Hi - This is a good dervish build, stop asking if yours is.

I find it funny that you waited over a month before coming up with your own numbers to try and prove your side of the argument.

Also my numbers are not "wrong" they are optimistic there is a difference. Yes I didn't bookmark this topic and forgot that I posted in it So it took me a while to look into it again by accident. But that is completely irrelevant since I am still right, no matter how long it takes.

"Optimistic" is just plain wrong. Imaginary would be the right word. There is nothing even remotely realistic about your numbers.
For a real comparison you have to take average damage and not max damage. Average damage of a scythe 25. With high mastery the critical chance is only about 20%, which increases the average damage to about 30. That's nowhere near the 86 you claim. In fact the 86 is wrong, even if you could critical with every hit. Critical means max damage (which is 41) and 50% bonus damage, so you end up with about 60 for a critical and not 86.

Bottom line: Please stop inventing ridiculous numbers trying to prove your point. That's ridiculous.

Target Armor 60

Fiery Ornate Scythe
Fire Damage: 9-41
Damage: +15% (When health is above 50%)

When I used Conjure Flame my Fire Magic = 8 which is (+13 fire damage)
Asura Scan = 75% More Damage at rank 10 on the Asura Title Track
I am the Strongest! = +20 Damage at rank 10 on the Norn Title Track
Aura of Holy Might = 24% More damage at rank 4 on the Kurzick Title Track
Scythe Mastery = 14

Normal attack = [86] Critical
Normal attack + Conjure Fire = [99] Critical (86 + 13 = 99)
Normal attack + I am the Strongest = [106] Critical (86 + 20 = 106)
Normal attack + Aura of Holy Might = [130] Critical (86 + 44(52%) = 130)
Normal attack + Asura Scan = [150] Critical (86 + 64 = 150)

Normal attack + Conjure Fire + I am the Strongest = [119] Critical (86 + 13 + 20 = 119)
Normal attack + Conjure Fire + I am the Strongest + Asura Scan = [208] Critical (119 + 89{75%} = 208)

Normal attack + I am the Strongest + Aura of Holy Might = [150] Critical (86 + 20 + 44 = 150)

Normal attack + I am the Strongest + Aura of Holy Might + Asura Scan = [262] Critical (150 + 112{75%} = 262)

Sundering Damage Test

Here are the numbers I got with a Sundering Scythe
Slashing Damage: 9-41
Damage: +15% (When health is above 50%)

Normal attack = [105]
Normal attack + Conjure Fire = N/A
Normal attack + I am the Strongest = [125]
Normal attack + Aura of Holy Might = [160]
Normal attack + Asura Scan = [184]
Normal attack + I am the Strongest + Aura of Holy Might = [180]
Normal attack + I am the Strongest + Asura Scan = [186]
Normal attack + Aura of Holy Might + Asura Scan = [228]
Normal attack + I am the Strongest + Aura of Holy Might + Asura Scan = [315]

Highest amount of damage I did for a single attack

Radiant Scythe + I am the Strongest + Aura of Holy Might + Asura Scan = [397]

Go test for yourself those numbers are not fictitious.

Lol. You are funny
First, [[Conjure Flame] or any other conjure don't really do well with [[aura of holy might].
Second, as you have proven yourself by posting these numbers, your "test setup" is completely unrealistic and will about never happen in any even remotely real situation.
And still you assume criticals with every hit which isn't even remotely realistic. Hint: You can only bring 3 PvE skills, one of which has to be [[eternal aura] since we are talking about avatar builds here.

So yes, it's all fiction. Had you even bothered to look at my post you would notice that; Oh hey she never put Conjure flame and Aura of Holy Might together for the damage test. So your first great point is gone... great job. Don't bother joining a debate team definitely not your thing.

The point of my test was to show the highest possible damage and obviously unless you are a complete moron you can figure out on your own that you will not be getting a critical on every single attack, but that overall average attack damage will still be increased whether you get a critical attack or not.

As for your "hint" I was talking about a wounding strike build not an avatar build so again that wonderful "hint" of yours is full of stupid.

I thought normal monster AL was the same, you just don't do the same damage because of the increased difference in levels. Monsters have the normal armor plus something like 3 (I'm not 100% sure of the number, can anybody confirm this?) for every level above 20. Since lvl 26 to 28 foes are very common, armor levels are quite high in HM.
This of cause results in taking reduced damage because they a higher level. The important thing is that armor ignoring attacks will bypass it and deal full damage, no matter the enemy level (which is why armor ignoring stuff totally rocks in HM).
