That seems to be the common chain I see people use. Trying to figure out what chain I wanna use for my own KM/SD as well (still at level 16). I am leaning towards CS->SB->BB->QS->SB. It requires tons of recharge on CS (around 280%) I think.
As far as calculating dps on KM goes.... well I'll just leave that to someone that actually knows what they're doing
SB>BB>QS>BB>CS is considered to be the optimal Kinetic Chain and (including a Hecatomb, ToD, and Mako Proc; as well as Power Siphon's arcanatime) you'd be looking at about 255 DPS with Power Siphon triggering once every 30 seconds avereraging about 104% boost. Although this is slightly upscaled considering there is the upswing and downswing in the damage boost, so I'd say 90% would be a safer average just to be sure, putting the DPS at ~245
Edit: Procless, you'd be looking at ~230 DPS

Why 2 BBs instead of SB>BB>QS>SB>CS? Is the slightly longer animation really worse than the higher DPA?
Would need 300ish recharge in SB. Doable, but for a gain of around 1%ish extra damage.
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.
I enjoy playing in Mids. I specialize in Melee Characters, other AT's usually bore me.
Why? Looks like it has to recharge in (1.056+1.32=2.376) seconds. 7/2.376-1= 1.94. Doesn't it only need around 194% recharge?
It needs 295% recharge, which is to say 195% recharge enhancement. You're probably both saying the same thing.

SB>BB>QS>SB>CS would hit ~253 DPS versus ~245 using BB. The BB Doubled chain is just a bit easier to get.
Edit: Clarification on some poor sentence structure.

I think you guys are missing the recharge needed for CS here. Gonna be tough going from 20 to 5.28(279%) for CS->SB->BB->QS->SB and 5.148(289%) for CS->BB->SB->QS->BB.

This is the biggest trick, yes, but not completely unobtainable. 153.8% Global, T4 Spiritual, and specifically frankenslotting CS to maximize A/E/D/R enhancement (80/95/95/127) got 5.246/s. Another 10% somewhere would've taken it down to 5.1ish had I checked it before I closed mids.

Because of the mechanics of Power Siphon (and the crit recharge chance) I'm at a loss as to how to score a theoretical DPS number. Any tips?
Also, is the best chain out there
(PS) BB>SB>QS>BB>SB>CS
and if not, what's even better?
