For melee I run Follow Up -> Lunge -> Strike -> Swipe

I'm not sure what the best DPS for ranged and AoE would be, I'm not even sure that anyone has ever tested this because the melee chain would just simply crush it. Psi attacks have never been known for thier damage or activation times, and they have a travel time that is like molasses. Widow melee however is high damage and high activation time... and high endurance. |

My personal best melee attempt on a pylon is somewhere between 270-275 (RWZ on Virtue is always so laggy it's sometimes hard to get a good run). This is with T4 muscular alpha and t4 reactive. My build runs softcap without ML so I dont have to worry about it eating up time with its activation, but the attack chain is hard to maintain with the end woes. So what I do is a full burn for the first 90 seconds, activate elude and finnish.
As for chain it is basically "whatever is up a the time". Single target I employ FU, swipe, lunge and slash with 187% recharge. FU has the BU proc and is slotted for 99% rech, so if RWZ was quiet I could prob hit a triple stack FU more reliably and squeeze out a little more damage. All other attacks have the smashing dam proc and swipe has the additional heca proc since it is used most often.
Of course, none of this really matters anymore. If I encounter a hero/GM that is beyond my capabilities I just summon my warwork friends and about a minute later the problem is resolved. Synapse and Mynx were always a concern in the PI bank missions, nowadays they are pushovers. Lore + VEAT buffs makes for a formidable strike team =)
Edit: GMs are only soloable if I have the Vanguard EB pet on me, with lore pets I can still damage a GM but the lore pets expire before the GM is defeated. The vanguard pet solves this issue.

Agreed that with Interface and Lore will solve any kind of dmg problem but I'm looking how i can maximize my DPS "If possible" in all Area. Before My NW was a ST only focus, but I twick the Build With two range attack and 2 AoE. |

Test it in a ITF,I notice That it I could cycle My two range fast enough and keep a good dmg.Also My two AoE plus Cone almost completed a Chain.As result the NW became more sturdy in the DMg delivery and could do such more better. SInce a have hear that scrapper has his DPS builds I was wandering was what the Chains For the NW.

I've never actually bothered with calculating optimal DPS chains, but my understanding is that your highest priority is Follow Up to maintain the damage buff, and then use the highest Damage Per Activation Time attacks you've got depending on what is recharged. For Night Widows, that makes your priority list look something like this:
Follow Up > Lunge > Slash > Strike > Swipe
The amount of recharge you have will determine exactly how far down the sequence you need to go before it starts repeating.
NB - This is all without considering the endurance requirements, which may impact performance.

May I suggest using no chain to work it out?
Just completed a 4:02 run against pylon #17 for 285 DPS. Chain used was the same posted by Luxun last year and I'm running 102 global rech + 3 slotted hasten. That's without the guassian BU proc too, but am missing a gladiator proc in strike and my final build still calls for another 5% recharge... so who knows I might be able to break into the 3 minute range with some luck one day.
This was with T4 muscular core and T4 Reactive radial flawless. Chain is as follows:
FU > Lunge > Slash > Strike > FU > Lunge > Strike > Slash > FU > Lunge > Strike > Swipe > repeat.
