Whut, a spider bomb! Now that's something to consider. Just jump and canonball onto them.

Watched the guy walk around shooting the ground, run into buildings and demonstrate the aim of helen keller... That was pretty damaging.

come to think of it I've had another match with 724+ in a stock Catapult and around 3-4 kills

I've managed to do 1150 damage in a brawler without missiles, got 6 kills that round. Most I've seen out of a direct damage build was 1300 from a hunchback with an ERPPC and lasers; dude was on fire that round.

Builds that include missiles will generally cap out way higher. I've seen an LRM boat do over 1700 before.

Really, stupidly high damage like that is almost entirely luck. Luck that you've got the right tools for the tactical situation in front of you. Luck that the enemy team either doesn't know how to, or just doesn't react to you using those tools on them. Luck that targets are always available, but you aren't ever focused. Obviously skill is important too, but the better you get, generally you see damage go down and kills go up... you get better at killing quickly.

I have to concur - used to peg between 1000 and 1400 regularly in my missile Stalkers (both flavors), with a few matches over 1400. Over time and with practice, I've found myself engaging targets more efficiently than before. I used to blow off 2-3 limbs and THEN core out the torso with my poor aim and lacking experience. Now I'll do things like sneak up on snipers/missile boats from the side, and wait until I'm 200 meters out to tickle them with the lasers. They turn to face me, receive a volley of SRM in the face at 180 meters, followed shortly by a second burst from the lasers at 150 meters. If I aim it right, that's a dead mech with only 129 max damage done.

I have never heard a reliable report of anyone doing above 2500. But damage points are just damage, low damage hi kill counts are a better indicator but that can also indicate cherry picking snipers.

So what does that make me with 750 damage and 6 kills in a commando?
Edit: I should point out that it's the 1D, and it only has one ton of ammo.

i saw a post on the forums where a guy got 1800+ damage in his JENNER lol! i personally have got over 800 in mine but 1800 just wow.

go find it it here on the forums somewhere

[TheStrider]

I've hit 1150 with my Awesome 9M. Saw 1200 the other day by a Jenner.

[Sedant]

I have had one match as a Raven 3L scoring 1011 damage pre-netcode fix. I have also had several rounds around 1450, 1441 in an Awesome 8R (4x SRM6 w Artemis, 3 MLAS) and 1476 in a 6 SRM6 Splatcat. Plenty of rounds under 1400 but unless your using LRMs you wont really see anything much higher. Sure theyre's likely a few exceptions but unless you have 2000+ missles i just dont see it happening.
