    For God's sake people. I am not claiming to have done over 10k dmg to a single target. I did over 1900 to a single target and over 10k to the entire group with a single spell. I said that the most I did was over 1900 pts to a target. I also said that I hit over 10k pts on a "grouped up mob".

    BTW, here's a bunch of definitions for "mob" and not one of them refer to a single person or thing.

    1. a disorderly or riotous crowd of people.
    2. a crowd bent on or engaged in lawless violence.
    3. any group or collection of persons or things.
    4. the common people; the masses; populace or multitude.
    5. a criminal gang, esp. one involved in drug trafficking, extortion, etc.
    6. the Mob, Mafia (def. 1).
    7. Sociology. a group of persons stimulating one another to excitement and losing ordinary rational control over their activity.
    8. a flock, herd, or drove of animals: a mob of sheep.
    –adjective 9. of, pertaining to, or characteristic of a lawless, irrational, disorderly, or riotous crowd: mob rule; mob instincts.

    Default "Mob"

    While I had no problem understanding your original post, and thought the form of 'mob' implied to be straightforward, there is a singular version of the word 'mob' which originated in MUDs, made the transit to MMOs, and has yet to make it into dictionaries. "Mob" in MMOs stands for "Mobile," a term that used to be used to distinguish fancy mobs (edit: lol used the word here without even noticing, read as: monsters) that could move from room to room on a text based MUD from their original, stationary, counterparts.

    Yeah, you could have just clarified it, but I understand, sometimes it's more fun to be a donkey. Funny, my post even mentioned I was familiar with the official definition of the word, and also mentioned how MMOs tend to use the word differently.
