The question is how much recharge do I need on my DB/EA for the BF>AS>SS>AS attack chain.

I don't believe it will be gapless without about 188%-190% global plus high recharge in AS (97%-100%) and then perhaps Agility (raises AS to total 121%+ recharge).

You need AS to recharge in SS's animation time. You can see it in MIDS.

You might be willing to live with a small gap (0.1 seconds) if it helps DPS by taking Musculature.

To expand on the above, as close as 6 / 1.452 = 413% recharge in Ablating Strike (or +313% recharge, as you start from a base of 100%) as you can manage. 6 being AS' base recharge, and 1.452 Sweeping Strike's animation time.

Thank you for the info

Gerr not sure I can get that recharge without messing up the survivability of the build that I am building.

Oh well time to relook at the build again

The next good attack chain is Blinding Feint->Attack Vitals. Not as good DPS, but easily achievable.

Even with a gap in the attack chain, BF->AS->SS->AS is still very very high dps.



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.

Blinding Feint -> Attack Vitals I've found to be more than enough for any AV (not in Incarnate Content) solo.

On my DB/WP I was getting just over 180 DPS before Incarnate powers, and I could easily switch out my slotting on Vengeful Slice for the Scrapper ATO1 set, and increase that DPS further (survival would also improve).

And BF -> AV is really easy to obtain allowing you to concentrate on defense so much more.

Well no attack vitals for me I hate vengeful slice with a passion.

The animation just annoys me for some reason. I will test out some stuff here soon I am at 49 and need 4 more purples still for sweeping strike

I always liked Vengeful Slice's animation. Just wish it did more damage for the length of time it takes to animate.
