BB > SB > QS > BB > CS I believe it supposed to be the best chain achievable. Couldn't tell you the recharges offhand, but Perma-Hasten+Spiritual is pretty much a must to get that; but it only takes 70% Global and Hasten with two Rech IO's to get that with T4 Spiritual. Focused Burst is not really all that great in an attack chain. Pulling data from my own KM build, FB fully slotted out for max potential does 350 damage, QS and BB in that same two seconds does 417 damage not including a proc in both powers making that potential spike up to 470-540 damage.

BB->SB->BB->QS->CS was what I figured as well when doing some DPS calculations. If I could some how find enough recharge to get SB to recharge in the activation of BB (which is a crapton of it) then BB->SB and then CS when its up is the best (i believe it will be BB->SB->BB->SB->CS).
Your character does not have capped defense. Depending on your AT the cap is between 175% - 225%. Your defense is not teal in the combat window, it can go higher. STOP SAYING IT IS CAPPED! The correct term is Soft Cap.

Not possible. Even at the recharge cap you would have a slight pause in there.|

Edit: unless you were factoring in that pause... at the recharge cap that chain comes out ever so slightly ahead.

yup :/ what i had figured (needs 530% recharge in SB 
)
I did the dps calculation with the gap in place, but again, its not really feasible, which brings BB->SB->BB->QS->CS to the lead.

Are there any good chains including Focused Burst instead of Quick Blow?

You should just be able to switch FB with QB in the chain above giving you |

BB SB FB BB SB CS
I don't know what the DPS is but it will lower your DPS by 10 because FB is that much lower in DPS than QS. Also because of the longer cast time of FB it will lower it more because you can't get back to your better attacks faster.

QFT ^^^
Focused Burst just takes too long to animate to make it worth it. Quick Strike's DPA (Damage Per Activation which is damage/activation) is higher than Focused Burst, meaning you would do more damage over time when using QS instead of FB. HOWEVER. I have not done any calculations if you put the Apoc proc in FB. It might increase your DPS enough to make it worth it (having 2 purple procs in the chain).

I have been playing with kinetic melee a lot lately and scratching my head on the best chain to use. Does anyone know the top dps chains for kinetic melee and the recharge times required for each attack?
Right now I am thinking its Smashin Blow - Focused Burst - Smashing Blow - Concentrated Strike, but I don't think I see a dps difference if I add in a Body Blow to keep the recharge time of CS more manageable.
