Scrappers solo full strength AVs?

A 'back of the envelope' calculation seems to show me that super strength brutes with enough recharge bonus, can reach over 250 single-target DPS while at 70 fury and double-raged, and using procs. The chain I used for the calculation was gloom - KO blow - haymaker - gloom - punch - haymaker - repeat. Haymaker had the hecatomb and perfect zinger damage procs, gloom had the apocalypse damage proc. Total chain time is 9.9 seconds.

With enough +recharge, from the start of the fight you'll have about 65s of single rage, 55s of double rage, then IIRC a 10-second crash, after which you'll have 60s of double rage again (the extra few seconds of recharge time on rage are 'covered' by the crash period). So once you're a minute into a fight, you'll be able to iterate your attack chain about 6 times per rage cycle followed by 10 seconds of no damage. So once you're 'established' you'll probably do about 215 DPS over 70 seconds (60s double rage uptime, 10s rage crash downtime).

If I'm wrong on the crash duration and it's actually 15 or 20 seconds, then you do about 200 or about 190 DPS over the full cycle of up-and-down. And of course, you need to 'build up' to that output, not just to get consistent double rage, but also to get 70 fury, which may be overestimating the amount of fury you'll be able to generate and maintain against a single target, even though AVs give bonus fury now like they always were supposed to. And you can herd up minions to boost your fury generation, in many instances.

Any which way, at least in theory it's still (eventually going to build up to) enough DPS to solo a 'generic' AV who hasn't especially got resistance to your damage output.

I can anecdotally back this up by noting my SS/WP brute soloed The Radio AV a while ago. The Radio isn't a very hard AV, or at the time I wouldn't have been able to, but he still has the hp/regen targets you need to beat offensively.

I soloed a lvl 51 Nightstar on my older fire/sd who was not up to the recharge or dps that I was able to put out in the pylon test. it took a long time but I was able to whittle her down and defeat her. Funny thing I did not even realize she was lvl 51 when I started i had beat her before in another mission and half way through i am like she should be dead by know oh crap she is a lvl 51 oh well. It was a mission in one of the story arcs where you fight two V's in the mission and nightstar is always up front.

How do you develop the patience?


and is 250dps the rate needed for AVs?
