Why arent barbarians using 17-20 crit weapons

[Guildmaster_Kadish]

Well, theoretically:

24 base (max from 4d6)
10 weapon
2 knost's
2 kyosho's
61 str (92 str)
16 PA
8 seeker
9 bard buffs
1 prayer
3 divine favor (paladin past life)
3 monk past life x3
*7

1001 points of damage.

Pretty **** unlikely though; not only do you need all the buffs and past life feats, but only 1 in 1296 hits would generate a 24 base damage, and only 2 in 19 of those would be on a 19 or 20, for a total chance of 1/12312 hit chance, with all the buffs.

I could be missing something that would make it slightly easier though.

PA should be +22 for a wf.

Math must be really off. Cuz my guildy just did a crit for 1250. He is a human with 40 strength.

Max for a Barbarian is in the 800 range. Don't think you can do 900, and not nearly 1k.

Max for a fighter? 200 maybe, fighters are weak.

[AxeM]

Even without the SoS the first numbers on my fighter's crits are 250+ with warchanter buffs.

300 should be possible with the SoS and a few more pieces of loot.

Your are missing 8 dmg from dm4, 3d6 from the kotc set, and 2d6 from the capstone if refering to a kotc pally.
