Did the invasion books even come as slayers? Makes the scrapers the winner for damaging creatures having that rare slayer chance. At least for those that duped filled com deeds to have enough ingredeints to make a collection of slayers.

Also still amazes me to see screens of how players set up the game to play. It would drive me nuts to have a screen that looks like a Monoply box dumped on the floor.

No invasion books dont have slayers but in this case of word of death (spelweaving spell), slayers do not work so the invasion book would be better. Sorry for my messy screen lol.

If you are on Atlantic, I think I have a couple of extra 30% SDI ones.

hm but what if you focused on Spell Weaving and didn't have magery/mystic, then you could go 4/6 and use scrappers to help get you there, no? :p more DPS? ;P lol

problem is you need magery or mystic for the whole fight, spellweaving has no good average damage spells, I was doing flamestrikes of 777 damage fyi against navrey, so I dont think spellweaving alone could beat that dps...

777 damage FS?! dammmmn...I thought getting 200 something against Lady Mel w/ a Fey Slayer was good...that's with corpse skin and evil omen and the spider slayer scrappers I take it?

I think you've inspired me to hit the shop. I've never really cared to build more than 60 SDI on a suit (I've always been focused on DCI, but after the DCI changes maybe I really shouldn't).

Yeah, SDI suits can get pretty high damage in PVM.

Enjoy the book. I'd ask that if you decide to sell it, that I have first option to buy it back. ;)

I just wish they would make some gloves and shield artifact with SDI and some LRC because fitting 100% lrc into the highest SDI suit is hard... I have to wear the 30% lrc Stitchers Mittens to get to 100%

Suggestion for a drop (I would like to see this drop in futur Deceit revamp boss) : Maybe a Lesser version stats cut in half Moiety [Replica] with SC no-1 , 25% SDI and 1-2 Recovery and 10% Random Resist

There´s always reagents.
I recall a recent discussion regarding reagent use in game and people seemed to think regs had passed there useful days.
I was amused by this as my tamer wears a 2.5k luck suit with about 80 lrc & and a bag of approximately 50 ea reg.
As a vet player I rarely die and with 80 lrc regs use so minimal I'm very happy with the top end loot we can pull with that style of game play.
I also enjoy some cursed gear. Have fun and play with all of it. It's Very ez in tram..........

A nerf for what? for Having 200 SDI? Since The SA Expansion you can have that much SDI so its not like it just got released. And look at my resistances, theres a price to pay... I get hit by navrey for 60 damage if not more and I have 0 defense skill no wrestling in my template to get the max damage

I feel compelled to point out that the actual title to this article should be Highest Word of Death Damage. Crit damage comes from the Bushido special move Lightning strike, and it come no where near what WoD can do.

True its a direct damage spell which will always do a determined damage but to me it just sounds like its ''critical'' literally hehe :)

Based off how much SDI you have, there are times that it's more effective to cast Flame Strike rather than cast Word of Death.

I don't have any problem at all with the max damage amount. It's great how players are creative using in-game mechanics.

However, what I do think is wrong is being able to stone off a skill, circle-up, everyone else logs off, and put the skill back on for bonus damage. Personally, I think anyone who uses Arcane Circle should be partied the whole time for max effect, not necessarily in the same area though. Arcane Circle should be a group effect.

Yea right...its hard enough to get a full arcane circle, you want to castrate spellweaving even more? No thanks

There's just no way to say that stoning-off skills is anything but an exploit of game mechanics. The devs made it so you had to have real skill to stay in vamp form, partially nerfing sampires. That's not to say that arcane circle couldn't be changed or adjusted, but stoning off the skill is just wrong.

It is called a necro jacker or miner with a minion in tow. Stick a green thorn in the grass and stand back. Even if they tossed a 0 behind any the corpse or chest looted regs it would be worth grabbing again. In the EC world regs gathering is just a right click loot away.

Any skill buff should vannish with the skill being removed. Grabbing a book and some jewels on to cast protection and magic reflect from a scroll should require the mage skill to remain active. Some nerfs are just a common sense fix based on game mechanics. Like balance a dagger on it's point in the middle of your forehead is cool. Once the hopping on one foot also is added, the cool points should decrease.

Can you post your armor?

This SDI page from UO Guide with the max possible values must be out of date: http://www.uoguide.com/Spell_damage_increase

-OBSIDIAN-
I'm sure his suit is as follows...

Wizards Crystal Reading Glasses = 15%
Pendant of the magi = 5%
Protector of the Battle mage = 5%
Spell-woven Britches = 10%
Spell-book (even item) = 30%
Mana Phasing orb = 5%
Compassion's Eye/Crystalline Ring = 20%
Bracelet (Shame loot) = 18%
Midnight Bracers = 10%
Gloves (I use Stitcher's Mittens because of the LRC, and there are no + SDI gloves)
Cloak of Death = 3%
Rangers Cloak of Augmentation = 3%
Shield = Hephaestus / Vesper Museum Replica Chaos Shield (no sdi shields, so this is user preferred)
Max Total SDI = 124% (from items only) This is not including ANY buffs/debuffs, city, spells, or songs.

It's very hard to get good resistances in an SDI suit. My current SDI suit is 70/41/40/40/40 (gm resist skill) 100 lrc 40 lmc 119% sdi (using a shame-loot ring, but it's only 15% I still need an 18% ring).
I'm pretty sure it's the only way to be at 122% SDI or more, with 2/6 casting, using a shame-loot ring, instead of the Compassion's Eye, or Crystalline Ring.

Btw, OP that's pretty impressive damage, It would be pretty hard to get the highest damaging hit, since technically you'd die as you do the damage. so it might be hard/impossible? to capture on a screenshot.

Bard Song (provo-inspire), Arcane Empowerment, Evil Omen (on your target), Blood oath (on you From your target), Reaper form, City buff & Fish Pie....
I'm just going to guess, and say you'd be able to do around 2100-2200ish~ with Word of Death.

Nope he also using tht tree form from sw spells which give sdi bonus and arcane empowerment adds another 40 percent or so sdi if I'm recalling right then if u use inscription skill maxed that adds more bonus.
Edit: ya using city bonuses and such u can reach in the good 200's sdi even witout it and sone others 200 sdi can be easy to obtain.

The status bar shows all increases from buffs, spells, & consumables, as well. He is under the effects of - Reaper Form, Inspire, Fish Pie, Arcane Empowerment, & a City buff. (in the OP)

The 2nd shot in Doom vs the Dark Father, he's under the same buffs in addition too: Spell Focusing which comes from a Sash, I believe came from an event.

good call but you miss a couple things to max out the damage (about 60% sdi) which doesnt show on the status bar, I expect doing ~2500~ at my next doom trip. Last trip gave me an Armor of Fortune while recording my highest damage lol

Edit: If I want to use what you said with Blood Oath from DF I might need to actually record a video instead of a screenshot but I might also try for a screenshot because in the screenshot of 1966 damage as you can see we see both my damage and the small reflect damage of 9 on me. So its possible I think.

IDk why but in this screenshot it shows the sash buff but actually i wasnt even wearing the sash. Its a bug when you activate the focusing sash and if you remove it the buff sticks to the buff bar but its not active. And second, the sash sdi bonus do not seems to work anymore with word of death sadly. not sure if intended or a bug but I know when the sash got released, it used to work with WoD...

Yeah, sometimes the sash sticks after being removed, probably a bug.. Evil omen & weaken gets stuck on my buff/debuff bar all the time in pvp.
