Best Claws ST attack chain?
Whats the best Claws attack chain for ST?
Is there a best for AOE? also since it's somewhat related. There was a thread which sought to figure out which was better swipe or strike, previously, the conventional wisdom was take which one you like the look of better, but the thread, which had alot of Bill Zubba (Claws Maniac Extraordinaire) in it, seemed to have figured out that there was actually a difference, one was better. I cant find the thread so I'm hoping someone can link it or tell me what the outcome was. |
or if you can really pull off the +RCH needed for it
Follow Up -> Slash -> Focus -> Repeat
Sorry, can't help you on the best AOE for claws.

Strike is a better attack in ALL chains than Swipe. Swipe is sexier. If having a smooth chain is more important than max DPS, swipe is the way to go. If DPS is your only concern, strike wins without a doubt. (In the thread you're talking about, I was using the wrong value for swipe's damage.)
The best single target attack chain is Followup, Slash, Focus, repeat. But you need an obscene amount of global recharge to get followup down that low. 313%.
Even BrandX's chain of FU, Slash, Focus, Slash would mean you need 264% total recharge in slash. That's still on the insane side of things.
For a reasonable amount of recharge, you can go FU, Slash, Focus, Strike, repeat. For that you need a total of 184% recharge in FU.
What's the best aoe chain? I don't know. But I'm quite happy with FU, Spin, Shockwave, repeat against +4s since it just knocks them down instead of back. You could also do FU, Eviscerate, Spin, repeat without too much hassle at all.
Be well, people of CoH.

Also Follow Up -> Eviscerate -> Focus, which is about the same DPS for lower recharge (+274%) than Follow Up -> Focus -> Slash, plus has a nice AoE.

Isn't the end cost on that a bit high?

Thanks Much for the answers!
The scrapper boards are the 2nd best thing about rolling a scrapper!
The first is Flippin out and killin stuff.
I'm just trying to loosly plan out my build for the levels after 36 (which I'm presently on) for my Claws/SR.
My current levelling build which I'm about to respec out of took
Swipe, Strike, Slash, Spin, Follow up, Focus and Eviscerate and FF, FS, Agile, PB, Dodge, Quickness and Lucky.
also the fitness and Tricorder pool.
I'm not wild about the animation for Eviscerate even though it is a literal embodiment of the Flippin out and Killin things credo!
So that will get swapped out for shockwave, and I'll be eliminating either swipe or strike and take evasion.
I'll be getting into tough and weave and would like the Flight pool, I have the vet power that allows you to go right to fly so thats gonna help.
Physical perfection seems like a good choice for the for the ancilary.
I want to start getting him to the soft cap for defenses.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Hmmm...any one know off the top of their head how FU -> Evis -> Slash -> Focus, would do in DPS?
Basically all my favorite attacks to use with claws.
