which actually gives the player more damage for a melee char's act 2 merc

I’m assuming reapers toll. 50% extra damage is a fuck ton. Idk tho, would have to test or do some math

i was thinkin this too but not really sure. a lvl 20 concentration adds 345% damage but reducing an enemy's phys resist by 50% is really a lot (additive versus multiplicative)

depends on the build for sure and what your doing, I would say in most cases reapers> if et, the crowd control alone is insane, 50% dr reduction is on total amount of dmg, so its more, but it does need to be triggered, which in case of pride, is a constant stream, if you need to deal with physical immuns, then for sure reapers, but if you need speed and your killing really fast anyways, then pride might be better

its on a ww/zerk barb

personal flavor: go for RT.
It's much safer and the curse is pretty much always up

the -50% is insane

no match, reaper hand down.
it also break immunities

e: would suggest pride only to bowazon as you won't tele --> enemies will be dead before merc reach them

This, and it also applies to any melee char.
If you don't tele and if you kill quick enough with Pride, then Pride > Reaper.
If you teleport or if your merc get the opportunity to reach targets before you can kill them, then Reaper > Pride.

decrep is more dmg, but it's not an aura that applies instantly to everything
with a good char in p1, stuff tends to be dead way too fast for decrep procs to be relevant

on the other hand this is another argument pro reapers since you only need the help of merc with stone skin/immune and pride wont do anything there
