whats your best strike

[gs4omeba]

whats the biggest hit ya ever got hunting.

You swing a vultite twohanded sword at a dybbuk!
AS: +374 vs DS: +93 with AvD: +38 + d100 roll: +77 = +396
... and hit for 223 points of damage!
A mighty blow cleaves a swath through the dybbuk's back, taking the spine with it.
You hear a sound like a weeping child as a white glow separates itself from the dybbuk's body as it rises, disappearing into the heavens.
The dybbuk wails in terrifying pain one last time and lies still

[Xaerve]

That Dybbuk was wondering why you were using a twohanded sword, I bet.

[Khariz]

This was was goofing around a long time ago when I was like 60ish. I've gotten some way better hits with mauls imagine that same hit with my 578 AS with a maul). I'll try to find some:

>at
You swing a heavily enruned elven claidhmore at a sea nymph!
AS: +350 vs DS: +10 with AvD: +31 + d100 roll: +99 = +470
... and hit for 301 points of damage!

Roundtime: 5 sec.

[gs4omeba]

thats on a tiny critter. lets se it on one your own level. :)

[TheLastShamurai]

You swing a superior vultite maul at a triton dissembler!
AS: +630 vs DS: +250 with AvD: +35 + d100 roll: +5 = +420
... and hit for 194 points of damage!
Right leg ripped from socket at the knee!
The triton dissembler collapses, gurgling once with a wrathful look on his face before expiring.


thats the best i can do now. used to be able to get it a lot higher. le sigh.

[Khariz]

thats on a tiny critter. lets se it on one your own level. :)

Level isn't part of the AS/DS equation. Take a critter with the same armor class of any level, achieve the same endroll, and you'll get the same results (assuming neither of the critters has any special damage reduction properties, etc).

I can tackle, force to offensive, and warcry carn-bind a dissembler for you before I smash it in the chest with a 600+ AS and accomplish the same thing. No point really.

If wanted to put forth the effort to go out and TRY to come up with the best hit, do you think I would have searched up a log from 40 levels and 3 years ago? No.

Sorry...It just pisses me off when people make silly little snarky comments about other people's posts, acting like they mean nothing. All you really did (to me) was show that you don't understand armor classes and endrolls.

Oh, and no Miko, that's not the best you can do.

Don't you have a spell that partially/fully binds those things? Use that spell, leg it, smash it in the chest, and roll a 90+. You'll hit it for 100 more damage than you did there.

[Khariz]

Khairz mad!! Khariz crush!!

Damn right!

what the hell you talking about. if i swing at a critter thats only level 2 vrs a level 46. you saying its the same AS vrs DS. you do not get the same end roll. you will always hit and kill the nymph. you try that on a critter your own age and i bet you dont hit and kill in one shot every time.

Honestly, that's the funniest shit I've read in a long time. I'm glad you proved my point.

LOL, you are the gift that keeps on giving, you know that? I DID what you asked in your original post, then YOU make the snarky response at ME, showing that you have NO CLUE how combat works in this game. Then, when you responded to me again...you did it again. You probably don't even know how hilarious your posts are. I'm glad Bob was in this thread to witness this, :rofl:

Snarky is such a mean word.


Reported.

[Parkbandit]

I once made a 7-10 split.. what a night.

Wait, that's a spare... what?

[CrystalTears]

I'll go ahead and be the n00b of not understanding why the end result is the same despite the level. Doesn't the DS tends to increase through creature levels? The DS on a kobold won't be the same as a waern.

I'm seriously not poking fun at anyone here, just trying to understand what's wrong in asking what the best is against stuff your own level rather than taking down something more than 40+ levels less than you. Granted he never specified, but still, kinda curious.

Don't hurt me!

[thefarmer]

You can disable a critter enough with patience and effort to an absurdly low DS.

It's easier to just find something low level and not bother spending the extra energy.

[NocturnalRob]

say you have a lvl 1 critter wearing full plate (obvious hypothetical) and a lvl 80 critter wearing full plate. AS and DS aside (these don't matter), if the endroll result (what determines damage) is the same for both creatures, the damage dealt will be the same.

Level has nothing to do with it.

OP is retarded.

[CrystalTears]

Yeah I guess I really have no clue how it works as I figured AS and DS mattered.

I just swing/cast shit and hope it hits. :D

[Fallen]

I guess what he meant was your "Best Strike" would take into account the inherent difficulty of the MOB in question.

I could walk up to a five year old, hitting him as hard as I could and knocking him out cold. It wouldn't nearly be as impressive as walking up to Vin Diesel, even if the same force would produce the same results. The difference being is the effort involved in tracking down Vinny, working past his security detail, and laying one on him.

Just Saying.

[thefarmer]

I bet you'd sneak up on him and make your animate hit him.

Pansy sork!

[Fallen]

Well, it WOULD be funnier to have the animated corpse of his father deliver the blow, I will admit.

...I like the way you think.

Yup. With CMANS, call wind, sleep, ewave, etc I could drop like lvl mobs into kitten mode so bad that even Medi could hit them.
