Wrong AT, but definitely in the right place

Hello all, I AM A FORTUNATA... *please dont kick me out of the scrapper forums*
anyways, i am trying to put together a hybrid fortunata, however when facing AVs and the like i would prefer to only use melee attacks as they have highe DPS. now then, im very good at putting together builds, but bad at finding optimal attack chains or calculating how much recharge it ould take to make a chain work.

I have 4 melee attacks; swipe, strike, folow-up, and lunge.

I need to know the best DPS chain achievable with these 4 attacks and how much recharge it is going to take to make work, I will list the animation times and base recharge along with the base damage of each and if anyone can help me put together a chain and let me know how much recharge i will require to achieve said chain I would gretly appreciate it.

Thank you for all who reply!

Swipe
animation time-0.83
base recharge-4
Base damage-57.83

Strike
animation time-1.17
base recharge-8
Base damage-95.5

Follow-up
animation time-0.83
base recharge-12
Base damage-50.72
Boosts damage by 30% for 10 seconds
(I remember long in the past that there was an awkward pause after using follow-up powers which made its animation time actually longer than stated, if anyone could verify if this is still true or not it would help out in calculatin a chain)

Lunge
animation time-0.83
base recharge-12
Base damage-123.7

Beber made a DPS Apps calculator which can be found here:

I tested it with a few scrapper primaries and it came out with the correct chain each time. Follow Up might be a little tricky since it is buffing other attacks so you might need to develop a workable chain and add FU afterwards.

As for your cast times, if you are using Mids', click Options-Configuration-Effects and Math tab and check the Use Arcanatime for Animation Time box. The actual cast times for Strike is 1.32s and Swipe/Follow UP/Lunge are all 1.056s.

And I officially kick you out of the scrapper forums!



... but yes, NoChain should be able to help you.



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.
