try this.
1. Get master doc
2. Migrate all your stats to mind, including focus and willpower
3. With nuon gold andmind drink (+400 mind) you can get about 2k of mind and 1.5k of focus and willpower.
4. With a good set of buffs your should have 2k on all other stats also.
5. My average ham cost for any shot is about 7. I spam every move I can think of without loosing any mind.
I havent tried dancer buffs yet, but you get the picture.
There is a big with corpses. If anything is standing on layered corpses there is a chance all the damamge gets multipled by the corpses and transfered to the person/creature standing in the pile. Thats the only way possible.
Strong hits on a non-KD with no/low resist is 6-8K with a nice T21.
Speaking of AOEs, wanna have some fun? Go into an ewok village, go up top on one of their platforms. Look down, target one in the middle, fire AOE, and watch every ewok in a 65m radius get PISSED! I laughed so hard the first time I did that!
But I'm just weird.
if the nest was in your cone of fire, there is a bug that the numbers dont show properly.
example:
standing in front of two roba's with their nest in the backdrop
target roba, fire strafe2
freeze time...
*LOG* says roba 1 takes 3k damage, *FLOATY* says 4k
*LOG* says roba 2 takes 9k damage, *FLOATY* says 3k
*LOG* says nest takes 2k damage, *no floaty* (area affects do NOT hit nest for damage - even though the log shows it hit them)
Notice closely on the way that works, I've seen this behaviour for the last three days since i noticed it. It transposed the *logged* message of the roba 2 and nest... the second bug is of course that it logs anything for hitting the nest when there is no floaty damage and thus no nest damage...
Nests, of course, can be hit for many times the normal damage of a hit when emptied... thus the apparent 20k damage to a mob...
i noticed this bug also, this is where i think the mass damage comes from
it seems to me an aoe shot has the chance to hit up to 5 mobs at once.
if you are fighting just 1 or 2 mobs and use an aoe those 2 mobs have a small chance of being hit multiple times up to the 5
so the damage stacks via multiple hits on the same mob

see, vymordryss, that's what i'm getting at... the combat log is irrelivant and more importantly very very innacurate. If y'all watch the 'floaty' damage closely - you'll see that no mob actually took 20k damage when the log tells you that... it's an illusion of numbers. "Bragging rights," ViRuSVX9 can still be applied to the log though if you want to play tricks on your groupmates - they get the same spam - even if it is fictional it does *look* awesome

No, I've had it actually do that much damage. I was on Endor with my roommate hunting and we came across a Blurrg lair and a Picket lair (or was it a Bollie Bol lair? Whatever, make a ram have sex with a giraffe, that's what they looked like).
At anyrate, I tell my roommate (Master CH) to attack one lair with his pets, then the other, then just keep whacking the lairs while I AoE them all.
This worked really, really well. Too well.
There had to have been 30+ mobs crowded around his poor pets continuously, no matter how fast I killed them. About halfway through the battle, I start noticing my AoE isn't hitting more than one target. It WAS, however, dropping full-HAM, freshly spawned creatures in one hit. I believe these guys had around 10k HAM, and I was using a crappy Laser Rifile that topped out at 660ish damage with a power-up on it.
Well, they eventually took down his pets through sheer numbers and incapped us, but I counted literally dozens of corpses and gained about 200,000 Rifle XP in less than20 minutes.
That's beside the point though... I really was doing that huge damage. Granted, that was before the last big patch, and I have a hard time reproducing the bug nowadays, but it really does stack multiple damage pay-outs onto one target underconditions of severe lag.
