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?

Marverick · Jan 06, 2008, 11:25 PM // 23:25

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

Can we make it no PvE skills?

Zeek Aran · Jan 06, 2008, 11:28 PM // 23:28

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.

Kaida the Heartless · Jan 07, 2008, 01:04 AM // 01:04

he doesnt count that as damage mr. grenths balance.

:]

ser · Jan 07, 2008, 01:20 AM // 01:20

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

anonymous · Jan 07, 2008, 01:24 AM // 01:24

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

I Phoenix I · Jan 07, 2008, 01:42 AM // 01:42

Grenth's Balance shouldn't count :/

Count to Potato · Jan 07, 2008, 01:50 AM // 01:50

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

Kaida the Heartless · Jan 07, 2008, 01:50 AM // 01:50

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! :]

ser · Jan 07, 2008, 02:15 AM // 02:15

Lies.

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

Hrm...
