Optimal Savage Chain?

[Koda651]

Does anyone know the ideal Savage Melee single-target attack chain?  Assuming a high-recharge build, of course.  I've tried searching around, but my Google-Fu skill for this seems as bad as my skill at playing the game.

 

Are we using Hemo right now, or is it still a skip power since the over-nerf?

 

Thank you in advance.

The last information I had is that was that losing blood frenzy wasn't worth it, and Savage Leap is a proc delivery vehicle, but I'd rather see if there's better knowledge than my (quite old) folk wisdom.

That matches with my most recent recollection as well, but it may be years out of date.  Some fast loop of the T1 or T2 with AS and maybe a snipe?  Not sure if Shred should be in the ST attack chain or if its animation is too slow.

 

Blood frenzy charges simply maintained in ST for the buffs and only dumped in AoE?

 

I am already building Savage Leap as a proc bomb.

FWIW, Ston used Hemo as part of the single target attack chain he posted about for the melee damage testing that he did. He provided the builds used for testing, as well. Here's the link, with the attack chain used for pylon testing listed for each stalker primary given in the stalker pylon testing table ... 
 

IIRC Ston stated that he couldn't guarantee all the attack chains he used for testing are optimal, just that they were the best that he found. So, perhaps there are better put together attack chains for savage stalkers. Or not. What's here may still a useful data point, though, even if it's not optimal.

This is EXACTLY what I was looking for.  Thank you!  I knew there were some pseudo-recent pylon tests kicking around somewhere, but I just wasn't finding them.  Definitely going to be tweaking my build again soon.  I'll have to try it out in-game, but it definitely looks like Hemo is still very much on the menu.

 

I wish we could give awards here, OG-Reddit style.  Oh well.  Thanks again!
