[QUOTE="Thanlis, post: 5454496, member: 6011"] Just for hypothetical funsies: an avenger picks up a +6 Vicious Fullblade. Fullblades are high crit weapons, so it'll do +3d12 on a crit at level 30. Since it's vicious, it also does +6d12 on a crit. Our avenger has a laser-like focus on damage, whatever the consequences, so he takes Final Oath, which is 9[W] damage. At this point, on a crit, he's doing 108 base damage plus 9d12, or an average of 166 damage. But he's ambitious, so he has a War Ring, which gives him an extra 1d12 damage on a crit, and he uses the War Ring's daily, so he gets another 24 points of damage (because we've passed a milestone). Now we're up to 197 or so damage, on average. But we can do better than that! He's one of the millions of avengers who worship Tempus, and he has Righteous Rage of Tempus, which maximizes extra damage dice when you use it and then crit. His pal, the Divine Oracle, can make one successful attack per encounter crit automatically. Let's be conservative and assume that only the 6d12 from Vicious maximizes -- we've still got: 9d12 from the attack, maximized to 108 6d12 from vicious, maximized to 72 2d12 from the war ring, maximized to 24 3d12 from the high crit fullblade, averaging to 19.5 1d12 from the war ring, averaging to 6.5 Totals to 230 damage. Plus 10 for Wisdom modifier, plus 6 for the weapon enchantment, plus 6 for Iron Armbands of Power (epic), plus 3 for Weapon Focus (Heavy Blade) and bam, you're at 255 damage in one shot on average. Once per day, but still pretty fun. [/QUOTE]
