<span>:manwink: Maybe they included dps from using BREEZE? <span>:smileywink:</span> </span><div></div>

<DIV>no i don't think it works that way...even if it did the next highest attack is only 15000....and its not an illu but assuming it was that would mean breeze added some kinda 1 hit 15000 damage bonus....can't be any buff really I mean they only record damage directly from 1 character, u can buff then use an attack or spell but they only count direct damage from a single attack as far as I knew not any DPS or buff related damage over time....but I could be wrong....but since this is the ONLY illusionist anywhere near that kind of damage I can't help but think its something either really hush hush or some kinda exploit / freak accident.....its higher than any wiz i've ever seen.</DIV>

Krelfearius... WHOA... take it easy...  I was just joking and partly serious... With the recent threads about our (Illusionist) dps and how some feel that our ability to regen mana is our dps... seemd appropriate to joke that it was breeze that boosted that illy upto the #2 spot... <div></div>

<div></div>It could be some HO that intantly kills or something... Or if nto a HO then an Item clickable/proc with an instant kill effect. Almost all those Bruiser high hits and warrior high hits are from using their bloodlines ability weak mobs. the bruiser one being instant to death ( and thus their hp in dmg for a max hit), and I believe warriors kill themselves after using their ability which does something around their max hp worth of damage. Now illusionists don't get anything of the sort... but there could be Hos and such that do. <div></div><p>Message Edited by Vurin on <span class=date_text>05-11-2005</span> <span class=time_text>01:51 AM</span>

Lol, sorry spider, I did'nt mean to jump all over u, I'm just really psyched about figuring this out. This guy is second place in the entire game worldwide in single highest damage attack....and whats ever more crazy is that the next highest is only half...and other illusionists have come nowhere near his damage! I plan on going Coercer but just seeing that damage fron an enchanter class makes me laugh, the number 2 spot goin to an Illu with all those wizzies out there kicking themselves lol.

My guess: Its been some GM or Dev testing our new spell upgrad which we will get with LU137 when we are lvl 200.

lollicakes and roflcopters, on the house!

<P>3 words for you</P> <P>Dusty Metallic Tunic .....</P> <P>Hint: tunic have special effect called Reflection. If you got hit there is 5% chance that you activate buff called Reflection. This buff active 2 min and will reflect enemy spell back to caster.... This illusionist been hit part of Archlich raid and while Reflection was active took hit of Archlich IceCommet ... and reflected it back to archlich <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P> <P>Many MT in many guilds been using Shimmering Star BP (drops by rats in RV) for exactly same effect</P>

[Krelfeari]

<DIV>Tanatus, if this was the case would'nt there be more than just 1 illsuionist to have done it? Or any other class for that matter? This guy is literrally 15k above all but 1 guy....theres gotta be more than 2 guys who have reflected damage and judgein from the results of brawlers there with high damage I'd guess this reflect does'nt count....just a guess tho....I just can't believe that this illusionst would be the only one to ever reflect a 15k+ hit if thats the case...but u may be right as thats currently the only reasonable explanation.</DIV>

[Tanatus]

<P>Again hint for n00b in raiding ... tunic very rare, chance to activate it also not big but most highest melee hits from guardians on ladder came from using Shimmering Star BP same effect just heavy armor - one of most priced armor for MT... Drops off rats in RV (master chest). </P> <P>If you are MT you WILL proc Reflection every fight, if you are caster then only chance that you activate this if a) you been hit by AE and got lucky and proc goes off b) right after that within 2 min you took random hit by IceCommet</P>

[Krelfeari]

<P>aside from a guardian no other tank classes come close...should'nt there be atleast 1 other tank out there with a high damage reflection somewhere? I mean, if the chances are good enuff for 1 illu to get hit the chance of a MT gettin it has gotta be a lot better right?</P> <P>I'm not arguing with u Tan, just wanna figure this out lol...also, do u know for sure if the reflection actually counts as an attack by the system their using? I mean its not actually an attack at all really, is it?</P>

It'd be my guess that he completed a HO that does high damage AOE style on a really large group of mobs and all the damage got added up /shrug. Could be he has some sort of Equippable item that gives him the ability to do what the guardians do to get huge damage in magic like that. His profile doesn't show gear so should just ask him <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> In any event it isn't something we are currently using as the norm of every day play /chuckle

[Tanatus]

<P>Yes I know for sure and yes I know guild there that illusionist belong too... If you want dig deeper check Items forum where ppl were screaming bloody hell then effect on Shimmering Star BP been nerfed</P> <P>P.S. Achlich is beatable w/o BP ..... but having BP make this encounter trivial</P>
