Assuming you are at the damage cap and the accuracy cap, what is the highest single target attack chain you could make? Assume Fiery Aura for the secondary for Fiery Embrace and Burn (But would Burn even be apart of this chain since it caps at 400%?) (Assume you went with Soul Mastery too for Gloom as I assume it would also be a part of it...)

Also assume you have the amount of recharge needed to pull the chain off.

Any number crunchers out there? I am just curious where it could be around.

Assuming a damage and recharge cap? I'd cheat and just put procs in everything instead of actual enhancements. But something more reasonable...

StJ/FA

Shin Breaker(Hecatomb+Achilles' -res) => Gloom (Apocalypse+random proc) => Burn(Armageddon+pvp -res) => Shin Breaker => Gloom => Crushing Uppercut(something + purple hold proc)

Taking the damage and recharge cap further into consideration...

Shin Breaker => Rib Cracker => Gloom => Shin Breaker => Crushing Uppercut

Ouchies.
Assuming that you're recharge capped, Seismic Smash still needs 4 seconds to recharge. With a 1.5 second animation time, that gives you a 5.5 second attack chain (remember that recharge doesn't start until the animation ends) with 4 seconds of downtime.

The hammers have pretty good damage and fast animations, and since they're power FX rather than weapons, they have no redraw. I doubt that it would be the best chain, but a chain of Seismic Smash, Gloom, Heavy Mallet, and whatever fillers you need would probably end up high on the list.

I seem to remember that one of the top rated ST attack chains was a Dark/Shield doing MG -> Gloom -> Siphon -> Smite with fully saturated AAO and Soul Drain. But that was only considering your own build, not outside buffs (which would be needed to cap damage and recharge).

That's a different form of "high DPS", i suppose.

Y'know, one of the reasons Seismic Smash is so AWSUMx7 is because you use both your hands for the attack. This is why the devs need to get to work on more arms for body types, that way when you make your spider hero with 6 arms and he does this attack... it becomes HEXADECASEISMO FACE OBLITERATOR, which inflicts terrible terrible damage. Naturally this will make attack chains very different, so it's tough to answer the question right now.

If that's the case, Machamp could probably one-shot Reichsman.

Honestly, when a Machamp uses "Cross Chop", I'm pretty sure anything on the receiving end should have it's neck broken in 3 places, but the fun of CoH and Pokemon is that you can use brutal deadly attacks with only a simple knock out as the result... death is scary gais. The actual most brutal attack in this game is Char... Have you ever had burning ashes thrown down YOUR throat?
