Pistol Build - Insanely High Damage
« on: June 27, 2014, 12:45:24 am »
Before, I was confused as to how you could possibly do over 300 damage in a single attack for the "It's Super Effective!" achievement- then I made a pistol character.

Theoretically, highest damage potential lies in Eviscerate attack. +100% per wound your target has. With enough wounds Eviscerate damage would be crazy. Obviously it would be hard to execute (no pun intended) because target would have to survive long enough.

I remember fighting The Beast and stacking like 20 wounds. There may be engine limit on number of buffs/debuffs per creature, but only devs know that (:


As for melee, maybe it's possible with: metal glove, pneumatic hammer, Heavy Fist, Combo, Taste for Blood and critical strike (with Cheap Shots).

Unfortunately i cannot make screenshots (i blame it on Steam!) so i will just post damage i did to SGS Sentry:
critical hit!
SGS Sentry takes 41 damage,
SGS Sentry resists 72 damage,
SGS Sentry takes 132 damage,
SGS Sentry resists 135 damage.

Together it's 380. And that's with just 2 stacks of TfB, no Combo and no Heavy Punch. Character Sheet lists my damage as 24-42; SGS Sentry was too soft of a target for my experiments, he dies too soon :D

Hilf, if you are using steam you can take screencaps with steam by using F11 I belive.

Thank you guys, I can now make screen shots in game! And i have something cool for you.

However, it's somewhat spoilerish. ( how can i add spoiler tags? )




That's Eviscerate in action. 5 wounds.

I don't think this forum software has spoiler tags. I guess you could just post a link to an image and add a spoiler warning if you want.

That aside, nice hit! Especially satisfying considering who the target was :)
Hehe, using url instead of embedding an image was so obvious. Silly me.


Arena champion was really hard to beat. If he rolled higher initiative, i was simply dead. Always. Fortunately i had high initiative bonus and after several attempts i could move first. And take this shot (:

Pre nerf Eviscerate and TfB in action:

And it wasn't even a crit (Bladelings are immune, apparently).

Hehe, couldn't agree more.
