The recommend function does not always come up with the best deck (both in actual performance and in deck power rating). The biggest things to toy around with are the weapons and the various faction bonuses (top row and whole deck). For a while, the system was not properly favoring the signature weapons for cards. Through experimentation, I can usually find a deck config that is better than the recommended one, sometimes by a full 1-2k. Also, maximizing the DP number is a pretty good proxy for maximizing your average damage, but it's not perfect. I've found that the DP calculation overemphasizes attack and defense, and underemphasizes hit points. Again, DP is a pretty good estimation, so although you may be able to get more out of a line-up with a lower DP, it won't be huge.
