I have no runes for pride. For now i have act 5 merc with double hustle and lawbringer, and act 2 merc with non eth reaper. Act 5 i like more so far. He is more tanky, proc decrep fast, and lawbringer helps a lot with undead. For now i need these Cham rune for metamorphosis. I think the only way is to farm LK for Sur \ Ber and cube for Cham. I'm on half way on that. And i better kill myself, than do it again for Pride :D

Ha I'm in the same boat. I managed to get an eth decap made, but I'm getting fisted in A4 before i can even get to some of the packs

i've burn my ssf zod rune in 238 ed 15 ll eth reaper's toll and what can i say about reaper's toll ? Add's so much survivability and with bone break also no problem with pshycal resistance mobs so ... the wraith that are extra fast and burn mana are no joke without decrepify ... lister and his minion extra fast extra strong are also no joke ... hands down the best weapon for pvm fury druid i think . Uber's can be done without life tap (maybe not at p8 with a fur druid ) . I used act 1 merc with faith to reach last ias breakpoint and add a bit of ar too . Not the highest dps but of course the safest and manageble fury druid i tried .
Edeath decapitator does a lot of damage but in hardcore for example must be really annoying to see life pool goes up and down easily... of course without constant decrepify you need at least 86 fhr againts hard hitting mobs or max block because otherwise the play experience is indeed awful in some circumstances
my 2 cents of not so deep experience with fury druid

Eth Reapers + Zod + Faith = Lifetime in ssf :D . I didn't even find my freaking gores and highlords, lol.

Not exactly. i also created bliz sorc for mf and LK runs.So i have two chars for farming stuff for my druid. But i'm playing offline. And i'm not playing at p8 all the time,ofc. Some areas are to slow for p8 for now. Need some gear to complete my build: metamorphosis, gores and highlords and CTA. I like this game: I've found rare stuff like griffons, arach, grandfather, few titans and zaka shields, maras... But not a pair of god damn gores :D
For farming routes as for fury i just play p3-p8 terror zones. Or p8 pit, if terror zone is crap

Ahhh the eternal debate…

Best QoL?
Self-wield reaper + pride merc

Highest dmg on low player count?
eBotd TM + *see note

Highest dmg on high player count?
Death + *see note

*note
If you need the merc to apply decrep/amp you have many options…

A2 might Reaper
The problem? He’s slow, always late to the fight.
You can help him by using hustle armor for the extra frw.

A5 frenzy Lawbringer
This one moves super fast so he’s always with you.
The problem?
His attack rating is very low, that mofo misses so many attacks lol

3rd option?
Don’t rely on merc to apply the curse.
Instead, don’t use cta on swap, you should have a huge hp pool already without it anyway.
When you see phys immunes, have on swap either reaper or lacerator.
This way you can still have a a2 might pride merc to achieve the highest possible dmg and you still can deal with immunes by just swapping to secondary weapon to trigger the curse, which is way more reliable than depending on the merc’s stupidity (he never goes where you want him to without the reposition from tele)
