Biggest crit possible?

[Codeine]

The biggest crit I did on nost on my warlock was 4787 on bloodlord mandokir. That is just a normal hit only missing power infusion and flasks. Trinket, Nightfall weapon proc, shadow vulnerability, shadow weaving.

Full naxx geared in bis.....who knows how hard shadow bolt would hit for. I'd say the 8k range if i had to guess with all the right combinations.

They had to fix that quickly before every Paladin in the game started soloing everything. I still didn't like the fixed version, since the stacks lingered forever, and allowed pathetic skillless PvP ganks. Makes me regret not rolling Paladin on K2 though when I tried it out, as that would have given me something fun to do if it worked there.

You gotta change your quote because Nostalrius did come back

In my opinion sweeping strikes could yield some of the highest numbers possible, if you abused its mechanics back in vanilla. %-Damage modifying buffs applied on the sweeping strikes damage on top, leading to some insane numbers in some cases:

This guy did a 6.5k sweeping strikes with alot of buffs missing and without debuffing the traget.

Technically you could do 11k sweeping strikes + (6k execute *(1.3+0.25+0.2+0.03+0.1) with berserker buff, enrage, death wish, 2h weapon specc, DMF buff.
Then you could multiply that by another 1.3 if your targets were naked warriors with recklessness and berserker buff..

Unfortunately (or luckily if you look at it from a class balance point of view) sweeping strikes never worked like this on nostalrius.

This.

Although the calculations details regarding %-damage modifiers being multiplicative or additive between themselves is kinda shady, as far as I know some were additive, other multiplicative, it's kind of a mess and no trustworthy source regarding that.

When you look at Blade Flurry in comparison, it's a shame we Rogues weren't treated with the same damage-modifiers-being-taken-into-account-twice mechanic and the ability to crit on our BF!

Hehe, but doesn't that number have something to do with the encounter itself?

Yes - they become vulnerable upon boss death:
