Your highest Ground total damage burst in a single ability with all your buffs?

[Lazerios]

The highest burst I have achieved in a single ability myself is 56k. With all the buffs of course. I more than halved the bug boss in bug hunt in advanced which has 83khp. I did the remaining HP of the boss in mere seconds with my Corfield mining laser+ leftover time of buffs. In total on that run I did 76k of the 83k hp of the boss alone. In less than 10 seconds. Whats your personal record?

I hit high triple digits at one point with my old Tac Caitian, Lunge III with all the buffs on the kit that had both steath abilities, along with a flanking exploit.

Was years ago now though.

Well, with the maxed out lunge, I can probably do around 10k. but not bad :P

Yea, the steath skills and some of the other buffs got hit with nerfs, (you used to be able to get both stealth buffs going at once)

Never stopped playing, just stopped caring about the e-peen DPS race, lol

My current fav build, is a Polaron based power drain build, can drop just about any sub elite NPC in the game to a helpless husk :) and can do so with alot of the Elites. As nice as that sounds though, most of the time the thingie is dead before I can shut it down in the Queues, lol.

Yeah, I can do High numbers as an ENG, if I freeze people, put some chaotic fire on them, and bomb them with Orbital Strike III, and shoot some... ...But looking at numbers? nonono. That is just dumb, unless trying to blast Borgs, getting that 'Immune' in green... ...Draw that fancy CC-tool and smite them. -I doon't have time to reconfigure things. -Time is of the essence.

-I also use some rapid fire plasma gun as a tool. -It melt stuf, quite rapidly

I've hit as high as 17k+ with a single ability with my science main. I can do 8-12k hits pretty regularly with my tactical. There are plenty of strong burst builds to be made should you put in the effort.

EDIT: Both of those are unbuffed aside from hive mind with everyone in our group and with MK XV Epic weapons and modules.

If you buff stacked I imagine it would probably be somewhere in the 80K+ range on the science and probably around 50-60k on tactical. Will have to attempt that now as I'm curious. I've never really needed the additional damage since mostly kill bosses almost instantly with our group.

Full science burst with everything used 1 time plus Boolien Cannon is somewhere in the 80-120k region. Am full burst science though. I figure why defend if you can just nuke all mobs. Most of my abilities are on GCD. So I can almost spam modules as long as procs are going fairly well and I have GCD on weapon alt fire like 85-90% of the time. I actually have found it to out damage my equally geared tactical by a small amount with much stronger AOE and CC since everything I touch gets perma rooted, with a roughly 70%+ uptime on stun or frozen and everything gets -65 damage resistance.

Science can be stronger than tactical on ground if properly built but it takes some unusual approaches to achieve and requires more top tier equipment to achieve. Definately better to go tactical if you want an easy source of DPS early on but less amazing comparitively later on.
