Here's a link to my post about it:

Right. As I mentioned, "it also benefits from having the Hecatomb proc in Scorch, which would increase it's DPS." Looking at your linked post, you have two procs in Scorch + Assault, which accounts for the higher DPS.

That's understandable but I always wondered what those DPS numbers were based on for slotting of the power. I wonder if I have the recharge to pull off the incinerate>cremate >fire sword, probably not worth it because I'd most likely have to drop procs.

Thus far, I've gotten my attack strings and DPS numbers from the number gurus of the Scrapper forum. I snagged the formulas for calculating attack chains/recharge from Werner recently, so I will be looking at doing my own.. until Umbral finishes his calculator.

As far as the DPS numbers, if I recall correctly, they use 95% Accuracy and 95% Damage enhancement, and no procs.

Was wondering a bit about the word "or" figured it should read "and"


"Well, they found my diary today.
They were appropriately appalled
at the discovery of the eight victims
They're now putting it all together.
Women wrapped in silk
with one leg missing
Eight legs, one body, silk,
spider, brilliant!"
