Close Enough?

I'm finally looking at IO sets and have a build I want to try for my Kat/SR. The build gives me 3.56s recharge in GD. I know 3.4s recharge is required for the highest DPS Kat attack chain. To me, this seems close enough. Would that be correct? I can easily get below 3.4s with a purple (Armageddon), but not sure it's worth it. The purple would be nice, and who knows.....someday.

I think you need 3.432s for the highest chain... and well, 3.56s isn't as good as 3.432s. You'll have a tiny gap and a bit lower DPS.

depends on your personal tolerance for attack chain gaps. Some people (I fall in this category) can't stand them, others don't mind them.

Whether the expensive IO needed to address the issue is worth it is a personal matter.

I'm not very familar with Kat, but the question I'd ask is that with that gap is the next best chain a better option or is the best Kat chain still better even with the pause?

Unless your actually going for the highest DPS Kat attack chain...your close enough.

I'd say a 0.1 second gap is barely noticeable especially if you don't queue attacks up as soon as the previous one has started animating.
