which is better triplus or rapidus?

The difference between RS and MS isn't so high, but sure, MS(90) will always put out higher numbers in the end of things. This doesn't matter though, the dps gained with RS aftermath will always beat anything MS could offer. Considering SARS or SAMS are also better than SAEvis, which means stacking these ws is the better choice if the oportunity arises, we would only need to keep RS aftermath up about 33% of time(a bit more due mandau's attack boost and higher ws damage) and Twashtar's dps beats mandau's.

Should never be using Either of the two over Evisceration 99% of the time anyway of course :P Inside (A) anyway :O!

so, I dunno, In order to activate Twasht Aftermath, You have to use Rudras every what, 60 seconds? Now if you perfectly time it to where you always SA or TA Rudra's, That won't be as big of a deal, as a SA/TA'd Rudra's is nice.

However, If you're lowmanning/Solo-tanking like most THFs do these days, You don't get to use Rudras' to its fullest power, So every ~60(??) Seconds you use a gimped Rudras instead of Evisceration, You're taking damage away from your WS Phase in order to activate its Aftermath. Where as Mandau's effect is always active, Even though it has a little lower proc rate, and you can repeatedly use Evisceration.

Unfortunately Wiki is absolutely Worthless when it comes to Proc rate on Aftermath/Mandau. But you also have to take into account mandau occ.does Triple Damage, while Twasht Does only Double. I think the numbers would be closer than it sounds D:

Plus Mandau has the Attack+35 (by 99, Likely Attack +45) which is a good increase in THF's over-all DPS as well, Though not as significant as its other bonuses.

I'm in no way saying Mandau is superior, I'm only saying I think Mandau is the smarter choice, Especially considering SE has mentioned plans on making Relics return to their Superior standing. and since Mandau/Twashtar are so close, Mandau99 has a good chance it will Stomp Twasht99.

(again, Please stress right now I believe you're probably right, Since i cannot for the life of me find any information on Twast Aftermath Rate, or Mandau's Hidden effect rate...)
