Fire Breath Max Damage

I was wondering what is the max damage that the Fire Breath dragon shout can do? Just speaking hypothetically since I'm currently toying with the idea of a 'pure' Thu'um build to deal damage once I get the requisite shouts.

From my calculations:

YolToorShul - 90 damage

Paarthunax meditation 'The Fire Within' - 90x1.25 = 112.5 damage

--- These next boosts are not confirmed as far as I'm aware, but some people have reported that they work. I'd appreciate if anyone can clarify / shed light on this.

Destruction 'Augmented Flames' - 112.5x1.5 = 168.75 damage

Spoiler:

mask - 168.75x1.25 = 210.9 damage

That would mean 3 words doing 210 damage while 1 word does 117 damage. However does anyone know if this damage is affected by potions and poisons as well? If you use Fortify Destruction potions or weakness to fire poisons does the damage go up?

Thanks for any help.

I dont think augmented flames increases fire breaths damage, but I could be wrong.

Spell enhancements do not carry over to shouts, you will need a mod to create that linkage I'm afraid.

I'm on PS3 unfortunately. I wasn't sure whether they did or not, is this confirmed via creation kit or testing? I've heard some people firmly stating that their destruction mages get more mileage out of Fire Breath than their non-magical warriors.. is that just imagined then?

"I just love this place. Don't you just love this place?" Sure it's a terrible quote from a Drunk Patron in the Hanged Man, but it's true here on UESP. We keep the Creation Kit on hand, for us editors, but you guys can use it too. It looks like Fire Breath is augmented by...well Augumented Flame. It's just another version of Incinerate. It's just larger. My Fire Breath Shout, for instance, even without the Fire Within, does well over the 90 damage it is supposed to do. That is because I have the perks.

That's really useful to finally have confirmation, thanks. I'm not sure I understand all the terms and numbers though unfortunately. By that logic Fire Breath will also be boosted by Aspect of Terror and Azhidal, and I'm assuming Destruction potions as well. Coolio
