» Mon Feb 02, 2015 11:43 pm Hello good people!
Today we will be exploring the max possible damage that you can have in Skyrim. Before we get started, I have a few points that need to be made:
-No Restoration Glitches!
-I have undoubtedly missed some things that can raise your max damage. If you know of something please feel free to post it in the comments below.
-Dual wielding sneak attacks are out, due to them hitting more that once
-I am not taking things like falling damage into account as these can scale indefinitely.
-Only Dragonborn DLC is required (I think)
-Necromage and vampirism increases perk, potion and enchantment strength by 25%
-This goes in conjunction with another thread I have made about maximizing your Skyrim character:
http://skyrimforums.org/sf/threads/maxed-character-guide.67731/#post-1631741
I recommend looking at this thread first.
Ok, let's get started!
First off, we will not be using a dagger. I know that the 30x sneak can be amazing, but daggers are not affected by one handed damage enchantments.
Our gear will be as follows:
Weapon: Dragonbone Mace (36,550 damage, 283 chaos damage, 182 fire damage. This is with a one handed potion.)
Head: Doesn't Matter
Chest: Doesn't matter
Guantlets: Ancient shrouded gloves
Boots: 70% increased one handed damage
Amulet:70% increased one handed damage
Ring: 70% increased one handed damage
-These armor enchants are boosted by 25% due to vampirism and necromage.
-Anything I haven't listed can be enchanted as you see fit. Be sure to use extra effect as well.
Now will be a list of the damage increases/multipliers on top of our base 36,550 damage:
-Backstab (perk) for 6x one handed sneak damage
-Ancient Shrouded Gloves for double sneak multiplier
-Berserker Rage (power) for double physical damage
-Power attack for 2x physical damage
-849 points of chaos damage, 182 points of fire damage
-12150 points poison damage (requires Jarrin root)
-11 points from a critical strike
Now lets put all that together.
36,550 Base Damage + 11 for critical strike = 36,561
36,561 x 2 from power attack = 73,122
73,122 x 2 from Berserker rage = 146,244
146,244 x 12 sneak multiplier = 1,754,928
1,754,928 + 849 chaos + 182 fire + 12150 poison = 1,768,109 Damage
1,768,109 points of damage.
To put that in perspective, that is enough damage to:
-One shot the ebony warrior 213 times on legendary difficulty.
-One shot a legendary dragon 106 times on legendary difficulty.
Now I do understand that all you need is about 17,000 damage to one shot anything on legendary difficulty, but hey, what fun is that?
Again, if you know of a way to increase the damage even farther please share in the comments.
If you want me to make another thread similar to this, please notify me in the comments.
