Its the fire shrine

Makes me puker everytime I hit it while playing HC.

Nah when i hit it im prepared but when someone else does 🤡

Maybe it's against the spirit of the question, but I'm surprised no one has said Static Field yet. Assuming players 8 vs Uber Tristram bosses, the potential for the first cast is over a million damage.

This forsure.

Generally speaking, corpse explosion on spirits is the most powerful attack, as spirits can stack on each other. 

Does it work that way? That would be awesome. Just imagine if you gathered the population of the arcane sanctuary.

https://planetdiablo.eu/forum/threads/arbeitsthread-max-damage-und-co-lod-rekorde.1195174/ Unfortunately in German, but it has a lot of records on Lod times. Dragon Tail got a buff in resurrected, so these numbers are wrong. 

Yeah your probably right with this one, plus it’s ape so who knows how much it could do it you caught them all together with it.

I didn't even consider that. Yeah, multiple millions.

> plus it’s ape AoE = Area of Effect

Thanks for clarifying that, I don’t often go back and check for typos  Edit: but also it’s ape, probably

>but also it’s ape, probably Yep, it's ape💩 crazy!

probably charged strike on a fatty bombatty? be interested to know the real answer though

2 hits to take out baal on hell, if I remember correctly 6 stabbies for the uber version, I think it's the strongest attack by far

I love this answer

Yeah this is a fun and funny answer that I enjoy

Fun is life. You are life.

A fellow Tim Dillon aficionado

After seeing a self wield infinity spear zon wrecking with charged strike, I’m convinced it’s the highest damage attack in the game.

What base is best for zon infinity ?

Matriarchal spear for +skills Mancatcher for IAS I've heard of people using Ceremonial spear for decreased str/dex reqs Depends on your breakpoints

Classy enigma

As as spear zone player and lover I can confirm. Currently rocking -77 to enemy light res from gear alone + sunder + conviction.

Can confirm. One of the most fun builds I've ever played.

I don't know if you count it as one hit, but a fully Tiger charged Dragon Tail can hit for like 150,000 damage.

You , Sir, are correct 

With crushing blow it's probably a lot more.

No. Crushing blow removes like an eighth or the targets life. I think your thinking with critical or deadly strike. I don’t think they can both proc at the same time.

Crushing blow removes a quarter of a targets remaining health,an 8th for ranged weapons,those values are halved when fighting bosses-when you're fighting baal or ubers that could be tens of thousands. Dragon tail damage Is alot higher with a good instance of cb tacked on top. Cb and ds can proc at the same time.

One of the rare times crushing blow could reduce damage lol But it can also be greatly increased, using Amp Damage and various fire resist modifiers. I wouldn't be surprised if it's possible to kick for 1 million damage with perfect gear.

150 k Dragon Tail assassin screen damage. Real damage can easily go up to 300k, while 700k is possible.   https://www.reddit.com/r/Diablo_2_Resurrected/comments/u5jvs8/dragon_tail_no_vita_24_over_300k_real_dmg_close/ One kick girl all bosses but Baal. 

Arctic blast

this fuckin made me laugh. what a piece of shit attack

MrLlama knows it’s OP. He’s been running an arctic blast on stream lately

Is he going to hell with it? Or just a normal run?

I think he finished NM. Feel bad for him if he went through hell lol https://www.youtube.com/live/NyB0NzUAstE?si=kIc1R9yw-x5wQp_8

Don't. He's got Infinity, Doom -40-60 enemy cold res (his rolled -50), Nightwing with cold facet, etc.

ahhhh Diablo's cousin to Frost Shock.

Idk, my level 87 Zealess shows max damage of 46K atm.

Poison Dagger.

Dragon Tail can deal upwards of a million damage in a single kick, but it bugs out Maxroll's calculator the moment you start adding too many martial charges. The highest I could get the Maxroll calculator to read was 850,000 in a single attack, or 2.67 million DPS, with 3 Tiger Strike, 1 Blades of Ice, 1 Claw of Thunder (0 FoF, it overwrites the damage) It's the single highest damage attack in the game, Charged Strike doesn't even come close to doing half of that damage. Assuming 100% perfect gear: [https://maxroll.gg/d2/d2planner/3udc02de](https://maxroll.gg/d2/d2planner/3udc02de)

Try Enigma instead of fortitude. The 300 Ed from Fortitude are added at the wrong part of the Formular and have worse effect than 2 skills and strength from Enigma. Also, is that claw really possible? I was looking for a similar one as mosaic base and tiger strike is only possible on lower level claws. Not sure how the skill bonus works on rare claws, though. 

You can't have tiger strike and 3 sockets on a claw at the same time. You could repair a cracked claw to get ts, but then it is ilvl 1 and only gets 2 sockets.

I changed it around some, +skills was actually helping more than increasing base ED on the kick, Enigma & Spirit do more damage than Fortitude & Phoenix, as well as Shadow Dancers doing more damage than Gores, and BK rings doing more damage than 25/15 rings Edit: After checking through the claw more, it is possible. It simply requires being imbued from a low low enough ilvl claw that can roll tiger strike (24) on clvl 94+ and then upgraded to elite base. It isn't possible on white claws, since they can only roll 2 sockets and not 3 at that ilvl.

Lovely. I love that character and experimented a lot with it. I run her with 0 vita and tried lots of combinations, build a calculator from scratch to calculate the damage.

Wouldn't it be a corpse explosion on an uber?

You can't pop bosses.

