood champion nanos.

You're forgetting the trader AC debuff here (unless I missed it somewhere in there) and the Dragonfire perk which makes fire the natural choice of dmg at all times.

Well, I'm assuming that the mob has 0 AC.

Can a mob get negative AC, and if so, does that allow for more damage than if it had 0 AC?

AC drains really do jack squat. In SL at least... and I never remember if they had any major effect on aliens/rk. Usually if I drained AC's it was because then I buffed peoples' ACs when I played Opi

Using Dragonfire ALWAYS makes me hit for 200 dmg or more on any mob I've encountered so far.

That's correct... the other one should be Might of the Revenant, probably clicked wrong one.
