Recommended melee attack chains?
Don't forget to take Arcanatime into consideration when planning out your chains.

That's a relatively old thread, but still relevant in terms of what you're asking.

You've already mentioned the best chains for fiery melee and dark melee.
I believe the best for claws is follow up > Focus > Slash
I'm not certain if a thread like this exists, but I've always been curious at the "best" attack chains for melee characters.
For Fiery Melee, for example, the recommended one is:
Incinerate --> Scorch --> Cremate --> Scorch ---> repeat
If you have enough recharge, then the new one is:
Incinerate --> Cremate --> Greater Fire Sword --> repeat
I don't know the DPS numbers, so if someone could supply those, that would be handy, with say 95% damage in all powers for slotting.
I heard the one for Katana/Ninja Blade is:
Soaring Dragon --> Gambler's Cut --> Golden Dragonfly --> Gambler's Cut --> repeat
I'm dreading to think of all the new ones for Stalkers when i22 arrives!
For other melee power sets, what are your recommended attack chains? If you have any, post ones which don't require anything outside primary/secondary, ones which do require one (such as Gloom from Soul Mastery), and ones where you have enough recharge (and is possible to achieve on your own without outside buffing).
