So I finished the game at level 70, having started as a warrior with the deception tree of magic. My general idea was that Mimic sounded really cool, and it was the only magic tree which gave you a simple ranged attack. This was before I found Shift.
Fast-forward to the end of the game, I had 40 strength and barely anything invested in anything else, luck runes on the Lord's set of armor to give me a normal roll speed with the best heavy armour in the game and - of course - the Peacemaker sword. Using Shift, up until this point I was killing bosses in 2-3 hits, but that was before I got the 560+ damage rating Peacemaker.
The final boss fight starts, I dodge the first leaping attack by the boss. Earlier, I discovered that if I initiate the attack triggered by Shift, I can't get knocked out of the animation - so I started the wind up with the boss still charging at me. After a weird number of screen cuts and camera angles which made me think the game was broken (but is apprently trying to illustrate me dealing the final blow and the enemy knocking me off the tower), the ending sequence and credits started rolling.
I have no idea how much damage I dealt to the final boss in that one hit. All I do know is that against normal enemies I was dealing >5000 damage and with my previous sword (360AR) I dealt >6000 against the second last boss (the lost brothers).
Honestly, once I realised what had happened (after this long sequence of assaulting a citadel, climbing a tower, and facing off against the big bad only to kill him in one hit and without taking any damage), I just laughed.
I'm still laughing :D
