Apparently…

Marauder: Power, Precision, Ferocity, Vitality.
Crusader: Power, Toughness, Ferocity, Healing Power.
Wanderer: Power, Vitality, Toughness, Concentration.
Minstrel: Toughness, Healing Power, Vitality, Concentration.
Commander: Power, Precision, Toughness, Concentration
Viper’s: Power, Condi, Precision, Expertise
Trailblazer: Toughness, Condi, Vitality, Expertise
Vigilant: Power, Tougness, Concentration, Expertise

As vitality scales very well with our shroud , I hardly can ignore this amazing stat. I used to have soldier gear for my MM ( using Reaper\DM\BM ), as a new stat came out (Marauder) . Combining Staff\GS , will increasing power\precision\ferocity worth sacrificing toughness ?

Honestly Marauder doesn’t seem so stellar to me. It gives less Power/Ferocity for more Precision/Vitality. It might be decent as armor, but for trinkets in general I’d say Berserker/Berserker+Valkyrie are still better.

For PvE you’d still run Berserker, or whatever next highest damage with the minimum defenses to survive.

There isn’t much difference between Marauder & zerker , is there ?

Yeah, but full Berserker Reaper is a waste of stats with Decimate Defense. A mix of Berserker and Valkyrie is your best bet IMO.

Running berserker may give you the option of using Soul Eater instead of Decimate Defense in situations where you will be fully buffed, but I’ve not run the numbers to check if that actually is the case. It’s still fairly narrow however, most of the time you will end up using dd when dps matters.

Yes, I’m wearing Valkyrie armor and half marauder half berserker trinkets and I still have 40% Crit Chance on my Base AND tons of Vitality on.

Marauder has, imo, a worse allocation of stats. Not by a ton mind you, but you don’t need vitality as PvE MM really, it is the worst of the defensive stats for you, and you give up damage for it. Take Valk until you don’t die to mobs, then berserker, and slowly swap in more berserker until you are at the point where you can survive mobs while having the least defensive stats possible.

Reaper MM isn’t going to have great Decimate Defenses synergy, you won’t be stacking up huge vuln since you can’t afford to go Spite, and you can’t camp RS 1 paired with Soul Reaping (if you even have that line as an MM). So your vuln is extremely limited. You also have no fury, so you are going to need the base crit chance. Valk is a much better option for normal Reaper for sure, with enough berserker to get your crit chance to cap, but that doesn’t apply to Reaper MM.

Yes, you’re right, I forgot he was asking for MM Reaper.