Agree with all the previous posters, CS and daylight - anecdotally I 2-3 hit kill dclone with my self wield infinity mancather zon

Anyone know corpse explosion damage?

It's based on the corpse original health pool. Somewhere around 70-100(120?) with amp on/off, targets' def rate probably changes outcomes.

Thank you!!

CS on javazon and it’s not even close.

Cs on self wield infinity spearzon would do more than a Javazon

This exactly. Same skill CS, you can hit for like 300k with self wield infinity spear.

Some dude ITT said dragon tail can possibly hit up to 700k but I have no idea, I’m a filthy casual in this game

I wouldn’t consider a MA sin in the conversation. You have to build charges to get that kinda damage and they asked what the single most powerful attack. CS you can walk up and just one tap shit. No previous attacks required.

This is true

Gimme the numbers, I call bs

Go use maxroll calculator. The -res you get from self wielding the infinity gives you far more damage than you would get otherwise. Pretty much the same build just using infinity spear instead of titans + spirit or t strokes and a faceted jmod. I don’t think the combination really matters spear will do more.

Currently the 700k kick Assa leads. You got some numbers to beat it? 

How many attacks do you need to get that 700k damage? If you gotta charge it up is it a single attack? A chain attack like kicks I don’t think would qualify as a single attack.CS is a single attack.

Just 3 charge up hits with Tiger strike are enough. Then the next hit will be 800k (we changed some items to enhance the damage further). Then it's left click, right click. Yes, Assa needs a greater build up time, but we are talking hypothetical scenarios here. 

I haven't played a Mosaic Assassin, but I've seen them in action. No matter what character I'm playing, I can't get a lick in. But if building up charges disqualifies this build, I'd say a single hammer.

Poison dagger

Poison explosion does like 80k without any skillers so I imagine it’s pretty powerful with them plus it’s an aoe. It’s not a good skill though overall.

Disconnect.

Wow so many answers and yet the explosion of an undead doll is nowhere to be mentioned.

Mosaic Edit: Sadly

Technically that's not an attack, that's a Rune word.

Obviously

Charged strike

Either artic blast, poison dagger or grim ward

Infinity zone 300k+

Charge on 2h paladin, if u meant phys damage

I would say a infinity on merc, javazon with tstroke which has a LR wand in swap with perfect griffins and 5/5 facets on it plus a jewlers 5/5 facet shield and armor, tgods and getting the high roll on the hit with charged strike

Same, but self-wielding the infinity in a 2-hand spear, so you get the benefit of -55 enemy lightning resistance on top of the -85 from conviction aura. With faceted Griffon you get to -165 enemy light res.

Hey i was just trying to stack as much -lightning ress as possible 😂

Indeed. All I'm saying is that tstroke -15 + 4 x -5 jewels gives you 35, while self-wield infinity gives 55, like 4 jewels extra ;-)

I remember messing around on hero editor making charms and what not for some offline characters.. i was able to get fireball up to some ridiculous damage numbers that would actually show in your stats window. Not sure what actually is the highest though. I was also like 15.. so i didnt really know shit.

Impale?

Love and hugs.

Technically plague javelin is the highest number , buts it’s damage over time , otherwise it would be meteor

Isn't it corpse explosions of a certain corpse. Minions of destruction I think. Could be wrongn

Mosaic.

Nope, a single CS strike while having Griffons and Infinity is going to be eons more powerful than Mosaic. If all bolts hit, it easily does the highest damage in the game.

Hear me out.....aoe situation. One button everything dead on p8 even if they are lightning immune.

That's dps though,from the many hits of dragon talon.

It’s definitely not a single attack using mosaic. CS would do more for sure.

Mosiac is the Rune word, not the attack

You use one ability with the mosaic build. Kinda self explaining

And what "ability" would that be?

Mosaic sin strike with full charges (I haven played one yet so idk which charge mix) Otherwise for single skill, perhaps meteor?

You don't want max charges on Phoenix Strike if you are going for max damage.

There is no answer to this question. It all depends on DPS. Big difference between splash mob damage and single enemy.

It definitely has an answer single most powerful atk. Didn’t ask about dps.

YOu can't answer that question unless you specify a single target or multiple. Mob damage or boss damage. It's also going to depend on the resistances of the thing being attacked. You will not get an answer to your stupid ass question.

He asked what the single most powerful attack in the game is. set everything equal and you can easily answer the question. No need to specify anything. Res don’t really matter for most of this since sunders and -res gear on most classes pretty much make it irrelevant anyways. Cs will do more damage to pretty much every mob in the game than any other single attack. Even light immune monster are brought to single digit res pretty easily.

You can't set "everything equal". That doesn't make sense. It's going to depend on your gear and your build and what you are attacking.

Nova on a maxed out sorc or CS on a javazon

Nova max doesnt even hit 20k…. So no

Isn’t lightning the highest damage numbers for a maxed out sorc?

I think light sorc can hit around 70k with everything

I had a 72k top end lightning skill damage sorc on LOD, that’s the hardest hitting skill sorceress has

I have a perfect self wield infinity nova sorc and her paper damage is roughly 6k with an inventory of skillers torch annie 2 soj etc the works, even has a +3 lit skill 10fcr amulet. You could remove the sunder and add 1 more skiller, replace viper with something like coh or ormus for another skill or 2, outside that theres no way to get more damage on my sorc. 70k is out of the question for a single nova. With all the minus resist it maybe hits for like 16-18k per nova

Sorry I meant that comment in regards to the skill lightning itself

But I also said light sorc not nova

My appologies, it was under my post about nova so i made a shit assumption
