I am trying to find out the best damage setups that are out there, I still need to find out setups for levels 500+ based on Smashing Hammer.
...
note: you always should use Death Dealer buff, it increases your damage with 20% if you have sufficient kill count. From level 400 you should start using Smashing Hammer buff that you can buy from most level 1200+ players, it increases your damage with 8,75% for each set equiped.

<A lot of setups>
Based on this I assume you don't want to use SH below level 500. Also you haven't mentioned EW (nor Coordinated Attack) at all. It won't make a world of difference mostly, except that a high EW can make the Destroyer set lose against the Elemental Earth Hammer.
With Coordinated Attack you'll get an extra 8.75% damage (and attack) if you wear only set items (which is pretty easy to accomplish if you already go for a lot of sets to make SH very effective). It's not that hard to get 2 or 3 sets without sacrificing much damage (coming directly from equipment), which will give you +8.75% damage from CoorA and +17.5%/+26.25% from SH. So the 2-4 FSP to buy CoorA + SH can be an interesting (and maybe cheaper) alternative than EW pots.
I don't sell buffs myself, so this isn't an attempt to make money for myself. :wink: I need the dusk chomper set bonus to calculate the damage of the level 575 setup I am putting together.
The Dusk set bonus is 810 Damage and 590 Armor.
500 damage
Brides Set 2546
Crushing Fist set 2075
illuyanka set 2440
7061
Not a bad choice. For 575+ Dusk can replace Crushing Fist. You mightwant to replace the Crushing Fist Ring with the Ring of Limjarrin. But keeping the CF ring will allow you to use CoorA, which will get you much more damage in the end. :wink:
