MA ST attack chain

[Duck-Smokes-Quack]

Hi guys,

 

 

I remember that back in the day the optimal attack chain for MA ST was: CAK>SK>CS>SK

 

This was actually quite an easy chain to achieve IIRC (not exactly sure on the global recharge % needed to achieve this? - any ideas?)

[My toon is actually MA/SR so even easier to achieve ... I am wondering if he even needs Hasten tbh]

 

 

I know that EC traditionally had a very low DPA due to the long cast time (shame because it looks so friggin cool) - but there was a change made to EC towards the end of the original CoH that gave the next attack have a high crit change (perfect to go EC > DT - and give MA/ some much needed help in the AoE department)

 

 

My question is essentially, what is the best ST attack chain for MA? Is it still the aforementioned CAK>SK>CS>SK? Or with the changes to EC maybe mathematically it would be worth?

 

 

 

Anyone have any ideas? I have been looking at whats left of the old forum posts but cant seem to find anything directly addressing this.

 

 

 

Thanks in advance :)

I've only just discovered this new version of CoH, so this might be presumptuous, or premature (or my info might be out of date), but I thought I'd link to my ancient thread with a fairly exhaustive comparison of Street Justice and Martial Arts attack chains:

Welcome home, Obitus! I'm still using your dps calculator.

Thanks, exactly what I was looking for. I guess the ST attack chain is still the same as it always was.

I assume EC is worth it for AoE when paired with DT (and if nothing else is a nice place to put a set)

 

Didn't realise I was talking to a legend  :P thanks!

 

PS that DPS calculator looks pretty cool
