Microcosm

You're not wrong; the posts you are referring to in this thread were "why didn't they do it that way" about making larger insps, not saying that you could do it with the current system. Many people initially assumed that insp combining would turn out to be 3 small reds combining into 1 large red, but it obviously did not turn out that way.

Ya, I plugged my redraw in at 1.2 I think, to be on the conservative side. I've got the same problem with not knowing how exactly to calculate the pets' damage, but even if I don't include them at all the damage is really high.
That's the way I did it initially, making a sort of spreadsheet that goes through all the powers as they needed to be activated, so I could more accurately show the -res effects. That's really the key, the massive -res. The way I calculated it with the pets I think I hit somewhere in the 430s, which I almost thought had to be wrong and decided I needed to just actually test it in game. If you're showing 460 though, I might not be that off

I think you're misremembering.
A) The highest dps by far I remember listed in the pylon thread was Frosty's MM, at 321 dps
B) The highest scrapper dps listed I believe is 286, which is with saturated soul drain and AAo. Many builds have problems breaking the 200 mark
C) If you look further in the thread, you'll see that we actually got these builds above 400 dps.

Anyway, I've crafted a bane build myself that on paper should do well over 400 dps; not as much defense as Frosty's, but within the range of using one small purple to go over the softcap. Trying to outfit it and actually test it now, but unfortunately I'm gonna be gone for a while starting soon.

Hah! Well for you, Shred, you can simply tag those three commands Jaelen listed onto the end of your popmenu or your inspexec bind to do it automatically while you're combining/using.

That's something I've thought about in the past as well, 2-3 Pb's in light form with taunt rotating. For a regular STF (I didn't know you guys had done one ) I think this would probably be better overall with their heals and extra hitpoints, it's just the 'master of' part that makes this scary since timing has to be perfect.

~32.3 to all positions in Dwarf, before BotZ nerf; it doesn't have a whole lot of use outside of Dwarf, though it's not completely gimped. Manages to have 126.3 global recharge with Hasten on, but that's not really all that helpful anyway since eclipse is not slotted well and the pets had to take a non-recharge set I was really peeved about the BotZ thing cause of this build, almost deleted it out of frustration, but checking the new numbers on it made me think of doing this It's just now I need two small lucks or one medium sized one to cap me to ranged as opposed to one small luck. The only times it would really matter would be for AV fights, and for that I can plan ahead to have a full tray of them so it's not gonna kill me.

Grav snare might not be necessary, really, I'm just being extremely cautious with the AV's; if someone has the aggro and everyone else is flying outside of range blasting, immobilizing the AV is probably a waste, actually, since it gives up the damage that player could be doing in nova. I'm thinking it still would be useful with GW though, as we don't want her in melee with the tank if at all possible and dwarf moves too slowly to keep away from her.

Likewise on the Maneuvers and Grant Invis, I can get the rest of the defense from insps, although I would still prefer one Pb as dedicated healer/buffer. The buffer could still use ranged human attacks as well. Popping down to human from a form to heal is instant though, so really the only advantage would be from the defense buffs...

Dawn, what part(s) would you change on it and why?

I've also thought of a crazy thing that wouldn't work for an Mo run, but might for a regular run. AV's have, what, mag 50 mez protection in the triangles? 7 Shades/Pb's doing Grav Well and Inca Strike whenever up would hold them at 3 cycles, and those are the heavy hitters in human form anyway... Don't see that working too well against GW and Recluse though.

Edit: I'm on Protector; I think the portion of the Kheld community that would be up for this is spread all out over the servers, so it's just a thought for the future when the test server is open again (and my account's back up :P)

Or wait till i17 and get one to 20.

You cannot avoid taking one or the other. As the first two powers one must be chosen. Using Assassin's Shock to fill the time runs the risk of getting interrupted, which completely negates its damage; on average I don't think that's going to get you higher dps, even when softcapped. Yes, there is a pause still with Havoc Punch, but until you get very high levels of recharge for CI it's still overall better damage than the Charged Brawl version. I would definitely use Gloom for brutes though, wicked damage on that.

Stalker version of Havoc Punch does more like 75 damage in a mix of smashing and energy. For very low recharge you could put in one of those blasts, but you might as well take both brawl attacks then since you are using that extra power pick and get higher dps (unless you need one of the blasts anyway to get to a later power in the patron set).
