Out of fun and curiosity, what is the strongest damage ability for each class?

Aimed Shot for Hunters.

4 stack arcane blast for mages.

that splash flash badash Lava Lash, son. YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW SON

Yea. *clear throat* Lava Lash. When you can actually get it to it's full potential. Hits like a truck hauling a bus full of lead statues.

That's a better analogy.

Templar's verdict for paladins.

For a DK, I would say Death Strike IF you are in full dps gear and have full vengeance. (crit close to 100k)

Otherwise it would be Obliterate at <35% health

Do pets count? If so then shadowbite with 4 DoTs on target for locks.

Lava Lash definitely took a lot of steroids between Wrath and Cata - went from a tickle to a knockout.

For Elemental Shamans, Earth Shock with a 9-stack of Lightning Shield is probably highest, but you usually don't let it stack that high if you can help it (to avoid "wasting" shield charges)

Backstab hits just about as hard as ambush.

I think envenom hits higher though.

Execute for Warriors, easily.

If you use it with your potion, under Colossus Smash with Blood Fury and Recklessness and you can push out 400,000-500,000 damage in purely Execute damage in 4.5 seconds of controlled burst.

Here you are again with your poser guild.

Mind blast hits pretty hard, though I haven't looked at numbers from the current tier.

And I think starsurge hits harder than starfire?

starsurge/fire are pretty close to the same

For Death Knights, probably a Vengeance-fueled Death Strike crit at full runic power.

About 40k AP, with heroic gurth... let's see.

150% weapon damage plus 330. Improved Death Strike takes that up to 330% plus 726. Glyph of Death Strike takes that to 462% plus 1016.4 damage.

Looks like about 110k or so. Not huge, but pretty big.

Execute with C Smash up.

Easy 150k if it crits.

M'as t'exécuter la face >_>

MB with 3 orbs?

MB with three orbs, 3 stacks of mind stick (the one that increases minblast crit) vamp touch....hard to pop but does ALOT of damage

Templar's Verdict. I can land a 70K Crit on a target dummy with only Might up, while bursting. In a raid it'll be rather higher, and while that's not too impressive, The Hand of Light proc off it (which is Ret's Mastery and is always there) add another 31K of Holy damage, and there'll be another 5-10K of incidental crap on top of that as well. Raid buffed the whole thing can land for 120-140K. Of course in PvP you're lucky to get 1/4 of that.
