Fire/Energy Attack Chains


Candlestick

 

Posted

Hi

I have got a shelved Fire/Energy blaster sat at level 50 and I thought I would see if he was worth bringing back out and giving some love too.

My plan is to try and make him a single target monster with Fireball for the AoE, and although I want to get his S/L defences up as high as I can I know that +recharge will be my main aim.

That said, does anyone know the best single target attack chain a Fire/Energy blaster can hope for assuming an unlimited budget (No pvp IO's, but whatever purples and procs may be needed) and what recharge will be needed for that?

(Note: I have tried to work this out for myself but it seems to be an awkward one - If I can find my workings when I get home I may post up what I have)

PS: If anyone happens to have such a build handy I wouldn't mind a peek

If I'm not completely wrong, the best attack chain for a Fire/Energy is Blaze -> FBlast -> BSmasher -> FBlast or any iteration of that with only one FBlast. I'm not completely sure if using Energy Punch instead of BSmasher would yield better DPS.

Here's a sample build that could give you some ideas:

That build is a good start but I am not sure if that attack chain is right, Fire Blast looks pretty low DPE.

I sorted the powers in DPE order as follows (Ignoring the AoE's - Fire Ball is actually 4th in the list otherwise):

Blaze
Energy Punch
Bone Smasher
Flares
Total Focus
Fire Blast
Blazing Bolt
Power Thrust

So I am trying to work an attack chain only using Blaze, Energy Punch, Bone Smasher and Flares.

At the moment I am looking at something like Blaze > Flares > Energy Punch > Flares > Bone Smasher > Flares > Blaze > Flares > Energy Punch > Flares. But there are gaps in that (Short animation times mean I need to use lots of powers) and I still don't even reach 200dps which I would really hope to pass.

Working on the above attack chain theory I have created the following build (In only about 5 mins so there will be plenty of room to tweak I am sure):

I need a few % more S/L defence (And would love to get rid of the PvP 3% Def IO) and need to shave 10 seconds from Hasten (Ideally).

This build has however made me realise the recharges I was working on previously are wrong, so I will look at my own attack chain calculations again.

In the same way as last time my attack chain (Trying to get it without gaps that is since I don't know how to work out the very best chains) is not going very well, at the moment I have:

Blaze > Bone Smasher > Flares > Energy Punch > Blaze > Flares > Fire Ball > Bone Smasher > Blaze > Flares > Energy Punch > Flares > Fire Ball > Blaze

And there is still more to go.

There must be something simpler I am missing!

Here's basically the same build but with soft capped S/L. Managed to drop the PvP 3% Def IO but it came at the cost of 10% global Rech.

I use Fireball, Blaze, Bonesmash, and fill it with Flares when I need to.

Course, I have like 80+ recharge from sets, so mine isn't exactly normal.

Thanks for that, it is what I am thinking about because they have much higher DPA than the filler attacks I have been using.

Cant his be used seamlessly, or am I just going to have to put up with gaps?

this old thread should have some info for ya in regards to making chains
Cheers, I will give it a read (I remember reading it ages ago but it probably has grown a bit since).

Edit: And thanks DSorrow for the builds, will give me something to build on when I finally get some real time next week.

Forgive me this (I may just be misunderstanding or mids may have the wrong numbers):

Blaze has a recharge time of 2.61 seconds in your build, meaning after casting Bone Smasher (1.5s) and energy Punch (0.83s) there is a 0.17s gap before the next Blaze? Is that taken up by Arcanatime?

Also Bone Smasher is on an even longer recharge, so is there another gap (4.16 - 1 - 0.83 = 2.33s) before the 2nd and subsequent Bone Smashers?

That looks to me like there should be a 4th power (Maybe Fire Ball or Flares or both) in that gap.

for referance, here are the DPA's of each (worthwhile) fire blast attack with 3dam SO's:

Flares: 103.7
Fire Blast: 97.68
Blaze: over 9000 (309.95)
Fireball: 129.3
Rain of Fire: 110.15
Fire Breath: 73.7

Blaze is, of course your most wanted attack, but do not exclude Flares or Fireball from your chains

Now for /eng:

Power Thrust: 73.02
Energy Punch: 229.95
Bone Smasher: 177.95
Total Focus: 112.46

Energy punch, then Bone smasher are your picks here.

if you want any more info (such as Rechs, etc) just say so
