What skill can get the biggest possible critical hit?

[Blind]

Part 3 of the damage series. Part 1 dealt with skills for rapid hitting, such as EoR or Raise Skeletons. Part 2 dealt with raw DPS under ideal circumstances.

Part 3 is just biggest crit. Luckily, this is a stat that's actually tracked by the game on your character sheet's third panel, at the bottom.

Naturally, this will favour heavy hitting slow skills that deal damage from a singular source and probably has a good critmod on it.


EDIT: Also, IDK why some crits are a different colour - from dark orange to red

Likely Bone Harvest, Primal Strike, Cadence or one I'm forgetting. But you could try to cheat this and build up damage to a specific enemy group. Like using NB's Anatomy of Murder skill to boost damage to Human enemies, or Inq's Steel Resolve to boost damage to Chthonics/Eldritch and the such. There are also components and weapons that boost these damages allowing a character to do A LOT of damage to just one type of enemy if they so choose.

But my friend hit 1.48 million crit in Crucible with all the buffs and such with Bone Harvest before the current Crucible adjustments. No idea what it was in the main game because he ran crucible pretty early with that build.

Though I'm still thinking pre-patch so I'm sure there's plenty differences now.

ya bone harvest with the 2 handed addon and full bloodknight set has everything converted to vit and has 460% weapon damage and very high flat vit and thats just for the base skill, addon makes all atks do more damage so the next bone harvest after the first will get the boosted dps.

cadence is very close to 400%+ every 3 hits so its close to the highest damage possible in a single hit, the other ones i can think of is shield of aegis and its close to 350%+ weapon damage and stacking cd or execution from nb.

i have no idea how default atks but maxed stacks 2 handed savegry with a wps can add up to a massive hit esp if gear is boosting it. Or righteous fury if you stack massive amounts of retalation damage.

DW Malkadarr's Dreadblades + 18/18 Execution + 26/16 Savagery or Righteous Fury can theoretically get to 758.4% weapon damage. With each hand. I doubt if anything else beats that - any other set of mechanics for reaching that kind of damage would probably be too strong.

raise skeleton has chance deal 100k at very maximum power (at least the damage that i notice because there so many number), that is if you using fully benefit item to skeleton with call of grave, example if you combo new item Bysmiel trinkets, mythical void mancer cod, storm bringer of malmouth, bysmiel mind weaver.

naturaly, if you want do biggest damage, you must have high base damage, high rate of OA, high critical damage, reducing enemy deffense & resistance.

I'm not sure how to compare numbers anymore because the Shattered Realm souls buff modifies my damage, but my Rimetongue Saboteur was getting insane crit numbers in there with Grenado (Highest damage dealt: >900000)

Compare that to other Shattered Realm characters, I guess.
