Nice hits. Harder than I've ever done for sure. Although I did get a tasty 5k bleed on a stormtrooper with mind wound 1 that was shooting me once.

I'm a master swordsmen/master brawler on Bria. Useually when i am playing i get a few chat box hits around 9.5k and overhead hits over 10k.. Not too often but sometimes. But last night when playing i got a truly insain hit of 17,077 chat box damage and over 24k overhead damage.. Just so you know i use a 650 damage powerhammer (sliced/poweruped). This hit was with 2handhit3 on a StormTrooper with a blaster rifle who was knockdowned... i can't understand the hit even with all that and i am pretty sure it is the highest hit ever.

jesus christ ... i thought me hitting for 7500 was good

Hardest i ever did was 10600 overhead, with a 79-308dmg 2.6spd2h Curved sword, im sure i could get more with a power hammer but i prefer the curved swords, and it was on a kneeling storm trooper.

Anyways, nice hit man

So far, my highest was hitting a Stormtrooper Mindhit2 for 10k damage. With a power hammer.

I hit for 15K overhead, 10K chat log yesterday - using a powerhammer of course. Hit was on a Slave on Darothmir who was foolish enough to go prone with a rifle 2 meters in front of me

well,

mine is only 10k i overhead damage...

to Force Crystal Hunter than was standing!

and he have 80% resist to ALL,

of course im using the great "THOR" Hammer!!

and it was sliced to speed and w/o powerups.

How are you guys getting this kind of damage? I'm using a PH, too, in PvE mode (no PvP, if that's the difference). My weapon is quality, sliced and powered-up. How are you doing it?

And what do you mean by 'overhead hit'? Which attack is that?

And while I'm asking dumb questions, how can I tell if a posture down attack was successful? Does the graphic change for the critter? Cuz I've never seen it.

Thanks

I have done 16K (overhead) vs. a rifle wielding tusken captain. He was standing at the time.

the most i have done to a tusken in melee mode with my ph was around 6000 chat box didnt catch the overhead though, but i have done around 12k overhead to a stormy with headhit3 with a ph

If you're holding a rifle, prone, you take I think 3-4 times the normal damage. I scored a 2500 point hit last night on a prone rifle holding rebel, and I just hit novice today.

If you don't believe me, go get a rifle, lie prone, and let a bantha hit you. Make sure someone is nearby to heal you. :>

in responce to the questions about the terms everyone is using. the "overhead hit" is the damage you visibly see floating out of the top of the mob when you hit it. this damage is normally a lot higher than the dmg you do to a specific stat pool. most hits actually damage all stat pools and the dmg you see in your chatbox is whichever pool you did the most dmg to in the swing.

If you look at icon of your target on the right hand side of your target window you'll see a little man. if you do a posture lowering attack and it hits then the little man will kneel. when he stands back up the mob effectively stands back up. the same thing applies to knockdown of mobs.

Thanks so much. I thought these guys discovered some undocumented 'overhead' attack. Silly me.
