Best ST dps

[Frosty15]

What is best single target dps? Is it still tw/bio scrapper?

[MoonSheep]

probably an energy melee stalker or fire blaster, both high damage and low animation times

my ST go to is the Beam Rifle Blaster.  i use that as fire support in RHW Magisterium badge runs,  i can comfortably keep shooting with little affecting my damage output.  because anything you do besides ST just lowers your damage.  move, calculate, whatever.  just sit still and kill it.

Ice Blast used to be the most potent ST damage I believe. I think Stalkers have the highest overall burst for a single attack but I don't think they can sustain it over their entire attack chain but an Ice Blaster is devastating but does have some wicked AoE too.

 

I have it in my mind that TW did get quite a hefty nerf - so pays your money, takes your choice.

Ugh...now I have Mark Hamil's Joker voice saying that over and over in my head.  Wish I'd never done so many bonus rounds in DC Universe Online.

Titan did receive a nerd but it's still a top tier set. People act like the nerd dropped it down to kinetic melee levels. I believe it's still a top 5 overall set. It's just not 5x better than all the rest for no reason.

I think Fire/Rad cor would be up there on pylon performance.

I can confidently say from lots of pylon testing in the past that beam doesn’t hold a candle to a lot of other S/T killers.

I'd probably have to say it would be close, for blasters it'd be Ice blast and stalkers an EM/Bio, both would pump out ridonculous ST damage.  Especially if you can rely on teammates having -res procs popping off so you can just get into your best chains.

EM/Bio stalker or scrapper if I recall, at least with most builds. Though it depends on what situation you are looking for. Solo vs team with buff/debuffs or even just raw damage and what limitations are put on it when looking at its DPS and how long it can maintain it. Believe it or not, its not a easy question to answer.

 

Likely though you're looking at Em/Bio anyways, TW got a nerf though TW/Bio is still a absolute monster and comparable when built right, honestly I think its better for general play, but thats a different discussion.

not surprising, hard to be disappointed with a fire blaster!
