My pleasure.
And if you really want to improve clear speed, you'll want to have a way to cast either Decrepify or Amplify Damage as often as possible.
There are several options there, but in my opinion, the most reliable is Enigma on self + act 2 mercenary wearing The Reaper's Toll.
If you go that road, i would recommend Blessed Aim as the merc's aura (pretty unpopular opinion, but it greatly improves his chance to hit champions|uniques|bosses, which means significantly faster Decrepify for you).

That would make sense, especially considering I want to focus on terror zones.

Great advice. But I would suggest might ! As Barb damage is always what holds it back! But great advice nonetheless

In the situations where it matters, you'll actually kill faster with Blessed Aim + instant Decrep, than with Might + delayed Decrep.
Instant decrep is also extremely benefical to CB damage, because it's higher when the mobs are at full life, and it isn't boosted by Might at all.
It's actually pretty significant against champ packs, and standalone uniques.
Might wins in all other cases, i guess.

If doing tz clears I would argue the more damage from might is better. Doing full clears not just sniping elites. For full clears I go might. But I doubt there would be a large difference between the two set ups


Edit. Might always helps. Blessed aim helps with champs. But itd makes it useless against normal mobs. Just use eth in weapon if so worried about hits imo.

Eth is probably the way to go when using Might, very good point.
I personally find Blessed Aim more universal, i kinda like the extra res you can get from an IAS jewel instead (for ubers and colossal ancients especially).

Yeah man. And with eth you can’t reach max ias with reapers either. So def has some positives and negatives. Like I said I would imagine they are very similar.

Blessed aim isn't necessary. You can increase the proc rate by increasing the attack speed. In the case, kira with 15ias jewel, shaeled reaper and eth mania armor make the merc insta hit stuff with 4.5fpa. On act bosses, you cast taunt.
