Ruthless VS Damage on full life.

What is better? (no bleeding just pure damage.) Ruthless do 113% more damage on 3th hit. So average 37% more damage each hit. Damage on full life do 49% more damage on each hit. Is it better than ruthless then? Of course considering I will be always on full life and no bleeding option.

The gem requires the player to be on full life. If the player is affected by damage over time, such as from Blood Rage, the player can remain at full life by offsetting the damage with enough regeneration or leech.

When this gem supports a totem, the totem will deal more Damage with attack skills as long as the player, not the totem, has full life. [1]


but it seems bad?

I just did some math and it does indeed seem that doing 49% more damage beats 37% more damage.

I think in this case damage at full life still works, even though you appear to be a few hp below full life. I believe you can check this by seeing if your tooltip changes when you remove the gem.
if your life regen is higher than your loss of hp than it still counts as full life.
Any degen makes damage on full life worthless, and there's no way to counter it.

I believe they changed it in 2.6, meaning as you long as you outregen the degen it still counts as full life.
It appear I've lagged a bit, didn't know about this change.
Wiki also confirms it.
