Atma

[Swords]

Waaat? That's a terrible combo for Monk.

Best DD combo for MNK is pretty much the same as the best Tanking combo- RR+AoA+GH, although for pure DD A&O might beat out GH.

I admit I was not thinking about using h2h weapons at the time and I did fail to mention I tend to fulltime Footwork with the 2-4 hit Ursine Claws +2. Since the maximum you can kick per round is twice and the proc. rate for the claws go off so often having AoA for triple attack almost becomes moot where it serves no other purpose melee wise. I'm aware VV gives double attack however its STR and Rregain bonuses make it better than most other atmas. Anyways, the setup is not nearly as bad as you might give it credit for from a pure DD standpoint, its nice to occasionally break out a 700+ critical kick, and 3k+ WS's without the Emp WS. However yes it does suck if your using your h2h weapon, where the Double and Triple attack would have a more profound impact on your damage.

You can hit 3k+ WS with Ascetic's Fury without gimping your TP phase damage.
