Best Atmas for DNC?

[Juri_Licious]

What are the best Atmas for Dancer?

[Raksha]

"Atma of the Razed Ruins" is going to be at the top.

I used Gnarled Horn and Atma of the Apocalypse also, but i'm too lazy to check if there's anything really better.

[Alkalinehoe]

I personally use RR/Gnarled Horn/Apoc most of the time. I like to use RR/GH/VV when running around a lot and killing fodder mobs since it's nice to have a fresh WS at the start. Never really tried using SS just because The TA from Apoc is so enticing.

[SpankWustler]

Always Atma of the Razed Ruins. Always. Atma of the Gnarled Horn and Atma of the Apocalypse are the traditional choices to go along with it, and good in most situations.

If you really need evasion, your best bets would be Atma of the Siren Shadow or Atma of the Dark Depths. I assume the latter is better, but not knowing the exact numbers of each I can't say for certain.

In some situations, Atma of the Voracious Violet might be useful.

Stay far away from Atma of the Sea Daughter. It is not your friend and it bears you no gifts.

Like evryone above has said Razed Ruin and Gnarled Horn are prime choices of atmas for dnc. The third atma slot however is open to a more defensive approach should the situation call for it( elemental resist ect). Sanguin Scythe is a good choice for a third atma as well if your not concerned about elemental or other effects. Bottom line Razed Ruin and Gnarled horn always, and third is open to flexibility.

<---- not a dnc but has dnc friends and have taught some dnc about atma (got them the atma lol) but as stated above GH and RR are always good and from what ive seen it comes down to what are you doing and what do you like the most. There is always that situation where elemental resistance will save your life but for general running around and doing whatever it comes down to VV and AoA which comes the personal choice. 15% triple attack 10% quick magic (helpful assuming your subbing nin) and the auto reraise is always good and i would use on dnc for damage and tanking (cuz ive seen dncs tank the shit out of things lol). or the 50 str, 10% double attack and regain 2/tic (which has saved my ass many times while /dnc and soloing cuz that little bit helps at least for me) which i use while soloing. Thats just my take on it while being on the outside looking in.

[Asymptotic]

Always GH + RR.

The +50str on VV is completely wasted on DNC. Don't bother. Even the regain is overrated on a job with such a rapid rate of TP gain.

The best 3rd atma choice really depends on your daggers/goals, but it should pretty much be one of these 3: Sanguine Scythe, Apocalypse, Dark Depths.

[Shiyo]

SS adds more damage than GH.

[Anethia]

I personally use Apoc, VV, RR if I'm in a strictly melee mode. If I'm in a low man and find myself pulling hate occasionally I use Apoc, VV and my Eva atmas are GH or Sand Emperor. If I'm soloing fodder mobs I use Apoc, RR and GH or Sand Emperor. However, if I'm soloing NM's I use Apoc, GH and Sand emperor. With GH and SE and stacked Eva gear, I'm practically untouchable.

I would also look into Cloak and Dagger, I haven't gotten it yet but hear it's pretty darn good. There were some other atmas mentioned here that I have not gotten, maybe you should try them out too.

[scaevola]

I find the only situations where I run a good chance of dying while soloing (without it being just unsoloable for me, of course) are ones with frequent heavy magic damage. For such situations, I like RR/Sanguine Scythe/Future Fabulous. For general purposes I use RR/GH/AoA or Sanguine, depending on my mood.

Gales/Beyond/Ultimate or some other MAB atma for ambercleave.

+Evasion atmas above and beyond GH look good on paper, but I am either at or close enough to the evasion cap to never let a hit through shadows anyway (barring untimely AoE stripping) and if I'm not completely untouchable now I will be at 95 a month from now, so I still consider the +20% health on Sanguine more bang for your buck on a non-Taru, though Byrth's taru ass might disagree.
