How do I calculate needed recharge reduction for chains?
Each attack in the chain occupies (roundup(Cast Time / 0.132)+1)*0.132 seconds. Add up that time for each attack between two hits of the attack you're calculating. That's the recharge time you need.
To get a recharge percentage enhancement you need, it's base recharge time/needed recharge time - 100%.
So let's say I have an attack that takes 1.17 seconds to cast, and I'm using it every other attack, and the two other attacks each take 1.5 seconds to cast.
(roundup(1.5/0.132)+1)*0.132 = 1.716
That's the only attack between the hits, so that's your needed recharge time. Let's say your attack normally recharges in 5 seconds. Then you need:
5/1.716-100% = 192% recharge enhancement
Your recharge enhancement includes both your slotting and your global recharge. If your slotting gives you 62% recharge, then you need 130% global recharge to pull off that chain without gaps. (Assuming you don't need even more recharge for the other two attacks.)

I thank you as well! I had the formula for finding recharge percentile, but not the time. Now I know, and knowing is half the battle.
I'm trying to figure out how to get my Stalker a decent ST attack chain. How do you figure out how much global recharge you need for a particular chain?
