Followup, Slash, Focus, repeat. Needs 313% recharge in FU.
Followup, Slash, Eviscerate needs less recharge.
Followup, Slash, Focus, Strike needs even less.
Be well, people of CoH.
Thanks, exactly what I was looking for. Now to see if I can get the recharge and defense I want for that attack chain.

FU>Focus>Eviscerate (no wait) is going to give you similar but slightly lower DPS to FU>Focus>Slash>Wait(.396), but requires 273% +rech in Eviscerate, 213% +rech in FU, and 80% +rech in Focus. FU>Focus>Slash>Swipe (no wait) is going to give you moderate success that's lower than the other two strings, but with much more easily attainable requirements: 203% +rech in FU, 86% +rech in FU, 30% +rech in Slash, and no +rech in Swipe. |
Hmmm, when I fiddled around with actual Mids' builds back when, I got 226 DPS out of Follow Up -> Eviscerate -> Focus and 225 DPS out of Follow Up -> Focus -> Slash -> 1 tick pause. I'd probably want the Eviscerate one - triple-stacked Follow Up on Eviscerate for great cone damage. On paper, anyway, by 0.006 seconds. So, uh, I guess don't be surprised if it doesn't quite work on your ten billion influence purpled-out toon.

I was also wondering if, since I'm /elec, if going without Stamina is a decent option. What kind of EPS do these chains use? And more importantly, if I'm having to use Power Sink every time it is up wouldn't that have a big impact on my DPS?
I can't wrap my brain around "high DPS" and "going without stamina."
Be well, people of CoH.
IIRC there was also talk of another competitive attack chain: FU > Slash > Focus > Evis with both of the -Res procs and two BU procs. Can't remember how that measured up.
