I like to slot is like a Regular attack. It is best to do that first but if you don't need the set bounes then Frankenslotting it would be good to. Just make sure it hits and hit for some damage.

I always slot mine like a normal attack until late game then I slot something like tough of death or Mako for the 3.75% defense set bonus

I like to make sure I hit 45% defense with it double stacked. To get there, you might need to slot a little defense in it, depending on the build. I have six Makos in mine, as I have enough melee defense from the rest of the build. Another idea would be five Crushing Impacts and a Luck of the Gambler global if you're trying to get a lot of global recharge and need just a little bit of defense. If you're talking straight up SO or common IO slotting for normal play, I'd probably go 1-2 accuracy, 2-3 damage, 1 endurance reducer and 1 defense.

I usually stick to 2 acc, 2 dam, 2 defense. Unless of course I'm using something that has native defense, in which case I'll pull out defense accordingly.
I have mine six-slotted with a Mako's Set.
I'm goofy: I slot three LoTGs in mine with +7.5 recharge
5xCrushing Impact and a LotG +Recharge.
Edit: I slot Parry the same way.

I have both DA and Parry 4 slotted on two diff scrappers with 2 GoTA Defense and Run Speed and two LotG Defense and Global Recharge.
Who do I have to *&^% around here to get more Targeted AoE recipes added?

Since you're going to be using it at least once every 10 seconds, I think it's best to slot it to be an effective attack. Frankenslotting works great too.
Thanks for the suggestions, folks.

As I ruminated on it, this came to mind.
DA refreshes very fast on its own, with 5 Makos' I believe you can technically refresh it every 1 sec or so, what if you add in a damage proc to it. Almost treat it like a GC, very fast with a proc. Who needs extra defense to it when you can spam every 2 secs, with a proc no less. Add in GC with achilless heal, and then you can spam both of those, while SD and GD refresh. 2 buzzsaw attacks with extra defense, then 2 hard hitters....

Divine Avalanche is no buzzsaw attack. It takes 1.58 seconds and has a DPS of about half of your other attacks. You only use it because you need the defense. You slot it as an attack so that it hurts your DPS less than it would otherwise.

whats the maximum dps you can get out of DA considering frankenslotting and all of the procs you could slot in it ?

Assuming you want some accuracy, maybe 2 +3 Nucleolus, Hecatomb damage, Hecatomb proc, Mako's Bite proc and Touch of Death proc for 175.7 average damage in 1.584 seconds, or 111 DPS. It'll do more with global damage and Build Up, of course. I wouldn't slot that way, though.

I am also lvl'n up a kat/fire at the moment, and was wondering the same question. I've been planin on gettin some achilles heel procs into my kat attacks.
I'm just used to puttin lotg in a togg or passive, does it auto the same way in an attack or is it a proc.
If the bonus is all the time like I assume it is, I'm thinkin lotg +def, achilles heel proc, 2 damage, 1 acc, 1 recharge.
or maybe the same 2 rares, 3 nucleolus, 1 def??
And also I'm not worried about end redux in it as the other attacks should have full sets or close to it with achilles procs

It's a static bonus like the steadfast and gladiator's +def, KB protection IOs, and the kismet +tohit. There are 2 easy ways to tell if something is considered a "set bonus" or a proc: when you log in and don't have any toggles turned on, check your combat attributes, if the buff is still there, it's a "set bonus"; the other option is just to look for a duration, if it lacks one, it's a "set bonus".
The Luck of the Gambler global is like a set bonus, so you don't have to use Divine Avalanche to benefit. You can't slot an Achilles' Heel in Divine Avalanche (a mistake I keep making in build discussions). But if you're going for what I consider the best defensive chain (DA>GC>GD>GC>DA>GC>SD>GC), and you stick one in Gambler's Cut, you'll get almost four chances to proc per ten seconds, which is enough that that I probably wouldn't bother putting one in any of the other attacks.
A double stack of Divine Avalanche with a Luck of the Gambler global recharge in it will give you 34.8% defense. If you have 10.2%+ melee defense in the rest of your build, I wouldn't slot more defense in Divine Avalanche. I'd make sure I had 10.2% melee defense from the rest of the build rather than stick any more defense in Divine Avalanche.

New to the swordy scraps. How do folks typically slot Divine Avalanche?
Default accuracy?
Regular attack?
Frankenslotted defbuff & attack?
It's a Katana/Fire...
