Druid only please.

Post your highest nukes here.

I've heard of druids breaking 4k.

Nope, can't break 4k.

3875 is the highest crit possible (wrath of e'ci + rizlona's) until they add new focus effects.

1550 * (1 [base] + 1 [crit] + 0.35 [wrath of e'ci] + 0.15 [rizlona's]) = 3875

There may have been a time when the bonus from focus effects was doubled on a crit, but it hasn't for quite some time.

Edit: On test there's a new focus effect (at least in spdat) called Vengeance of E'ci (+45% to cold nukes). This brings the maximum crit to 4030. Of course the focus effect isn't found on any gear yet...

3596, with winter's frost, red eyed mask of rage, SCF3, and there was a bard in the group but have no idea if she was playing damage song.

Just got SCF3 yesterday and my first nuke with Winters frost was for 3100. Looking forward to having a crit with Mage bracer. No focus items as of yet.

Yes, several members of my guild hit 4k crits during the early days of POP. I wasn't one of them =(

Appears to be some conflicting stories.

Yeah, that was back before they changed the way the Crits are calculated :(

No conflicting stories here...

It used to be that focus damage was doubled on a crit. If you had a 1000 point nuke, and a focus item added 200 to it (for the moment forget that it's random), the nuke would normally do 1000+200=1200 damage, and on a crit it would do 2*(1000+200)=2400 damage. As posted above, this changed early on in PoP. Now a crit does (2*1000)+200=2200 damage. Without crit damage being doubled, or the possible upcoming 45% focus effect, it's impossible for a druid to nuke for 4k, while it was briefly when PoP first came out.

This was awhile ago... Before any guilds beat RC or was time enabled. So no time focus items.

Sea!
