Maybe the real issue is how many sacrifices have to be made to run the top-chain on a WP build while trying to keep WP soft-capped to E/N and (with DA) L/M.
Yes, I think that's the real issue. I personally settle for WAY below what Katana is capable of. I have a couple builds in the 175-185 range. That's probably it for me and Katana unless I ever make myself a Katana/Super Reflexes, though I've considered a Katana/Electric pure DPS build. Generally, there are too many other things that I care about in a build to put all my eggs in the DPS basket. Heck, I'm sure you've done better for DPS than I would have with a Katana/Willpower build. I don't think I'd have even pulled off the recharge for the top chain.
