Omg how did I forget about Edér? He was even in the testing party (WITH a pet).

Too bad Amanita comes so late, a corrosive lash in the mix would be cool and the one element that's missing.
Something like Baby Boar near Tikawara isn't hard to get and gives the party a 5% slashing lash for melee weapon attacks - which would add to the lash of Hylea's Talons. Overall +10% slash dmg, nice. 

One thing about that - and please, please prove me wrong - but in my tests Baby Boar does not give a slashing lash. As per description it should, but in pratice the bonus is just 5% to damage dealt with slashing weapons.

It is a misunderstanding: it is not a 5% slash lash, but a 5% buff to any melee slash damage

Didn't know that. But I also didn't test it. I just searched with wiki with some keywords and wondered why such a good pet would come at such a rel. early point in the game. Now I know...

Made him Helwalker (35 MIG at strike), added Fjord pet (3% freezing lash) and Precognition amulet (+25% crit damage for the 2 first crits in combat):

Over 1000 dmg. Trollolol  

Getting closer with a 99,9% lash - it should top out around 560+640 if I don't forget to activte Lightning Strikes

Also: Potion of the Final Stand for consumable.

Well, to my surprise Kazuwari's Call does not seem to stack and I'm getting bored for fishing a higher roll.

Edit: for some strange reason neither Inspiring Beacon, nor Razorgill Dust seam to stack with Takedown Combo. Could someone please verify?

This would make sense according to standard stacking rules - all of these are active effects that affect the same thing, so only the highest is used (takedown combo's +100%)

You are ofc right - shattered vengeance comes from an item, so it does. Further sad news: Vrer Chiora does not stack with Potion of the Final stand either. On the bright side, 1170 is not that bad, and we don't need a Paladin in the party. For the time being I rest my case.

One more question: with backstab from shadowing beyond I miss crulety and curious/treshing aura/communal carnage. Is this due to the comminity patch or it would be the same in vanilla? Would it be possible to include these if I backstabbed from stealth?

[Boeroer]

It could be that you don't get these "aura" bonuses from allies because you are unargetable bc. invisible/stealthed.

Yep, it was intargetability from invisibility, and stealth provides a solution - though it means exactly one try in a fight for the perfect roll. After that the modifier from invisibility goes back to ~1298%.
