Aww you guys are hurting the BG elitest know it alls feelings, never minds tantra neck is better dd then faith.

Except it isn't.

2/122 is a 1.6% increase in WS frequency, before it diminishes thanks to the overflow of TP from high DA/TA levels.

vs. 1DMG atk and similar accuracy.

You are forgetting to factor in the +2 set bonus effect on the extra kick rate.

Napkin math is showing Faith ahead. Care to provide any sort of quantitative backup to your claims, since you're the one who came into the thread insulting people?

Set bonus around 5%, so 5% of an extra 2%? That's pretty marginal. It would only win in ideal situations, ie: uncapped accuracy, but capped attack, then maybe MARGINALLY pull ahead.

just remember not to overstate the set bonus; you should be wearing fuma sune-ate so you can cap haste while rocking a twilight belt for superior DD, right?

Might as well ask here. When tanking on mnk, is it best to use Shadow Mantle, Ultion mantle, or Atheling Mantle? Ive just assumed its Ultion Mantle, but like to hear what everyone else thinks.

[Cream_Soda]

Ultion if the mob isn't slowed/elegy'd and you're counterstance tanking w/ mnk/war and do not have marches. (and macro'd in for your 2 hits of perfect counter).

Atheling mantle for higher haste situations or if the mob is being enfeebled.

No one mentioned that tantra tathlum is lulzy... Thew bomblet is way better. Plus, attack is totally uncapped at 557 on most NMs that are worth anything. Probably uncapped without zerk on on most things that are over decent challenge.

And yeah, as hume I have about that HP in altep sometimes more, so you need merit abyssites.

i did a test with thew vs tantra tathlum for v. smite. tathlum out did thew but about 1.6k overall. not much of a diference
