Hokay, so as of finishing Logan's quest and getting a Hack ring, I now am wondering which ones out of mantis, hack and slash I should have equipped. Or if I should have all three equipped, and take off my fitness ring? confused What do you think?

I had hack for a while but I didn't like it (I don't remember why. Maybe it had too long of a cool down?). I think hack is supposed to be stronger than slash so if you just want a lot of power I'd go with Hack. I keep mantis and slash equipped, but that's just me. Mantis has the highest CL of all my rings so I don't want to not use it, and slash attacks everything within reach (though I think hack does that too).

I prefer hack, although I haven't used slash before. Someone I know has it and it isn't as strong as hack but it hits everything in front of you.

I use hack and slash together. They make a great combo that usually kills whatever I'm attacking right away. Hack also has the bonus of knocking back your opponent, usually out of their attack range. By the time your opponent gets close to you again, slash should have recharged, and hack's charge should finish shortly after you use slash. Slash's sweeping area based damage helps you take out a lot of low level enemies too.

Mantis is more my style. If you want my advice, go with the one that feels the best to you.

depends you could always go for a full pirate set for the speed boost.

Ive been using my Mantis from the beginning and I like it a lot. I JUST found a Slash ring but haven't equipped it yet nor have I added any orbs to it. As far as Hack, idk, don't have one of those :/

The Mantis is a starter ring. In the end, it will not measure up to either Hack or Slash. Those two will just get too powerful. Basically I used all three of them for a while and the only thing Mantis has is the short cooldown. Later on, in the game, you will probably want to exchange it for something with more power.

I haven't used Hack myself, but as one of my friends has it I've seen it in action a lot.
Depends on your fighter style. If you are not using a lot of Stamina, I'd recommend a combo of Hack and Slash, and maybe an upped Mantis. If you use a lot of Stamina, stay away from Hack, it uses up a lot of Stam.

I tend to use hack and mantis together. I'm not really fond of slash.
if you use manti then hack, by the end of the hack animation, mantis should be recharged, so you can use it again. it's a great combo, imo

Hack and Slash go naturally together. If you have Keen Eye or Landshark with both of them, you can get the Pirate Bonus.

But if you have Shuriken, Dervish, or Ghost you get the ninja bonus.

I personally have all three equipped and am going for the ninja and pirate bonuses.
