By request: how a sorcerer gets a silly physical AS

[Goat]

Edit: table tags are borken? Sorry for the bad formatting, but at least this is visible

LNet was curious.

668 AS (at least, for 45 minutes a day, and if I'm willing to be stuck in offensive with -30 DS)
Thing|Bonus from Thing
Pole training | 201
CM training | 51
Natural Strength bonus | 25
+50 perfect pike | 50
Symbol of courage | 26
425 | 50
Pole enhancives | 50
CM enhancives | 25
STR enhancives | 20
509 (with 100 earth lore ranks) | 22
606 | 10
211 | 15
215 (with 100 blessings lore ranks)| 30
1606 | 10
307 | 5
1109 | 15
1611 (with 100 blessings lore ranks) | 8
Boost Supercharge (3x/day, 15 minutes each x) | 25
1617 | 30

Every spell in the list is pretty sustainable: either native to sorcerers, or I have x/days of it. I have scroll backups of everything (and extra boost supercharges) in case the x/days run out. Even zealot is 3x/day good for a bit over 20 minutes each. I have all the DS scroll spells, too, so running zealot is usually pretty doable.

Then there's the intermittent / conditional stuff:
Thing|Bonus from Thing
T5 Ensorcell flare with a sorcerer bonus | 30
Extraplanar bane | 30
Symbol of Supremacy | 13

There's not much that's both undead and extraplanar, but those get me to a theoretical 741.
With 180 necro ranks, ensorcell AS flares last for 3 swings.

Add on 117 to get to 816.
Finally, add on the witchhunter talons. I have the green (weakest) ones, good for 40% of the target's magic DS. Something with a ton of magical DS can get me well over 900, but I've never gotten close to 1000.

[caelric]

Yeah, that looks about right for when I was still playing

[nindon]

Nice. It took a lot of work to get to that point. I'm sure you've already considered this, but if you pick up 20 ranks of blessing lore, you'll get one more point of AS from 215 plus a small chance of a second strike with 117 plus a very small chance of a bonus flare from 307.

[Goat]

Nindon - I actually picked up 40 ranks of blessing lore since OP, and updated the chart. +2 AS from and +1 AS from 1611. I'll probably add a little more over time.

[Zho]

Where's Star Curse on there? :P

[Goat]

Sadly, star curse only works for bolt AS.

[Goat]

The talons all got 15% boosts, so I gave this another try.

=============

You bring the tips of the talons on one hand together, and a chain of green lightning erupts from their apex!

Nasty shock to left arm stiffens joints. Nice and painful.
A dark shadowy tendril rises up from a pale scaled shaper, writhes its way up a silvery blue mithril pike towards you and lashes out malevolently...
The guiding force leaves you.

** A sickly green aura radiates from a silvery blue mithril pike and seeps into a pale scaled shaper's wounds! **

... 30 points of damage!
Bones shatter in the scaled shaper's shield arm.
A pale scaled shaper sinks to the ground, the fell light in his eyes guttering before going out entirely.

Roundtime: 5 sec.

Pretty good kill shot on a vathor tonight:

You thrust with a silvery blue mithril pike at a towering horned crimson vathor!
AS: +822 vs DS: +507 with AvD: +35 + d100 roll: +79 = +429
... and hit for 179 points of damage!
The horned crimson vathor crashes to the ground, the fire around it dying as it goes still.

Sorc nerf incoming.

Updated the chart for getting the last two enchants on my pike, and some more blessings lore. Also, new personal record:


Pearly light flares up suddenly from within you, lending strength and focus to your attack!
You thrust with a silvery blue mithril pike at a pale scaled shaper!
AS: +920 vs DS: +758 with AvD: +38 + d100 roll: +64 = +264

The red witchhunter talons (instead of my weak green ones) would have gotten me right around 1000. Alas.

[Goat]

I finally got there.
