Yeah, I was reading the question, where he wants a big fat number, not lots of ticks.

23

probably a trinket, cooldown pyro

24

Battle Res

Everyone is talking about how much damage a ability can do but we are talking about the strongest spell (not the highest damage) and Battle Res is without question the strongest

My spell revives a player who is now able to do damage and will do way more damage than any other ability in game

Every second for 15 seconds.

208 * 15 = 3120.

The OP said in a single use which I what I gave in addition to mentioning the spells with the two highest damage all at once.

The highest at one time is actually Soul Fire(part of Pyroblast’s damage is a DoT).

I’m not sure what the problem is here.

26

there was a math post somewhere on reddit, soulfire >>> pyroblast

Out of curiosity, when naxx out with the best equipments. What is the number can a mage output with a single pyroblast. Do you know?

sorry if i am asking too much xD. Thanks a lot.

If a destruction warlock crits a soulfire it’s pretty massive. Arcane power pyro crits are up there to.

Interesting, i will search for this thread. Thanks

Sorry, I don’t have numbers. It’s a lot though. The largest mage parses are usually thanks to very large pyroblast crits starting the rolling ignite chain.

32

Pyro yeah but…so boring!

You want nice big numbers across the board?

Elemental Fire/Frost Build.

Frost Nova>Blast Wave>Cold Snap>Frost Nova>Cone of Cold>Arcane Explosion.

Even better toss a flame shield(if that’ll work) and goblin sapper charge inbetween the Blast Wave and Cold Snap.

Why settle for just one when you could Catch Em All?

pom pyro…

35

Obviously Cone of Cold, but let’s hear what all the noobs have to say.

36

Do you mean from 1 person or can it be multiple? Rolling ignite comes into mind if multiple.

37

1 target.
Found this thread on reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/classicwow/comments/7q6fzt/vanilla_highest_damaging_spellability/

And this youtube video:

ALT + F4 spell

Wait… was that 25k?

Hellfire its damage is massive and only gets higher the more targets hit for raw power its king.

If talking about single target and the most damage in a single blast Soul Fire

Shadowbolt is also high on the list because of how many buffs it can effectively work with.
