Obedience or Reapers?

Hey,

I always wanted to give my Merc an Obedience, but last week or so i found a

The Reaper's Toll and it already increased my farmspeed and my survivability massively (I play a

Frenzy-Barb).
Now I was wondering if an Obedience would be even better.
I´m sure one of you was in my situation before and can help me out.

You need reapers for that wonderful

Decrepify to counter physical immunes, unless you equip a Lawbringer. In that case, if your merc has another source of life leech, Obedience could be good

I personally would stick with the Reaper. The decrep is just soo good for really any build.

For my

Frenzy Barb Reapers Toll is best most of the time, except these two occasions:
-

Travincal if you are horking - both are not good because of the cold damage
- Ubers - Obedience is my preference because of the

Decrepify overwriting the

Life Tap and also Obedience offers some more resistances, which for there is essential

Reapers AKA The Boom Stick

Reapers is the way to go when starting out. Like you said, huge survivability boost thanks to decrep.

However, I'd recommend looking for an

Eth

Arioc's Needle for Trav farming, to avoid cold damage. Every corpse counts / All corpses matter

At the moment I use an Insight to avoid cold damage.

I tried Reapers and Obedience but there were a few of non horkable bodies on the Ground.

I also tried an A5 Barb with Unbending Will,

Bloodmoon,

Arreat's Face and

The Gladiator's Bane but he was not that stable as I hoped.

I used a non-

Eth Arioc´s Needle before i found the Reaper´s toll...
I guess i´m staying on reapers so far. Next milestone is Fortitude anyway

Yea, non

Eth Ariocs is fairly weak, so Reapers def beats it.

And Fortitude is a great choice for merc armor, so long as you don't plan on horking. More cold damage from the

Chilling Armor proc. Chains of Honor would be the best choice for merc, if you do plan on horking.

i've got an

Eth

Arioc's Needle you can have if you're on SC ladder. low ED roll unfortunately, but it did at least get +4 to all skills.
