Claws attack chain question!

What does it take recharge wise to get Focus to hit with that sweet triple Follow Up goodness?

I seem to hit 3XFU on Focus with my current build half of the time when the stars are aligning for me. If it doesn't take much more global recharge, I might be able to get there.

I'll post my current build for critique/advice.

Follow Up: needs 2.94 secs, base 12 secs, requires 308%
Focus: needs 2.64 secs, base 6.4 secs, requires 142%
Slash: need 2.376, base 4.8 secs, requires 102%

Simple Formula for Recharge Requirement:
(BaseRechargeTime/RequiredRechargeTime) - 1 = RequiredRecharge

I played around with this. The best I could get was very close, under one server tick, which I was told I would never notice. In the end I didn't bother to spec into it as I didn't think it would allow me to accomplish anything that my current build didn't already do. It would be fun as a second build but just way too expensive to throw that much influence at one toon. Having two 2 billion inf builds on the same character and all.

Here's what I came up with if you're interested. Follow Up ends up with +298.95 recharge. Looking at the build still intrigues me though.

I guess keeping what I got will have to work, I tried to move a lot of slots around to keep the hit points near 1800 with more recharge, after getting beat down my Silver Mantis and Wretch all night the HP helps.

I have to say though, I don't miss Aid Self at all.

With Conserve Power the Hasten crash is nothing to worry about either.

In theory, you hit the triple stack with a gap at 279% recharge, with Follow Up recharging in 3.17 seconds. Your Follow Up is recharging in 3.16 seconds, so as long as the stars align and everything is perfect, you'll get the triple stack, which is what you're seeing. To have it more reliable, you just want more recharge, but not any specific amount. The 308% recharge is only what you need if you want to run the chain without gaps, which isn't strictly necessary.
