QS > BB > SB > MB > QS > BB > SB > Repeat Hitting CS when Power Siphon was recharging, which was once per Power Siphon down time.  Out of the three tests, it only crit once.

 

QS (4 DMG Procs/2 HOs)

BB (3 DMG Procs/2 HOs/Critical Strike Proc)

SB (4 DMG Procs which includes the purple/2 HOs)

MB (2 DMG Procs which includes the purple)

CS (1 DMG Proc - the rest is +5 Purple Set not including the Proc)

 

Power Siphon slotted with Gaussian Proc and 2 +5 RCH IOs

 

Assault Core Hybrid

Degenerative Core Interface
Musculature Core Alpha

 

3:08 - 331.79 DPS - Assault Hybrid off

2:08 - 427.4 DPS - Assault Hybrid on

 

Also did a run with Ageless Core running and got 2:08 as well, which I would've thought would get Power Siphon going more often for higher.  Maybe I was just off on when I should've been hitting CS tho, as I was hitting CS when I saw the Power Siphon buffs go down and not right when the power stopped.

 

Edit:

 

2:24 - 394.11 DPS - Assault Hybrid off

Ran another test due to the big difference in time with Hybrid on and off.  So, I'm guessing I screwed up on something with the 3:08 time.

Did the spreadsheet lose the data chunk?

Whatcha mean? Admittedly, I'm not always up to date keeping up with it. I tend to put stuff in there in spurts. Porn distracts me.

[DarknessEternal]

Previous versions had data chunks containing builds.

No way, I forgot my FM/SD scrap made the list, what a throw back.

 

I think it’s time I levelled another one

[SomeGuy]

Average of 5+ runs. Hyrbid off. No temps.

 

Scrapper     SM/BIO     1:06 (Degen/Melt Armor/Enflame/Proc)

 

Scrapper     BA/BIO      1:10 (Degen/Melt Armor/Enflame/Proc)

 

Seismic Smash is just wild.

 

Battle Axe definitely got a big glow up with it's recent pass. You don't even need to spec for AOE and it poops out a lot of it.

StJ/Nin Stalker

 

Shin Breaker > Assassin Strike > Crushing Uppercut > Sweeping Cross > Zapp > Repeat

 

Alpha: Musculature Radial Paragon

Interface: Degenerative Radial Flawless 

Hybrid: Assault Radial Embodiment (not active)

 

2:23 - 395.98 DPS

 

Slight gap in Crushing Uppercut (0.454 second according to Mids, but I believe it's more in actual game)

 

Shin Breaker has -Resist Proc and Touch of Death Damage Proc

Assassin Strike has Chance to Hide Proc

Crushing Uppercut has Purple Melee and Purple Hold Damage Procs

Sweeping Cross has -Resist Proc and Purple Damage Proc

Zapp has Gladiator's Javelin Damage Proc and Purple Damage Proc

 

Looking at @Ston's MinMax, I didn't repeat his order in the attacks, and I wonder if that may have been an issue.  His would use a Combo Level 1 Sweeping Cross and a Combo Level 2 Crushing Uppercut.  I went for Combo Level 3 Crushing Uppercut in my runs.  I also don't use as many procs or Core Degenerative Interface.

 

Also, I did use Build Up when ever it was active (it has the full Gaussian Set in it).

 

All in all, I don't personally think it's to bad.

 

EXTRA: While writing all this decided to do another test with Hybrid Active (Radial not Core) and got 1:41 - 507.49 DPS

Low-ish damage compared to fire or plant. Huge control, I find it sails through most encounters that my earth dom struggles on.

And gravity now ? Can it reach those type of ST damage for you ?

Actually ran in to someone asking about this today. I'm still baffled why this is in the Scrapper subforum and not just in the general AT forum, since allllllllll ATs do this.

The original thread on the live forums was in the scrapper section, from back when the main/only ATs able to do it were scrappers.  It was remade here just from tradition I guess.

 

There's a few similar thread in the main AT section though, like Koopak's clear speed test thread, or the build benchmark thread.

I definitely remember on the live forums it was. I distinctly remember that (I was pretty active in it). When the thread was recreated elsewhere it was put in a more appropriate section. Part of my confusion.

 

I've seen those threads. I like them a lot.

BTW @Ratch_, you motivated me. I did a pure Pylon build with my tw/bio and got some crazy #s. You can definitely get sub 30s times with melee. Consistently.

TW definitely has excellent sustained ST. What times are you getting with axe?

According to my notes from a while back:

 

Scrapper     BA/BIO     1:10 (Degen/Melt Armor/Enflame//RoF/Procs)

 

This is an average without outside buffs, no lore, and hybrid off. How I record all my runs.

 

I do know the LOL run I talked about had Geas of the Kind ones and hyrbid double hit going. ATO2 in FT. I think it got as low as 26s? Did similar with DB/BIO and got down to 30s but I do know that build doesn't benefit from recharge near as much as TW/BIO.

 

*for funs I did a pylon only build and cranked out 24s with BA/BIO.
