Hmmm ok ... But i saw a 48 assassin ( so without assassinate ) on my server hit for 48 K ... So there's prolly another bug around. <div></div>

<P>I hit an 18k condemning blade when I fooled around with this so its possible if you stack everything in your favor to get that high.</P>

Funny thing is, it's not <EM>really</EM> a bug. the combat system is doing precisely what it's supposed to. the higher you are, the more bonuses you get to damage vs a low level char/mob. i'm not saying i don't want it fixed (though my 43k hit IS nice =D ) i'm just saying the likelyhood it'll be fixed isn't that high. personally, i'd like to see it simply be no duel damage, and only conned mobs go to the damage list. if they can hurt you, you can get a ranking. that's appropriate, I think.

Apparently displayed attack damage wraps at 65536 (2^16), seems the game is using 16-bit unsigned values to write the numbers on the screen and into our logs. Some other component of the game is tracking the damage correctly, my hit for 89k showed 23784 damage which was obviously too low and wrong. Something interesting to look for if you are exploiting this unintended side-effect of a combat system with no apparent upper limits on damage multipliers due to low mitigation. <div></div>

It wasnt a bug but it wasnt supposed to happen. its fixed now. dueled a lvl 3 gnome mage and used assasinate and only got 7K
