Smite -> Siphon Life -> Smite -> Midnight Grasp. As for recharge, get Midnight Grasp to recharge in 3.87 (Smite Activation * 2 + Siphon Life Activation) and you should have enough recharge for the other two. Put your purple melee set + a proc in Smite, more chances to proc than the other attacks.
Epic pool blasts will only slow down your DPS for a scrapper (no gloom, sadly).
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.

You sure Pine?, I have MG recharge needing to be in 4.488 seconds (I don't think you used Arcanatime)

Right, 4.488, except that's more precise than it is accurate since we know recharge doesn't work exactly the way we model it (but don't know exactly how it does work). I'd shoot for a little lower than that to be safe.

Your right tek, my bad.
I have both a desktop and a laptop, both have Mids. On my desktop, I have 'Use Arcana Time checked in the settings" but I just updated Mids on my laptop, and forgot to check that checkbox. Calculating with Arcanatime comes tooo.... (Smite = 1.188, Siphon Life = 2.112 == 1.188*2+2.112 = 4.488 seconds.

i know B_C is talking about scrapper, but would a brute or stalker attack chain be any different? Would gloom help out in that case?

Pretty sure if you can get the recharge, the chain discussed will work with both brutes and stalkers.

SG: Guadians of Paragon - VG: Paragon's Darkness
The Usual Suspects: Fimboolvetr (Icer Tank), Tsukiyomi (Mind/Psi/Ice Dom), Smiting Dragon (Dm/Sr Scrap), Widow Mortis (NW)
Up and Comers: Ameterasu (Km/Reg Scrap), Arrhymian (Elec/Nin Stalk), TDMKII (Bot/Traps MM)
I believe Bill's 'The Results Are In' thread were before the Brute change, so the numbers might be off, but I still refer to it on occasion.

MG >Gloom > Smite > Siphon Life > Gloom > Smite
is better than
Smite > Siphon Life > Smite > Midnight Grasp
for Brutes
However;
1) It still needs a heap of rech to get Gloom in there.
2) While its the better chain for Brutes that doesn't necessarily mean it beats the Scrapper chain. I'm pretty sure that post Fury-nerf, fully saturated soul drain means the scrapper chain will win.
If you add something like AAO into the equation, the Scrapper pulls even further ahead.
I wonder if anyone has the Dark Melee ST chain at their fingertips? And for the best chain, what Rech5 do you need? Also, just in case my recharge will not be there some good secondary attack chains.
Lastly, what Epic pools (Blue or Red) has a good ST attack? I am thinking Soul Mastery.
I seriously do not want this guy for AoE damage, in case anyone wants to head the conversation in that direction. I have a Dark/Fire/Mu Brute that is for all intents and purposes a fat low damage Blaster with a ton of survivability.
