Brawler vs Ruthless

I can’t choose which is better for me.

My DIBS: Taeguk 76%, Rend 30%, Battle rage 10%, Berserker rage 25% -> 141%
Brawler: 2,61 / 2,41 = 1,083 -> 8,3%

Ruthless is 1 / (0,7 + 0,3 / 1,4) = 1,094 -> 9,4%

But that is without counting Stricken. Stricken will lower Ruthless bonus, but I don’t know how much. For trash minimal, but for elites will be much more.

How much Stricken stacks can elite have on 30% life?

Stricken only works on one monster at a time (plus the extra RG damage) whereas Ruthless works on every monster every time.

That is obvious that stricken works only on one monster.

But only 20% bonus from Stricken on 30% life on elite is enough to lower Ruthless bonus to around 8%…

Question is, can elite has 9 stricken stacks on 30% life? 1+ minute fight is very much hits, can 9 of them be on one monster?

It will probably be very even betwean Ruthless and Brawler.

Now I am using Ruthless and probably I will continue use them.

S19 or NS?

I would take Ruthless.
When in density you damage elite with AD. And when you have killed trash Ruthless is better to finish elites.

I have resolved the dilema. I have made perfect Helfire (still don’t have good enough FoT to be better than Helfire) and I am using both passive now…

That was an interesting solution. Now the question is, is FoT better than using both Brawler and Ruthless?

Good enough FoT is better.
