File size is 200k as a jpg format hence why I liked it and didn't post it up directly as an image. Only editing of the image was the smudging of the chat box. Nothing particularly interesting but guild privacy is guild privacy.

*edit* I removed the link to the 2 MB file cause I have no clue as to the transfer limits of my ISP and I don't want to end up with a stupid high bill.

Not uncommon for BST to have that high of attack with that AA you guys get. I doubt it's the highest ever either, since you don't have any Vengence items.

But still impressive looking.

I've seen Sean push those numbers up there, ask him for a SS.

Right now my sustained attack is *1807 with self buffs (including primal) and enchanter haste.

I've never really tried to see how high I could get it, though I remember landing close to 2000 with bard song and Guardian of the Forest.

Gutterr has gotten really high attack like that too for a short period of time. Darn that beastlord and his hairy pig!

*Edit: Got some more vengeance tonight, hehe

try getting savagery cast on ya ninnia and you will prolly clear 2k with that same buff setup and gotf/bard songs with puretone

I'm willing to bet Sean has been higher...think he's been over 2100.

Sean and I and I bet Ruluvien as well can all break 2100 atk if properly buffed =D

I still have to get the stat increasing AA skill to get to the 300+ mark str. As well hopefully eventually vengance gear will be in the mix. Ferocity is I ever get my hands on those lev65 parchements.

Should be interesting to see in the future.

Karae · Post by **Karae** » December 15, 2002, 7:25 pm

There are no level 65 parchments!

Sean should have been able to hit over 2100ish. I hit a little under 2k w/ savagery and GotF.

2295atk was highest so far, but i didnt have a necro/sk in the group and that was before i had any veng items..im guessing with them and when i get new savagery ill be in the 2300-2400 range, although its for a very short duration.

Also, I don't use my AA attack anymore cause it dont stack with sov...pisses me off.

Okay, doing a little math...

With:
Worn -Vengeance 17, Aura of Battle 2, Swiftspirit, Avatar
Spells- Vallon's Quickening, Spirit of the Predator, Strength of Tunare

...I have 1807 attack.

With every attack buff I can think of I would have...
(Sorry if the numbers are a little off)

Feral Avatar (25 more than Avatar)= 25
Savagry= 100
Bard epic and songs= 94ish
SK attack debuff = 47
Necro attack debuff = 47
Guardian of the Forest 1 = 100

25+100+94+47(2)+100= 413
With the melee attack modifier that's...
550 and 2/3s ~ 551

1807+551= 2358 Attack

Possible improvements would be:
Protection of the Wild + Nature's Precision
Guardian of the Forest II and III (goes up to 140, I think)
One more Vengeance (I'm 5 attack away from the worn attack cap)
Edit: Oh.... I just remembered that Planar Power would increase attack too.

pretty sure necro and sk won't stack though ninnia.

Ninnia · Post by **Ninnia** » December 16, 2002, 4:30 am

I'm pretty sure they do stack, actually. I've had them both on me before; of course, they might have changed that recently.

Guess you're right, whoever told me different never checked lucy.

Shaion · Post by **Shaion** » December 16, 2002, 1:25 pm

Urm, as far as i know, they don't stack. They overwrite themselves. Used to stack though. Was also a bug once so you could get 5000 shd atk buffs on you.

As a non-melee class...I am curious...what does the ATK rating effect exactly?

Truant · Post by **Truant** » December 16, 2002, 1:50 pm

to explain it in non melee terms.

it makes dps go up.

it effects your ass kicking cooefficient.

if your atk is real real high (and 2100 is stupid high) then you are the king of ass kicking.

that is all the math you need to know really

but specifically your atk rating is used in the calculations regarding whether or not you hit a mob. And the number is used again when the calculation is performed to determine the amount of damage you do. There are other factors in the calculation that are very important like damage mitigation armor class. A large differential between your ATK and the damage mitigation AC of a mob will mean you hit for closer to max damage more often.

if you have ever fought Creator or Aaryonar you will know why ATK is important. Those fuckers debuff a couple hundred ATK from everybody which lowers melee output a bunch and makes the fights long and boring.
