Problem with Street Justice and Fury?

Okay, maybe it's just me, but Street Justice seems to be having problems attaining the same percent damage bonus as other primaries.

I played my StJ brute for a while, and the entire time I was playing, I never got above 140% damage buff (I monitor it constantly). It tended to hover in the 135-137% range, even when I was attacking all out and being attacked.

Just to make sure it was an isolated problem, I logged in with my Claws/EA brute and my Electric/WP brute. Both of those characters performed how I remembered as far as Fury is concerned, tending to hover in the 157-160% damage bonus range. I will try my DM/SR brute later today to see if his performance is similar.

Has anyone else had a similar problem, and is it actually a problem or was Fury adjusted for Street Justice to take into account the bonus damage on Finishers?

It just seems kind of odd that a single set would produce so much less of a damage boost via Fury in similar situations as other sets. And to apparently do so consistently.

Any information anyone has to share on this would be appreciated.

Are the characters roughly comparable in global recharge? An older character with lots of global set bonuses can probably get a faster chain and thus pile up more Fury..could that be what you're seeing?

I'm usually in the same range with Super Strength.

Though, I'm only at level 29 with no global recharge.

Well, I ran a quick and dirty test with my BS/ElA brute and my StJ/WP brute. Both of them generally stayed between 135%-145% damage bonus when surrounded by mobs, dropping down to 120%-130% when running between groups (how far I dropped depended on how far I had to run), with the occasional peak at 148%/149% for a couple of seconds. Both brutes where running at +0/x2, the broadsword brute was L29, the StJ brute L23. I have pretty solid attack chains on both of them - at least enough to always have an attack ready to go, so no gaps.

The street justice brute did feel like his fury dropped faster between/during fights than my broadsword but I didn't get a chance to run them through the exact same contant and at high levels of fury, having more mobs pounding on you probably makes a big difference, which is why this is a rough test at best.

With the way fury generation falls off around 60%-70% fury, I suspect that having a chain of fast activating attacks is going to generate more than having a high recharge and a chain of slower activating, if harder hitting attacks. My StJ brute is still using the lower damage, faster attacks for combo generation (initial strike, heavy blow, rib cracker). If you had droped initial strike in favor of shin breaker, i could see your attack chain not keeping your fury as high.
