That's a good point. Running that chain would eliminate the gap, making the chain more efficient. Less recharge is required in Ablating. AS would still need to recharge in about 3.828s for it to be gapless. Sounds like a winner to me.

SS slotted with Armageddon set, Ablating equipped with Hecatombs, AS with the ATO 1 set and NS slotted with the ATO 2 set at i24. Change the chain to SS-NS-Ab-AS so that you have a chance to hit insta-charged BU before queuing up AS.
I will try to check this out on test. Last night when I tried to crunch the numbers, it looked like the existing chain even with pauses was doing more DPS in 2 cycles that the new chain with NS ... but it was close. The higher crits on SS might switch things around, and the ATO2 as you suggest. Be a while before I have time to do it.

Heck I may just strip the guy and rebuild my 50 (stripped) NW to try to match Person34's times since I can't seem to get there with a Stalker. I've also heard crazy things about TW/Bio Scraps, but they may be out of whack because of the funkiness on test. So many choices ....... so few purple sets to strip out lol.

Thanks guys.

Actually I think the Stalker ATO 2 proc is a global so it does not matter which is used first, NS or Ab.

I am going to make my DB/Nin into the build I originally planned and try to destroy all scrapper/stalker/brute pylon times. Then petition to have ALL events activated at the same time from today until the end. I want to kill Praetorians, Nemesis, Zombies, Rikti and Banners while opening Xmas presents and ToT'ing at the same time.

We wait for them to dump a market-load of stuff on us for free so we can kit-out all our toons for one last round of who-rahs. Then we pack up our bags and start walking down the lonely road with one thumb out ala end-theme of incredible hulk.

I guess I'm just bummed because there's really no other MMO I seem to have any interest in playing. Unless someone can make some suggestions. All the other stuff like Star Wars, TKOR, DDO, LOTR never really grabbed me and seems very laborious in comparison with COX. I still have a lifetime sub (bought in a moment of stupidity) for Champions Online but I never play it, and it seems lame. Gah.

Nobody probably cares anymore but DB/Nin Stalker, 1:58 for 453DPS using T4 Musculature Core, T4 Reactive Radial and the Empower Combo.

There really isn't anything to replace this game. I started playing this in my early college years and have tried just about every popular MMO that has been out . A few have kept my attention for a week or two, but I always came back to CoX. Maybe it's the diverse powersets or the crazy things you guys were able to do with IOs, but it kept me invested.

I hope the developers out there realize that there is still a hole in the Superhero Market. CO and DCUO will never be good enough to fill it. You just don't feel like a hero playing those games.

Which chain?

There must be something that reactive is doing better with DB than Core Degen, because both your faster times have had Reactive powering them (with Empower) ... where for me all Empower did was slow things down or break even.

Shrug. I don't have the heart to grind our reactive T4 now to test it. Or even to test that other chain with NS.

May give guild wars 2 a try even though NCSoft publishes it, looks like it might be interesting for a while.

Ab-SS-Ab-AS.

I'm going to stay away from MMORPG's for awhile. They seem to eat up more time than other types of games.

As a lot of people mention, there's really nothing that compares with CoH. Beyond that, I've been looking into The Secret World and may give that a try. You "level" based on your equipment and not on experience (as I understand it) which would give It a unique factor that might be enough to entertain me for a bit.

Nothing that impressive but 4:30 for a STj/Ninjutsu
