Melee Output[]
Could anyone verify the melee damage on this page? I've faced plenty of these while tasking but I'm sure at no point did I get a melee damage over 350. I will do some research myself but I'd like to know if anyone has been hit this high.

Hi, HaxFlare. I was personally one shot by Glooth Golem at level 109 on my druid. I had previously killed some of these, none of which could deal such high damage with melee only. Suddenly one of them came at me with haste and simply one shot me, by pure melee damage. I then copied this damage to gameplay forum, where players discussed the damage and other players verified the damage by stating they've also been hit around 700 by Glooth Golem. However, he does not hit that much often. Which makes it kind of weird. And I'm also certain it wasn't a combo hit, because the server log would show combo damages separately, and not "You lost 690 damage by an attack...". But feel free to test more. I was wearing a normal 109 magic level set plus a mastermind shield.
Thanks! I got around to some testing (and hunting) down in the sewers today and I was amazed. Wearing equipment with +5%, +5% and +4% protection from physical, a single Glooth Golem (nothing else was in screen or anywhere near) was still able to hit me for 647 melee damage. A while later another hit me for 552 damage. It indeed seems to be a rare event as for the rest of the hunt none of them managed to make another high hit as those. I would venture a guess that since these monsters were heavily based on war golems, they also possess the Blood Rage ability. I also noticed their dizzy beam reduces shielding skill and will proceed to update the monster page with that. If anyone else could share their experience with the golems and their melee I'd feel safer to add Blood Rage as well though!

One hit me for 670 damage while I had 29% physical resistance. Then I took off all my EQ, tanked 2 of them for about 10 minutes, and the max hit was 931. These super hits are quite rare (once a minute perhaps), so it wouldn't surprise me if the max damage is 1000.

Makes sense that its max damage would be uncommon considering it requires a combo of its skill buff spell and a lucky melee high damage. -- Molx (talk) 16:24, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
