Fire/Fire DPS chain
Incinerate-blaze-blast.
But I dunno the recharge requirements.
Unless it's possible to seemlessly chain blaze-blast. Not sure if that is possible though.

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.
mine can almost chain blast-blaze. At %210 or so recharge there's a short gap before blaze goes off again. If I get a speed boost or something it works.
@Dysc, on virtue:
Virtue blues: Overnight (DP/MM), Kid Ridiculous (FC/rad), Panorama (Ill/time)
Virtue reds: Block Party (SS/SD), Goldcrush (earth/fire), Deadwire (claws/elec), Snowcrush (ice/kin)
Incin>blaze>fb is the top dps chain.
Blaze>FB>blaze is not possible and even if it was it would mean that incin>blaze>incin (which would be better dps) would be possible (which it is not) because blaze and incinerate have the same recharge requirements.
Thanx doods
Assuming you can get enough recharge to pull it off, Blaze > Char > FB is slightly better. You'll have to slot Char for damage of course.

Yeah, to run the chain seamlessly you'll most likely have to go Spiritual Alpha since Blaze needs to recharge in 2.7 seconds.
I was just messing around with a build in mids. If I was going for maximum damage I'd probably slot Char for damage with the purple hold proc, Apocs in Blaze and Decimations in FB with BU proc and Glad Jav proc.

It's .52 seconds faster, yielding more DPS. You get to use Blaze again that much faster each chain.

As per mids, Blaze > Incinerate > FB is about 103 base DPS. Blaze > Char > FB is about 104 base DPS.

Yeah, sorry I guess I remembered wrong. Didn't realize I had PvP numbers toggled on when I calculated it, so I falsely confirmed myself.

Still, we're looking at blaze-char-blast as less than 4 hp/s off of incinerate, but it's all range, can mezz, and takes less expensive sets than hecatomb but still gets a purple damage proc. That's really solid. I like that.
Thanks!

Even with Spiritual Alpha, Hasten, and 100% in enhancement slotting, that's a minimum of about +131% in global recharge bonuses from IOs. Personally, I run Blaze-Dominate-Blast on my Mind/Fire, which is virtually identical to the Char variant we've been discussing, and I'm a big fan. Even with a small gap in the chain, it's well worth running. As Gavin notes above, the Char chain has a lot of practical perks.
But Incinerate has a much better DPA than Char. The only reason the Char chain is so competitive is that it theoretically allows you to use Blaze more often, not because Char itself is that good. TL;DR: At more reasonable levels of (perma-Dom) global recharge, the Char chain looks like it's going to be closer to 30 DPS worse* than the Incinerate chain (rather than the 4 DPS quoted above). The main perk of the Incinerate chain is that it's much easier to run seamlessly.
(* - An estimate based on the assumption that you'll have a 0.55 second gap in the Char chain, which corresponds to 360ish% recharge in the power.)
Hi guys, what's the top DPS chain used by Fire/Fire Doms?
