Highest possible damage

[Nito]

I saw on ds wiki that the highest natural damage is the Boss soul Weapon of Vestald

With Sacred oath and sunlight blade it reaches the higest possible damage?

[myoptic]

Hmm. With maxed stats maybe. I don't remember the exact numbers, but I think in most cases an infused giant warrior hammer will beat it.

sacred chime hammer infused with dark with all stats 99 is the highest possible damage but i dont know about buffs and rings

[myoptic]

I looked at the numbers again. you can as well, just google "reddit dark souls 2 ar calculator with infusions." There is a spreadsheet that everyone uses.

At max stats, the SCH edges out the GWC by about 20 AR. However, the GWC has mostly base damage, whereas the SCH is mostly scaling, so the GWC buffs significantly better. With RoB+Flynn and a spell buff, it looks like the GWC will come out ahead by maybe 10-15 points. But its hard to say for sure since spell buffs aren't perfectly understood.

However, if you wear the dark clutch ring, the SCH is once again ahead, even considering buffs and other rings: innate elemental weapons get a good boost from the clutch rings, but infused regular weapons do not.

[Nito]

what about the blade ring+2 with gwc

[myoptic]

RoB gets a 50% penalty on GWC because its a regular infused weapon. RoB gets a 20% penalty on SCH because its an innate elemental weapon thats infused. So the RoB+2 gives SCH an extra 40, and the GWC an extra 25.

Just looking at the effects of max stats + rings, SCH wins. The only reason it can compete under those circumstances is because it buffs much better.

who cares, just make a 30/30 int faith build with 40 strength, get yourself the crypt blacksword, infuse with dark, buff with resonant weapon, and enjoy playing as Guts and dealing 1000+damage

i dont even think 1000 damage is possible

I would say climax with all possible damage buffs.

Even a 50 dex chaos blade does over 1000 on a counter with a resin and lottery gauntlets. 99 dex + resonant weapon @99 int faith /w lottery gaunts and rob would do way more.

So, that's the 5000 souls, the Dark Chime of Want, 99 Int and Fth, offhand Blue Dagger, Black Witch Domino Mask, Abyss Seal, Dark Clutch Ring if I didn't forget anything.

I hit for a bit over 1000 with an uninfused Chaosblade once, no buffs, counterhit. RoBFlynn and Leo. 50 Dex, 2h WDR1. 1000 is so easily possible if you're just a bit creative.

Dark Helix Halberd 2hR2 counters w/ Resonant Weapon, RoB, Leo, RTSR and the Dragon Torso buff at low health almost oneshots and pretty much always twoshots the people I meet at 80mil SM on the Iron Keep bridge.

RTSR doesn't affect spells (it used to, but it was patched), not sure about the Torso Stone.
