Best melee ST DPS vs 1 target?

So I feel like rolling up another melee DPSer after loving my fire/shield and wanting something new, problem is I want to assume I'll only be fighting 1 target (so dark will probably not be the answer? and probably not shield?) just because.

Would my best bet be DB/SR scrap or am I looking at a broot?

OOps, I did not look at the most recent list Munki, that's my bad, though why is Quatermain so far above and beyond any other KM/Fire...same with Shadow's DB/Elec

Not positive, my guess would be **** tons of recharge and procs.

Dark Melee or Kinetic Melee is about the hardest hitting single target set out there.

Dark is almost all single target and hits pretty quickly for a decent amount of DPS (not as much burst though)

Kinetic melee hits like a mack truck in both burst, and DPS, but it really leans on Siphon Power to do most of the heavy lifting. Both of those paired with /Shield will allow you do some serious damage.

Kinetic melee also has a PBAoE in the form of burst, and a ranged attack, and /shield has the best straight up +damage you can get, though /FA comings pretty close with fiery embrace and burn.

KM/FA would ba pretty nasty in its own right, for both single target, and AOE damage.

For one on one (ie, nothing to use for buffs), probably KM/Fire or KM/Elec

Against a single target I'm pretty sure Fire Melee outclasses DM.

Yep

On those pylon times pretty sure DM/SD is king because it’s surrounded by bunch of dudes.

It is. A long time ago I did a run with my DM/SD with no dudes and just the pylon, it took about twice as long. The FM/SDs are also surrounded by dudes.

If you keep going through the thread Iggy Kamikaze also posted some pretty insane times with an SS/Fire Brute.
