CONTEST:Spike Damage

A friend and I were bickering yesterday about what could cause the single highest spike damage in the game. After a while, we decided it would be best to let a third party decide the answer. So, I have decided to do it in contest form.

The Objective
Make the biggest spike possible and capture a screenshot of it.

The Target
Isle of the Nameless. Master of Damage.

The Prize
The winner will receive all of the following:
2 Full sets of Consumables. (2 Grails, Essences, Armors, Powerstones)
50 Bottles of Rice Wine
20k in gold

The Rules
1. The spike must come from a single person. This means for example, if the person dealing the damage is a warrior, only the warriors attack counts.

2. Most damage in a SINGLE SECOND counts.

3. You can bring as many people to buff you, enchant you, or hex the target as you want AS LONG AS ONLY ONE PERSON DOES THE ACTUAL DAMAGE. For example, you can bring a necro with Weaken Armor to hex the target, just so long as the necro does not cause the target to lose ANY hit points due to an attack.

4. You can have as many buffs, enchantments, weapons spells, etc etc, as you can fit on you, from as many people as you can bring. So long as they do not do direct damage to the target.

5. You MUST capture the damage number in screenshot form. Showing the after health of the target will not be valid, it must show the total damage number upon the hit or in the single second.

6. You MUST hit the Master of Damage, attacks on anything other than the Master of Damage in the Isle of the Nameless will be null and void.

7. DEGEN does NOT count. The damage must be in ONE SOLID YELLOW NUMBER or SHOWN TO BE WITHIN 1 SECOND.

8. The highest single damage number off of one hit clearly shown in screen shot form will win the prize.

9. No PvE Skills. Period.

10. Any attempt to cheat or do anything shady will result in expulsion from the contest.

11. Due to popular decision and a flood of PM's in game, Minions and Grenths Balance are NOT allowed. Reason being is that Minions technically count as multiple entities hitting the target and Grenths Balance is a life stealing, instead of direct damage. Furthermore, the use of these skills would turn the contest into a "how high can I get my health before I Grenth's Balance the target contest, or "how well can I time 10 minions to explode on the target" contest, it could also cause the contest to become very linear. DAMAGE must be done BY THE PLAYER THEMSELVES, using whatever buffs, spells, enchants, weapons, etc, without the use of summoning or life stealing skills. Sorry for the inconvience to the players who had already submitted using these methods. You may still use as many additional players to buff you as you like.

Contest Length
The contest will remain open at least one week. The contest will be extended according to the number of entries submitted per day, or ended do to the lack there of. The winner will be contacted in game by me and the prize earnings will be handed over.

Winning total so far:
576 in 1 second -diff

Have fun and good luck.

Rules are subject to change at OP's discretion.

Ok the whole one hit idea isnt right you cant judge a spike with only one hit. and the master of damg would have been a better choice. but here is my entry degen ftw 1 wand attack and since you said "Due to an attack" i used a ton of degen and one attack can i have my prize now? or do i have to wait?

*waits for someone to walk in with r10 Asuran Scan and r12 luxon/kurzick*

Can we make it no PvE skills?

Target: Master of Damage

Gimmicky timed Rt with minions and spirits that explode

/end

It's supposed to be a one-hit spike, not a slow painful degen.


I'll clarify in the rules.

EDIT* Added rules, that Degen does not count, No PvE skills and changed the target to Master of Damage (that does make more sense, thanks).

I used two hench, a necro and a monk, both were set to 'Passive' and did not directly attack. All the attack power came from Fiends. No PvE skills.

Fiend Spike:

Well if it IS master of damage, is it still measured in the same way i.e photo the yellow number?

Changed requirements to damage in a single second. The other way was too complicated and everyone didn't seem to get the idea. Whoever can show me the most damage in a single second from one person wins.

Do minions count as a single person as long as it is only 1 minion master?

As long as they come from 1 MM I'll allow it.

Well, time to raise the bar I guess. I suggest you switch back to the 80 armor dummy, since its possible to enchant the Master of Damage to do this:



It's quite possible to get much more then that.

he doesnt count that as damage mr. grenths balance.

:]

Don't see why he wouldn't, it's still damage

If grenths balance doesn't count I have 945

Mine would work on the 80 armor dummy too.

EDIT: oops i left them on agressive so I have to redo
EDIT2: oh well, don't feel like redoing, not worth the effort to try and beat grenths balance

Grenth's Balance shouldn't count :/

if minions count, grenths balance should count... minions are the person doing dmg

Three attempts and my record is 1,190.



Also, grenths balance doesn't count, because the master of damage doesn't register it as actuall damage. It's considered health loss, and therefore doesn't show up in the report.

Trust me, it was the first skill i went to! :]

Lies.

master of lies should be his name. he didnt acknowledge my attempt!

Your build must have needed lots of preparation, either in terms of adrenaline or some other thing. 17 seconds for the first death...

Hrm...

indeed.

whoneedstwelvelettersanyways?

So what is it? lol

ill reveal it after the contest :]

Well, we'll need to review it right now to make sure you're following the rules

I'll pm it to the contest holder if I need to. I'm not posting a build just for other people to try and improve upon it (and beat me).

C'mon now!

Unforutnately, this doesn't count.... BUT I know something that beats anything shown here. Unforunately, it can't be done to the master of damage.

The highest damage possible in GW (there is a screencap of this on the forum somewhere from a year ago) is by a naked warrior, under frenzy, using heal sig, getting blasted by the catapult in the Wizard's Isle Guild Hall.

With weaken armor it could go even higher.

The damage is something in the 20,000 range.

Add a [skill]Winnowing[/skill] for an extra 4 damage!

8. You're frenzied. :P

Does Heal Sig and Weaken Armor do anything to someone who's at zero armor already?

Kind of edit: Well obviously Weaken Armor won't since it just causes Cracked Armor these days.

Got to 900+ dmg...
screenie comming up later...
Kaida i can see what you did there, i guess

Those look like alot of fun, you should try to do a similar contest, but with healing =]

you mean infuse health+healers boon?

dont forget aura of faith and life attune on the target, you need a W/Mo with 16 str for endure/defy pain/sig of stamina and a character with vital blessing to put on you also

gogogo, superheal!

What about most amount of health possible using symbiosis and loads of enchants.

lol nice thread hijack

The contest rules seem kind of fishy because you can't actually prove that your heroes didn't help. After all you could take 3 fire ele's, shift click the skills, use them at once. And when you turn in the pic. with the damage, you're going to end up blacking out all the skills anyways because you don't want everyone else to see what skills were used. The master of damage doesn't report the damage until after everything was done so you could wait for all your minions to die, etc before you actually take the picture... Is there any foolproof method for proof of damage?

Also:
Having 10 minions is not a single person because it is 10 persons. I would think that means the rules DQ minions from this competition.

1276

could be still improved

/edit

Minions aren't persons.

And another note before someone complains: If jagged bones is cast on a minion, the resulting jagged horror is owned by the player that owned the minion. So in my case, the heros cannot own any minions since they don't have any "direct" minion skill.

i don't know how we can be sure the damage is in one second on these...

Thread updated. Be sure that you show the Master of Damage in the screenshot so that I can verify that there were no minions involved. You can block out your skill bar if you don't want people to see what you used.

Meh a cheap and shady way to bypass the rules in my opinion...
