This thread proves there is something wrong with the primaries. Fire melee should no doubt be number one in overall damage as it offers zero protection. If it doesn't, we need a balance pass.

it is the highest.

Correction: it is the highest, provided that you're not looking at things like AoE areas and conveniently ignore that it's not the best at single target damage on high recharge builds either.

But with just SO slotting and no Hasten, it's the highest.

Does Fire dmg not scale well with recharge?
I mean if it is the "highest" dmg in a single target situation wouldn't the same amount of recharge grant the same damge increase as other brute primaries?

Not really, since it's based on how often you can use your best DPA attacks. If there's a significant difference between in DPA for the attacks in a set, more recharge will help that set since you can use the best DPA attacks more often. It's why Energy Melee picked up so much with Energy Transfer having a one second animation, despite a 20 second recharge.

If you get the recharge down on Stone Melee enough, the higher DPA of Heavy Mallet and Seismic Smash will have it doing a bit more damage. Dark Melee with saturated Soul Drain on high recharge is even higher. You can see the results BillZBubba calculated from the chains provided in the high recharge link in my sig.

Perma or double rage makes SS more powerful than Fire melee but it requires a ton of cash.
