Low recharge, good DPS?

I know it's the "wrong" forum, but that's where all the attack chain guru are. =)

Wich brute primaries would give the best DPS, if you have only 25%-ish recharge in all your attacks? I'm curious how damaging a granite brute could be, even with the -65%. ( so 90-65= 25% more or less)

Gonna go with Fire here with gloom.


I actually leveled one of those to 50. Was thinking if I wanted to take down an agro cap of AV's... Well what's better then Granite?

I recall Fire Melee being one of the better DPS sets when using the least amount of Recharge.

Incinerate>Scorch>Cremate>Scorch isn't the optimal attack string for Scrapper fire melee (Inc>GFS>Crem), but it has exceptional DPS (69.6 base DPS) and low recharge requirements (which are actually realistically attainable at common IO levels with Hasten).

Incinerate: 10 sec base rech, 4.092 sec needed, 145% +rech required
Scorch: 3 sec base rech, 1.716 sec needed, 75% +rech required
Cremate: 8 sec base rech, 4.224 sec needed, 90% +rech required

GFS > Gloom > Incinerate > Scorch > Cremate > Scorch

Recharge values:
1) GFS 66% (131% pre-Granite)
2) Gloom 42% (107% pre-Granite)
3) Incinerate 27% (92% pre-Granite)
4) Cremate 0% (65% pre-Granite)
5) Scorch 75% (140% pre-Granite) <--place Hecatombs here

So you will need some global recharge to drive this chain in Granite, but it shouldn't take very much.

I would love to see a "best chain" thread that assumed no Hasten. I don't mind building some Recharge in set bonuses or unique IOs, but some of my builds don't have Hasten either because of concept or because I can't fit in another power pool.

Thnaks all. I'm not sure i'll be able to pull enough recharge to match Chaos_string's chain, but i should be close enough. =)

I started it today and i'll make the build little by little until i reach 30-ish.

Well if you move Scorch between Gloom and Incinerate like so... GFS > Gloom > Scorch > Incinerate > Cremate > Scorch, should put the recharge down a bit. I don't have the numbers infront of me but maybe if you put Fire Sword in place of Scorch, might be able to lower down the recharge more.

Good idea.
