So I've played DAO pretty thoroughly, using all of the classes, trying different specs (not necessarily finishing the game each time), and pretty consistently it seems that the mages are the damage dealers.  It was my mage that got me my "Heavy Hitter" achievement, and 200+ damage is pretty standard using Virulent Walking Bomb,

But my mage isn't the one who holds the damage record in all of my playthroughs.

It's Leliana, who shocked the hell out of me by doing 800+ damage on multiple occasions - and 4-600+ more often than that.  My current high is 877.  I was looking around at random people's profiles to see if anyone else had something similar, but no one seems to come close.

So now I'm wondering if archer-spec'd rogues are the best class.  I actually have no idea what she's doing to cause such tremendous damage, but since she is using "Rapid Shot", I know it's not a standard crit, but must be Arrow of Slaying or Critical Shot.  Has anyone else had any experience with uncommon damage?

And if not, what have you found to be the best damage dealing classes/specs?

[Loc'n'lol]

Arrow of slaying pretty much one shots all monsters ranked as normal and below. Other than that and a couple of other talents, archery is pretty weak in terms of damage output.

So what do you find to be the most consistent high-damage dealing class? What specs, what talents/spells?

[Raisthlin Arckon]

my rogue/archer does 900+ damage with arrow of slaying. pretty much one shot kill anything yellows or lower

[skullsmasher82]

i agree. an arcanne warrior with 70+ magic, heroic offense and a good sword is just deadly. Then again, i havent tried a dual wielding backstabber rogue yet.

I have to see in time but the mage thing sounds right to me cause with the frost cone and virulent wlaking bomb seemes to combo in 110 damage. so it's like who knows in time what I can pull off.

[Zenthar Aseth]

Death Cloud + Death hex does 250+ damage

Arrow of slaying is nice. On my archer it hitted 203 at level 8. (I think only cuz on that level enemies dont got more health than that =D

[morti84]

casters are going to have higher one hit damage outputs but don't forget melee classes often have combos which deal 4-5 hits which perhaps still aren't up to spec with some spells but the mages don't have the survivability warriors do... I think if you stop and look at it from the top down things are pretty fair.

[Zenthar Aseth]

Mages can have a lot BETTER survivability than warriors..

[lazorexplosion]

Dual dagger wielding berzerker warriors really pump out the single target damage, especially with good runes. With dual weapon sweep and whirlwind and poison skills for bombs they can do good AOE damage too, albeit not with a huge radius. Doing even better with this guy than with my mage.

ultimately mage have a lot more survavibility then warriror. Legion of armor + Maxed combat magic and shimmering shield ( Arcane warrior) = nothing can stop u...everyone or almost only do 1 damage to u or a bit more with armor penetration and you get 75% resist all.

[Zenthar Aseth]

And you can get arcane shield + stone armor for even more armor and resistance

1113 on my DE/Rogue/Archer/Assassin/Bard is my highest 

[analtony2099]

um...i'm guessing this is all on normal?

[TriHornedDragon]

Normal of course

[Atranes]

770 or so v. the high dragon on hard. Used hexes 1, 2, and 4, then cover with a death cloud. Entropic death is nice, and even better if set up with the first two hexes.

[Dieover]

Normal with OP items? no way you can hit that hard without cheating, but i gonna try out the slaying skill and see it for myself first : D

[Thanatos45]

It seems to be quite possible with arrow of slaying, although I haven't tried it myself yet.

[StarMars]

Omg, my highest is just around 90 I think. lol I'm off this post before I read spoiler spells/ combos...

[0mar]

I did something like 1300 with mana clash + vulnerability hex.

[TriHornedDragon]

K, now my highest is 3249 and i can still do more... GG formy first manaclash mage lol 

[eikiX]

what is DE and GG? Its easy once u know it but how the hell are noobs supposed to understand anything
