I been reading threads but most are about gear. Easy question i guess.

Atm i'm sporting RR/SS/GH.

Any better combinations?

Also, highest DMG Fury i've seen was 3.7k, think it must've been a TA from ring though.

Thanks~

RR/GH/Apoc is also another good choice, though you're probably just fine using what you have now.

Apoc/SS/RR would be better for your damage overall- plus the Triple Attack helps Ascetics a lot, perhaps more so than GH.

Yeah i thought that too but then 20% HP+ and Crit Damage +20%? Is nice and i thought it might beat the TA, not sure though?

Yeah, you're right. Already broke my previous record. Numbers are a bit more erratic but i imagine that's due to the TA.

Thanks man~

no, it's the loss of consistency.

I used to use Apoc/RR/SS, but then switched to Apoc/RR/GH. Didn't parse the difference, but to my eyes, my damage per swing/ws didn't really change at all, and my crit rate, of course, went up. I don't know why, but without impetus, my crits would only get up to about 370 or so, regardless of atma choice.

I definitely prefer Apoc/GH/RR now.

Based on what I said above, with Apoc, I think the triple attack is definitely a worthy improvement - but again, just what I've seen.

95% of the time I use RR/GH/SS. As a Taru, the HP Boost from SS has saved my tail plenty of times. As Austar also pointed out, the consistency of using all 3 atmas is also appealing.

Using Apoc can put up some inconsistently big numbers when TA procs during WS, but the trade off of losing SS or GH in favor of 10% TA is, for me at least, a bit difficult for me to swallow.

Back when I was still using Ascetic's Fury I got the best results from RR/SS/VV, though more conventional wisdom suggests that Apoc in place of VV will be better for both DD and spike dmg.

I use RR/GH/Roaring Laughter if I just absolutely do not want to get touched, but thats rarely required on anything.

Its 15% TA, and considering you're either starting at 0 or 3% its a huge impact in your total damage, as not only does it affect your ws damage, but also your melee damage and ws rate.

You already have crit damage and crit rate, thus SS and GH give small boosts overall in comparison to the 15% TA from Apoc.

Apoc/RR/SS if you plan to eat any decent attack food, red curry buns and such, Apoc/RR/GH if not. The amount impetus is up really closes the gap between the crit rate gain from GH to SS since a decent % of the time you'll be losing the max crit rate gain out of impetus.

I'm voting apoc/rr/ss as well for pure damage.
