Top 5 Hardest-Hitting Abilities in TWW?

Community General Discussion
1

I am just curious and this is what comes to my mind:

1: Hammer of light (Retribution paladin)
2. Glacial spike (Frost mage)
3. Chaos bolt (Destruction warlock)
4. Mortal Strike (Arms warrior)
5. Wake of ashes (Retribution Paladin)

Honorable mentions:
Elemental blast (shaman), Arcane barrage (Mage), kill shot (hunter), full moon (Druid)

I think this list is accurate but I would rank arcane barrage in your top 5.

Arcane barrage hits like a truck when is totally buffed. I have seen numbers like 2.5M

3

I question Chaos Bolt.
It used to be the hard hitter spell. Now it’s cast about as many times as Shadow Bolt and therefore the damage is toned down.

I’ve seen buffed Incinerates hit harder in recent years.

It would be good if you provide your own list and discuss it for fun. Probably you are right about chaos bolt but it is crazy that warlocks can cast like 4 chaos bolt in a row and hittiing like 1 million each

5

You mean between the eyes dont hit hard ? I think mine hits for 1.5 mil

6

not chaos bolt*

7

But You cannot chain cast between eyes

8

You obviously dont play outlaw lol

Hands down a caster’s auto attack is devastating.

In all seriousness, The Hunt can crit pretty hard.

Aimed shot can crit for 2mil+ unless we are talking about pvp.

Does mortal strike really hit that hard

13

Glacial Spike is definitely a truck. I imagine Aimed Shot will be doing some numbers in 11.1 as well when all things align. Actually Black Arrow too, consuming precise shots. That feels nice on the ptr.

14

Demolish hits way harder than Mortal Strike, doesn’t it?

EDIT: And fully buffed Demolish hits harder than Hammer of Light, pretty sure. I’m almost positive my Warrior with way less gear gets meatier crits with the final smack of Demolish than with Hammer of Light.

15

I think you are right. I forgot about demolish

16

Max combo point Envenom or maybe Secret Technique.

17

From a PvP Standpoint, I’ve been nailed with a 3.2M Frostfire Bolt.

In PvE? I think Paladin takes it.

18

I don’t know if it counts, but the Mad Queen’s Mandate ability is nuts.

Yeah I forgot about Secret Technique. I haven’t played sub this xpac but last xpac it was insane with modifiers.

There is almost nothing in this game more satisfying than a juicy glacial spike crit.

It’s why my mage, who was fire all of BFA and SL, has been Frost since early Dragonflight.
