[HratLi]

Debuffing armour, and/or debuffing against a damage type under non-ethereal conditions.

Stance for some attacks (red for smash, blue for Crit).

Also I am looking for an actual monk to verify what 'Special Attack Adept' actually contributes if anything for weapon users.

Guardians force
Stances
Potions like bolster str


these 3 can help

lots of strength of course.
berz or fitter lvl 100 is minimum also teched gear, wishgiver +10str quest, strength like bear from guardian, steal strength from shaman, rapid fire stance from ranger(lowers 80% evasion though but -15% to delay helps to get few more hits in :))

other good things maxed evasion, rangers speed buffs, EP + chaining ae stuns :)

I actually experimented on this tonight to see how high I could pump the damage on a critical hit:

Use all of the above, of course using group eth blade since regular eb conflicts with powerstyle. Add to it:

Steal strength (II masterable, IV if someone else does it)
Bolster Str V
Surge of Str V
Guardians Force
Promote Vitality V
Blue stance for crit
And I think, though not sure since I haven't checked, that Hillside brute is masterable from grd, adds str.
Aura of the Bear if you have someone else to cast it
And tech/tps dumped into str and 2hs if you really want to go nuts.

when you tested it how much damage did you do? if you can remember.

I'd like to also know what you got without Boars Mask, just so I can keep track of damage without that. (hate when people brag about how much they can hit for because of that item, brag about what you can hit for without it)
