Ye but if you have a pride merc (who doesn’t deal damage anyway) it doesn’t matter if he’s in Narnia or not cos you just use him for his auras.

Fury Druid should self-wear reapers and play physical geddon based hybrid

You need reapers on your Merc of you insist on not using it yourself imo op

I would also ask you to consider a 100 life archon plate with 4 open sockets filled with 160 Ed / 60 IAS (all 40/15 jewels) of your aim is to maximize dps.

If you have the time, you could also swap out your meta helm each time you buff the marks for a few minutes for Gface. It will increase killing speed.

Why do we need Reaper on merc or selfuse when we can just use a Bone Break charm to kill immunes?

My sweet summer child

The reason immune breaking is so incredible on the nova sorc is she gets them to 95% (inherent ability from sunder charm) THEN reduces that immunity further by like -75% through gear (we're talking minus enemy lightning resistance here)

That stat straight up DOESN'T EXIST for melee. There is no "physical facet". So you must do it through two ways - necro curse amplify damage or decrepify. Since reapers procs decrep like a million times a second (and amp options suck unless you have the time to swap to lacerator storm shield on immunes - yikes) you always go decrep.

I'll do a math example for you if this was unclear.

Thanks! That makes a lot of sense. So are we talking seconds or several minutes when trying to kill immunes just with Bone Break?

Let's say the enemy has 10,000 life for ease of numbers. You used bone break and he has 95% resist to your physical damage now. Only 5% of your damage is getting through so you need to deal 20 times it's life - or 200,000 damage to kill this monster. Now let's instead imagine your decrepify procs from merc. Now this monster has 95% resists that is further reduced by an integer 50% from decrep. Now this monster has 45% physical resists and you need to deal 18,181 damage to kill it. That is about 10 times as fast. If it took you a 10 seconds to kill it with just bonebreak, now it's taking you ONE second

Depends what you’re fighting and the player count.
But you do 5% dmg, so 20x longer kill time.
Using bonebreak and no other source of -dr% (decrep/amp) is kinda useless.

Played a lot of fury druids

My personal preference in order :

1.
Self-wield reaper, pride+hustle might merc
Best QoL, merc’s aura always in range, not relying on him to proc decrep (without enigma to reposition him its bad)
A bit less dmg than the following options (but still gg dmg)

2.1
eBotd TM, reaper+hustle might merc
Highest flat dmg (ideal from p1 to p6)

2.2
edeath, reaper+hustle might merc
Highest dmg for p7-8

3.
Same as above but with a5 Lawbringer merc.
He runs fast with frenzy, but triggers less decrep and no might aura (unless you put LastWish on off-hand, but then lifetap overrides decrep)

Hated using a1 merc, always out of range or dying.
Hard to say if I prefer using enigma… without self-wield reaper I hate to try to make merc attack phys immunes… he always just do his own business or get stuck behind.
Can always use hustle instead of cta on swap, cuz you don’t need more life from BO anyway, so triggering BoS can make it easier with the ias bp. But it’s a bit lame to trigger it every 2 min with 5% ctc…

Many many options… its all about your personal preferences.
For me, QoL is the most important factor.
